So they managed to claw the Williams license away from Farsight and the first Williams table pack is live on FX3! I have so far played Fish Tails and Medieval Madness and the new classic physics are pretty darned impressive. I am excited to see what they do with the license. I urge you all to play soon so you can easily get in the top 500 worldwide on the table of your choice with very little effort right now, heh. My second game of MM I got ranked like 250-something globally. Feels good man, but we know that will not last more than a couple of weeks tops hah.

I've been playing through all the Williams tables. I'm really enjoying them. Usually, I like all the over the top effects Zen puts on their tables, but with the Williams tables, I've been turning them off. The tables are so challenging and well designed, they don't need the extra flash. Sometimes it even gets in the way. Offhand, I'd say pack 2 and pack 5 are my favorites, but it's hard to go wrong with any of them.

I got to play some real pinball at a classic gaming arcade. It was amazing how comfortable I felt playing some of the Williams tables. I even set a few (daily) high scores.

Wish I could pick and choose a table bundle. Id get F14 Tomcat, all the Star Trek tables, and assorted other great ones over the years. But Ill be honest there....digital pinball just isn't the same. I like the thump and feel and sound and lights in person.

You could buy one of these:

Only $7000. That makes it a pipe dream for almost all of us. It would be pretty cool to have 96 tables in one cabinet.

While I’d love the $7k one, that’s never gonna happen. At $499, Thais version is a no-brainer buy for me.

If I’m understanding it correctly, it comes preloaded with a bunch of the SW Zen Pinball games, correct? Then you can buy more? Seems like it’s not limited to SW tables, which would be cool.

EDIT: This video has a few more details. Namely:

- Wifi is intended for game and software updates only, not for purchasing more tables. :(
- There will be more than one cabinet, possibly a Marvel
- likely to only 10 of the Zen SW tables included per table (out of 19 tables)

Those all make me much less excited, but we’ll see what the final product looks like.

I've been following this closely since they announced it. I'm an Arcade 1Up fan anyway...

The second table at launch is Attack From Mars.

Here's video from CES of Cooltoy actually playing the Star Wars table. He liked it it seems.
