Hi everyone, a little history then I'll move on.... Growing up, I had a huge interest in Computers and Video Games. However my true passion was always Pinball. My first computer was a commodore 64 which I got for Christmas of 1983. The first real game I purchased for the C64 was EA's Pinball Construction Set PC Link Here [www.myabandonware.com]. It was simple as hell, but still you were able to create multiball games with it.

About 10 years ago I was introducted to Visual Pinball which blew my mind, free pinball tables that can be created by everyone and anyone with an interest and started out banging tables I remembered creating in the 80's using PCS, then onto Future pinball and anything else that tried to recreate that feeling of real play.

Fast forward to today and we have finally have TPA on the PC and nothing out there has yet to even come close to this; I mean it may not be perfect (DX11), I can think of many things that should be added (Cabinet Mode.) However it has been a start to a near perfect Authenic Collection of pinball tables recreated for the PC.

One addition I would love to see with TPA is side by side double player action with my steam friends, where each player plays on the left or right side of the screen, multi screen or even each player having its own window. I cannot see it taking up much bandwith and this would be excellent for tournaments and competition events. Are there any others who share this same type of interest.

Here is a some Canadian Badass trivia. What do I have tattoo'd on my back?

Curious and was meaning to ask if you were pacman from the visual pinball table creations. I go by DemOmaN on most of the pinball forums and pages

I like your multiplayer idea. I started with C64 as well. I had the tape player to load c64 tape games.
