![]() Flippers 5 and 6 are….under the table? That’s right! This table features a subway section that, if played on a real table, would have to be played through a piece of glass that there’s no guarantee you can see through thanks to the giant Ghostbusters logo that takes up most of the space. Pinball game does, with two more a little ways above that. The game features two flippers at the bottom of the table, like any respectable This reverse pinball table was inspired by the classic “Haunted House” pinball machine, released by Gottlieb in 1982. While I refuse to dock an app points for straying away from the core basics of its series in a positive way, I have no problem docking a pinball app for using 8 flippers that may or may not make sense, depending on how you view things. There’s a lot of Ghostbusters icons located throughout the table from Slimer, to Stay Puft, to the iconic Ecto-1. Despite being a standalone app with a presentation identical to Pinball Arcade, the table seen in this game is 100% original, being created by the team at FarSight. Unfortunately, fantastic is not an adjective I can use to describe this app. Ghostbusters Pinball is put out by FarSight Studios, the same company that has made the fantastic Pinball Arcade app. Then sometimes you have an app like Ghostbusters Pinball where the two mentalities collide. While some apps like Zen Pinball take the concept of the game and blend it with 100% original tables, some of which can do things only digital tables can do, others like Pinball Arcade take the classic tables everyone knows and loves and digitizes them for a whole new generation. Who could forget firing up an old Windows computer and playing the old Sci-Fi-esq table that was preloaded on all those systems? It’s only fitting that in the age of smartphones and tablets that the arcade classic makes he jump as well. Then you can choose to pay for just that table or buy a pack of tables for a discounted price.Virtual pinball is all the rage these days, though this is nothing new and you shouldn’t be surprised. Pinball Arcade lets you play tables for free until you hit one of the default high scores so there is a nice little try before you buy aspect to the game. At the bottom of the campaign it also says that the new Ghostbusters machine is being released in the Fall. Today I spotted a Kickstarter for AC/DC, a machine from 2012, to come to Pinball Arcade. It was announced a few months ago that they were going to partner with Stern Pinball which meant that some newer games were going to come to Pinball Arcade. Pinball Arcade faithfully re-creates real world pinball machines and does a fantastic job. If they ever release a Premium I'll probably trade in my Pro.Ī company called Farsight makes a game called Pinball Arcade for Android, IOS, Xbox, Playstation, and PC (Steam). It's all going to come down to what features they cut from the Pro. I'm planning on getting the Pro right now because it's much cheaper and because I prefer the Ecto-1 art to Slimer. I've known about the machine for months so I've set funds aside to make the purchase. I have three pinball machines personally and plan on getting a GB when they go on sale. These aren't cheap machines by any means but if you're a pinball fan, you are used to the prices. Rumor has it that only a Pro and LE are going to be released for GB but many are speculating that Stern is saying that so that they'll sell out their limited editions and as soon as they do they'll announce a Premium. It's basically a Premium but with special art. The LE is around $8000 and is for sure geared towards the home market. It usually has all the features of the LE. The Premium is around $6800 and is geared towards the home market. I think one reason for that is for reliability purposes. It usually doesn't have all the features that the Premium and LE have. ![]() The Pro is around $5500 and is geared towards operators. Stern usually markets three versions of every machine: Pro, Premium, Limited Edition. ![]() Half go to operators which go on location and the other half stay in private collections. I think it's a 50/50 split on who gets pinball machines nowadays. Will these be made available for private sale or only to arcades? How much does something like this run? Anyone can purchase one.
