I realize a lot of people probably dont play this but I am going to fish anyway.
I am going for the last three achievements (the hard complete the board ones of course) and need some help. Starting with Speed Machine since its the easiest, most obvious table:
I've got most of these missions and how to get them down-pat. Except The Tuning One (not the spinner one but where you need tuners?) and Qualifying Mission. Any advice on an easy way to complete these two? Not looking for big points just a completetion right now. Help menu doesnt have these missions on them and the board is somewhat of an enigma at this point.
Extreme and Agents I'll work on later.

...er, so, I can't really help on the achievements.

its a great game. very faithful to the last real pinball tables to come out (I used to be a pinball froot) and well worth the 10 bones ($US). surprising the multiplayer on live is fun as well. it's frustrating as hell just like the real tables used to be.
protip: read the Help on each table after a few trial runs. helps a lot.

Maybe one day when I have ten bucks and nothing to do.
How well does this game compare?
This is just a tribute.
This made me laugh some.
And if they can get ones based off licensed machines... Damn, Addams Family pinball would be fantastic
Don't touch me THERE!
Yeah, thats a great machine.
I am a freaking nerd.
I dont think that will happen as those are all Midway properties and they probably want them for themselves with compliations and what not. These ones feel real though. Cantido I'm not sure if you played tables towards the end of the existence of pinball but the flippers were a lot stronger and ball pretty much did move around that fast.
classic games are nice but the last few good games to come out were some of the best since the tech was better and they had to fight harder for eyeballs and quarters.
the only issue I have is that you cant read the words on the field. but they do a flyby before you launch the ball for a close. not as good as the real thing...but it's not the real thing so.
meh if anyone is pretty good and can figure out all of the games missions lemme know please I need halp! or maybe I can message the guys on the top ten high scores list :winky:
edit: The Twilight Zone was the greatest pinball game of all time for the record. Made Addams Family look dumb n stuff.

pressure sensitive so passing is a bit tough unless you are just using the momentum of the ball to pass back and forth. they are controlled with the trigger buttons which feels pretty natural. the left stick if for a table bump. generally two bumps will tilt the game which is about right as well when talking about how the real tables worked.
i use easy to hit holes on the table to pass back and forth between flippers. but the ball comes off of the flippers too fast for a real pass.

Also, pressure sensitive paddles? Maybe I just haven't played actual pinball in a while, but do those actually exist? I always just remembered them having the plain buttons on the side.
me too ;>.> i think maybe he is referencing the old really shitty tables that had the flipper strength of a 80 pound grown man (who was not very strong). the trick hitting ramps on those tables was getting lucky enough to get the power to make it up one. I prefer the fast action.

But since we're talking about the game in general now, I recommend it as well. Hell, I only play one table (Speed Machines) since I don't know how to do the others, and I think it was worth the money.
On Qualifying I hear the 'I'm passing cars' sound and then see 1 of 6, 2 of 6 etc. I've gotten the 6 of 6 but never completed the Mission I believe (unless by accident). Do you know if there is a ramp/hole/bumper that finishes the race or you think it's just hit a bunch of ramps and it's done?
Agents is a PITA even though I have my highest rank (2000ish place meh). That middle ramp is a complete bitch to hit. I only get it when I get completely lucky...which makes me pretty angry. I hate hitting ramps by luck alone.
thanks for the advice though keep it rolling.
