Humpday Wednesday Pinball #21 – dance, dance rock and roll virtual pinball action – at our PGM Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/todd_russell live streaming from 6am – 10am PST (GMT-8) and each week we feature multiple tables to chase your personal best scores.
This past week on Thursday 11/30/2023, Zen launched a new platform called Pinball M. For details see the launch day article: Zen Pinball M Launches 11/30/2023 – Cabinet Mode Details. Unfortunately, on launch day when I planned to install and play, our internet through XFinity was down for 18+ hours, so I had to check it out by watching other Twitch streamers sharing their game play like Bob & Fae from the Lucifer Bob show (https://luciferbob.com/).
One of the new virtual pinball machine tables we will play today on the Humpday Wednesday Pinball show.
Ultimately, we got busy going out other days to play Stern Pinball on location, so whatever free game time was largely absorbed and here we are at Humpday Wednesday again. Yesterday, I setup and tested that Pinball M was working in cabinet mode and will be covering that on the stream today as well as playing Pinball M for the first time on the stream.
But wait, there’s plenty more!

Here is the fun part, YOU can play, too. All you need is Virtual Pinball and sometimes Future Pinball software and 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, simmply, 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 — this is also listed on every page here at the PGM website. Once we see some scores and activity one of our PGM members will add you to our semi-private Discord 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.
In the meantime, come to the live stream, share your virtual and/or real pinball adventures. Yes, we play real pinball, too. We have a Summer 2023 event happening where you can go out and find real pinball machines to play at surrounding businesses and score chase. We are a friendly group, open to all adult gamers at least 18 years of age. Please stop by the live Twitch stream and say hello to us. Now, let’s flip some pinball!
