- New FX Tournament launch + recap of last week’s leaderboard high scores + play in tournaments created by others
- Pinball-related news, views and pinball happenings
- RUMOR MILL: Jersey Jack Pinball next machine Avatar, says leaked picture on Knapp Arcade, what do we think (if this is true): https://www.knapparcade.org/post/first-ever-look-at-jersey-jack-pinball-s-next-game
- Keith Elwin on Loserkid podcast talks about the two new challenge modes: Jaws the Revenge and the topper mode (we can also talk about special topper challenge modes adding value for those that buy toppers): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXOo-lFH87E
- We talked about this on the High Noon Hollywood Polo show, but I might have a few more thoughts to add on Stern Home Plus pins for $4,999 coming to Costco, will include IC. It’s a good thing for people to get into pinball however they get into it, really, so it’s important to celebrate however somebody joins the hobby.
- My Stern IC daily played streak ended at 162 days, where do we go now?
- Wasn’t discussed last week, hopefully, we get to it this week: Boxtop Pinball: Haunted House a board game for $24.95 coming from Pandasaurus Games – ICv2: Horror Week 2024 News: ‘Boxtop Pinball: Haunted House’ Incoming
- Only two days left, who is playing? Princess Bride coming to Pinball FX August 29 – https://zenstudios.com/games/the-princess-bride-pinball/ – are you buying on launch day?

################ #######################
You can search for “Humpday” here at PGM and find details on all 24 episodes of Season 1 Pinball (virtual) + 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!
