v0.96 Jaws (Stern 2024) + 22nd Jaws Week + FX Tourneys + Humpday Wednesday #62

Humpday Wednesday Show #62 – new FX Tournament + playing games at our PGM Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/playgamesmoredotcom LIVE streaming from 6am – 11am PST (GMT-8). We get you over the hump of the week and have as much fun as we can in the process.

  • New FX Tournament launch + recap of last week’s leaderboard high scores + play in tournaments created by others
  • Started a Facebook group for Stern Iron Maiden (Stern’s second oldest in production Spike 2) – what, where, when (daily updates at [2 minutes] to midnight, why?
  • Pinball-related news, views and pinball happenings
    • American Pinball next game is Cuphead? What do you think?
    • Kaneda says Raw Thrills working with CGC on future Halo pinball
    • One of the three new Williams FX pinball games is Earthshaker (1989) – hat tip Knapp Arcade
    • Pinball artist Christopher Franchi goes exclusive with Spooky Pinball
    • Stern home pins “selling well” at Costco per George Gomez (source) and at current pace will sell out by the end of 2024, believes Gomez in interview with Kaneda. I have a PGM article coming that predicts the opposite: that these will not sell out and prices will drop after the holiday season. Then again, I’m wrong 40% of the time, so you decide whom to believe here, the guy inside Stern that would know, or the guy completely outside Stern that is guessing.
    • Settings adjustments for pinball from our phones? Same interview as above with Kaneda that says this feature is coming to all Stern games, but possibly Stern Home Pins get this first (?). Interesting, if true
    • Gary Stern is really, really passionate about Insider Connected. He believes it’s the future of pinball and machines that aren’t connected are “a box on four legs.” Great quote, Gary!

In addition to what’s mentioned above, YOU can play, too. Some of our virtual pinball require Visual Pinball and Future Pinball software as well as the table files which are all free to download.

There is a spreadsheet where we share where to acquire the necessary pinball table files linked on every page at this blog and also here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iRcwa4znh8FL-0DdME5XNcQCM-CTjeTdPnfNcTrh9-E/edit?usp=sharing. Be sure to use default settings for all tables, unless otherwise noted and make sure you’re playing the version listed in the yellow highlight at the top of our iScored leaderboard page. Then, simply, play the game and try and beat your personal best. Once you’ve done so, share the score.

You can share on our PGM iScored here: https://www.iscored.info/?mode=public&user=Playgamesmore. Once we see some scores and activity one of our PGM members will add you to our semi-private Discord (if we don’t, then contact us and ask) where we score chase all kinds of different games: arcade games, modern Steam games, we stream games, play co-op and more. As of this writing we’re also score chasing arcade games and recapping them on Saturday mornings.

We are a friendly group, open to all adult gamers at least 18 years of age and look forward to seeing your scores!

Spread the love
