there's very occasional "Toasty!" and "FATALITY" samples from Mortal Kombat (Dan Forden, the Toasty Guy, did sound for both games) Tim Kitzrow does his NBA JAM shtick as the joust announcer, and even BOOMSHAKALAKAs sometimes a pre-famous Tina Fey voices of some of the princesses It is interesting just how much irl pinball physics differ from their virtual counterparts, there really is nothing quite like it.Īlso, for those unaware, some Medieval Madness trivia: my MM high score in PFX3 is somewhere around 50M (with the hugely unfair default, not "realistic" physics-though I play both), but I haven't been able to get anywhere near that irl just yet. in MM! so much to learn and keep track of at once, but once you start to get the hang of it, playing & learning more is incredibly addictive. I remember learning about the objectives you can go for in Space Cadet but I was blown away by all the different systems/table features/etc. I think the depth that pinball tables (I'm not enough of a buff to feel comfortable calling them "pins".
This is exactly why I bought Pinball FX3, my local barcade got a Medieval Madness table and I remember liking it as a kid, and I wanted to learn more about how the game works beyond "put a few quarters in and hit some flippers until stuff happens", without having to keep pumping fifty cents in time after time. It's an adventure game with pinball segments. Yoku's Island Express is also interesting, it's several years old now, and widely ported. But like a lot of video pinball, at some point it is too much a game of skill, and you can have epic ball times and then it's kind of boring. I was deeply amused when I got a ball stuck and had to use the 'call attendant feature' and got some sort of bonus. In terms of video pinball that's not virtual physical tables, Demon's Tilt is fairly new, and pretty fun. Advancing the plot usually results in good scores. Most games you can do a good job of advancing the plot by just shooting for the flashing shots, but maybe avoid center shots, unless you have a good setup, because a missed shot may be hard to recover, although the trolls can be hard to recover from a hit too. Personally, I like the very end of the alphanumeric era, right before DMDs came and started stopping the game to show you animations, but collectors seem to prefer DMD games. Probably fiddly to keep working with all the dodadds though. MM has always been on the higher end (or at least for the last long while). > I would love to own a table but they're shockingly expensive, maybe someday!
I would love to own a table but they're shockingly expensive, maybe someday! Most tables I've played will suck up a credit in a few flips in ways that seem pretty unfair, but Medieval Madness seems pretty fair. Most of the time when I lose balls, I know exactly the wrong thing I did (in particular, trying to hit the castle gate or the trolls without multiball is pretty dangerous). Medieval Madness is unique among nearly all the tables I've played in that it doesn't bullshit you much. So overall, digital pinball is cool in my book, if flawed. Even still, I hadn't ever seen half the stuff that I got to see while playing the virtual version, and I've taken some of that knowledge into the real world when I visit the bar where that table lives. But I can generally go for a pretty long session on a single credit. the table I play on has a high score of about 190,000,000 so I have a long way to go to have a chance at putting in my initials.
My best Medieval Madness score is something like 50,000,000.

It's nowhere near as fun as real pinball, but the one thing that I found really cool was that I was able to play the game on "training mode" and get a better sense for the different things I could do and how to set up certain situations. I could complain about all kinds of things about PinballFX3, it's very emblematic of the problems with modern gaming, but the tables themselves are pretty good recreations. I recently bought the version for Pinball FX3, and it's not half bad. Medieval Madness is my all time favorite table.
