Well now... some of you probably know me already as Eala Dubh Sidhe, a long-time table developer on Visual Pinball and familiar name on VPforums. I haven't been so active in VP circles over the last year of so, since that time has been vitually exclusive towards Heighway Pinball in South Wales. Yep, I'm also Dave Sanders, the chief game designer behind Full Throttle, which itself devloped from the earlier Circe's Animal House playfield (a game which, by hook or by crook, I intend to get made in one form or another). Though making the jump to working on the real thing is every designer's dream, I'll never lose or cut my ties from the digital roots I started from... and in all truth, I'd *kill* for the chance to develop creations of my own on the Pro Pinball platform. :)

Hey folks,

I'm Jo, hailing from Inverness, Scotland. Always loved pinball games, and grew up playing Crystal Caliburn/Loony Labyrinth, before trying out the demo of The Web which came with an issue of MacFormat. That 60 second demo was cruelly short! It's been a while since I've managed to give much attention to any gaming news, so discovering the Kickstarter for TS! the other week made me the most excited I've been about a game in years. Looking forward to playing PP on my mac again without having to use an emulator (no music :()!

I also have ambitions of building my own table from scratch, but at my current rate of progress it may have to be my retirement project...

Cheers,
Jo

Hi @ll,

I'm Lars, age 44, living in a small town nearby Cologne, Germany. I always loved pinball, on the real table and on the several computers I owned over the last 30 years... I'm not quite sure, but I think my first pinball game on any computer was something like "Pinball Construction Set" on my Sinclair ZX Spectrum back in the 80's?

But I will never forget the day I first got my hands on "PP The Web" on my PC... everything before that was pinball games... that was a pinball simulator!!! And T! was even more so a year later... I was absolutely stunned, hooked! Back in these days I was not only convinced, that these PP games were simply the best pinball simulation EVER, I was also stunned by the elegance and beauty of the code... It ran so smooth and flawlessly on so many quite different PCs I could test it on! And I was right, the beauty of the code is proven by the fact, that the games run fine on current PCs 17+ years later!

But back to topic :-) I'm very happy, that T! Kickstarter was funded this time. I'm very proud of being a member of the testing team... so I maybe can give back just a small part of the enormous joy PP gifted me over these years!

Pro Pinball!

Lars

Hi guys, i'm Mike from Holland and start loving Pinball sinds i installed Timeshock. That was for me the first digital pinball worth playing (it didn't scroll vertically like others i've seen..) Timeshock RULES and i played it for hours and hours (a real midnight madness)..

When I heard that Pro-Pinball, in 2012, announced that it would bring a new table i was really excited :o In 2013 i came back to the pro-pinball site to figure out that it would be a new and better version of Timeshock ... NICE NICE NICE :D

Hey everyone,

I'm Ryan, 21 and I live in the USA.

I like both video games and pinball. Unfortunately there aren't many pinball machines in the state I live in (I have only found two places that have a pinball machine), so I have to rely on virtual pinball games most of the time.

I started playing the Pro Pinball games when I was a kid with Timeshock being my first one, and playing the rest later on. I had fun playing all four of the games and would play them non-stop. When I heard that all four of the Pro Pinball games were going to be remastered with the possibility of a new Pro Pinball game being created I was excited.

I participated in both kickstarters and I'm glad that the second one went well. I look forward to seeing the Pro Pinball series remastered, as well as see a new Pro Pinball game getting made :)

Hi everyone

I am Jady from Newcastle in Australia and love pinball, mainly real pinballs. I like to play the odd pinball game on the ipad or mac but when I saw how realistic this kickstarter project was I was blown away and had to be involved.

My goal is to design and build a cabinet and hopefully we will see all of the pro pinball tables come out in the realistic form.

Hey guys,

My name's Mariano, I'm an 18 year-old dude from Argentina that has been using a MegaRace-based nickname since late 2009 for some reason. Some folks here might know me from the Pinball Arcade Fans forum.

I first heard of Pro Pinball through a demo of The Web included in a magazine coverdisk that was around the house. Don't remember much from it, I was probably much busier with Space Cadet and Microsoft Pinball Arcade. It wasn't until last year that I decided to give the series a chance, what with my growing interest of the silver ball (thanks to a trip we had done earlier that year, as well as The Pinball Arcade and the PHOF collections) and the first Kickstarter happening at that time. Gave the free BRUSA a shot, loved it, and shortly afterwards got the other games as well. Loved those too. Truly challenging and fun (especially Timeshock!, still gotta polish off my skills on that one)

Cheers to all, and I wish Ade and the Pro Pinball team all of the best!
