1/31/2024 Livestream Discussion Topics
- Congratulations to ALP4K owners receiving their new machines! It’s always exciting receiving, opening and playing for the very first time new toys. We’ll cover real customer gameplay feedback, including from PGM members that have received the machine (if you received yours, come on into the show and share!) as well as side by side virtual pinball comparisons, gameplay lag discussion and tips to reduce the Addams Family lag (44:15 – this guy likes his ALP4K so much he’s thinking about ordering two more! Attack from Mars and Star Trek). So much to talk about regarding Atgames it will take up a good portion of today’s stream!
- Is there a current, newer, higher standard for virtual pinball? Atari released Balls of Steel (my Steam review: not recommended) + virtual pinball past and future.
- Kaneda Pinball Podcast – my one month journey listening to this six year awarded podcast behind the Patreon paywall. What I heard, learned about it and more, including an upcoming profile on the podcast to be published.
- What’s more important: the joy you receive out of playing a game or how much it costs? Why?
Join us in exploring a world of digital game hoarding! An AI-realized world of terror and consequence and the only way out is to … play games more!

Season 1 of Humpday Wednesday Pinball is over, but we’re still playing/streaming some pinball every Wednesday in addition to other PC games on the 4K Alienware setup.
You can search for “Humpday” here at PGM and find details on all 24 episodes of Season 1 Pinball + play and enter scores for any/all of the virtual pinball games we played on stream (and several not featured)
#######################################
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!
