Hi, my name is mark and I currently live in Munich, germany.
I was fascinated with pinball machines sins a was a child, but rarely had the chance, time, money to play.
I was and still am fascinated by the mechanical and electronic concept of the game, with rails, ramps, magnets, holes, bumpers, .... but all I understood was that you had to keep the ball in play, it bumped around and made some bling bling sounds, and you got a score afterwards. I think for a lot of people out there pinball is exactly that. To bad for them.

Pinball had always had its presence in computer game history an I came across a couple, but none had a special impact.
Then I laid my hand on timeshock and I was blown away with the realism and it was the first pinball game where you could feel the mechanical spirit of real tables behind it. I was totally hooked. And after I discovered that there are actually rules and missions and "story" in a pinball game, I was hopelessly addicted. Had quite some fun with TS and BRUSA, but have to admit that I rarely played TW and FJ.

I rediscovered digital pinball with zen's star wars tables on my living room tv. I instantly felt the urge to rotate my tv or lay it flat on the table. I was amazed to discover the whole VP and cab builders scene and instantly decided to build a cab. My passion there is a little more on the hardware side, so all I needed is a better plug+play solution on the sofware end. VP and the community are doing an awesome job, but I lack the lust and time to fondle around with software for xxx hoursit before I can start a game. And I just love high end graphics.
So it was like a dream come true to hear of the kickstarter and upcoming ultra edition of the game that started it all: timeshock! With full cab support :)

Big thanks to the team and everybody who is making this possible!!!

They call me Nick, or preferably under my fursona's moniker, Archibald McShane. My involvement with the Pro Pinball remakes, is only enough to have TimeShock! ULTRA on Windows 7. Which, I hope, is not too far off. Anyway, I'm savvy about modifying or even creating games and simulations. I once gave Ade a suggestion for a Pro PDK, an all-in-one application for designing, building, playing, and publishing custom Pro Pinball tables. I'm telling you, Pro Pinball has nothing on Visual or Future Pinball, they are 15 and 10 years behind, respectively! And if such pinball simulation tech is possible to emulate, how can we hope to improve on the franchise? The Answer: User-made tables using the Pro Pinball Engine!

However if this dream were to come true, we must provide the team the conditions to make this happen for us! So keep pledging, and keep playing Pro Pinball!

after a desert of mediocrity this feels like an oasis, fresh water, juicy fruits and cool shadows, it's a real shock.

Greetings! My name is Sergey and I'm from the Los Angeles area (in reality, "Born in East LA"). I've been gaming since ~1980 and own all the Pro-Pinball games in PC format from back when they were released some ~20 years ago. I am in the PC, technical & manufacturing testing and servicing field. My current equipment/devices (I've accumulated have quite a few after 35 years) are MacBook Pro (late 2011), iPhone 5s, iPad 3, 4 & mini 2. I purchased the Deluxe Version of TimeShock, pretty much on it's release day and couldn't be happier with it, although it does need some work, especially some different table views. Looking forward to the eventual release of the other tables in the series!

Hello!

My name is Marino and i come from Slovenia. When Timeshock! was released i was 13 years old. I still remember the first time i played it with my friends (and i'm 31 now). None of us couldnt make any sense of what does what, the scores were pathetic, but it looked amazing...the moment we realized what the game was all about...it went from amazing to outrages...and the race was on. And that feeling when you call your friend, put the phone next to the speakers, press the shift button to change the time zone so he can hear what he never heard before...priceless. Just as the fact that there's an ultra edition coming out. I cant wait.

So thank you guys for the best pinball i ever played!
