[THE BEST FALL]

Hope there are more williams and gottlieb pinballs on the plans. Stern machines as well :)

Only Williams/Bally....not Stern or Gottlieb.

News on Williams Volume 8, in due time.

Gottlieb is still sold by Farsight, given also the recent releases on the AtGames 4K cabinets, and Steam.

Stern is not in the cards as of now. https://playgamesmore.com/stern-feels-previous-licensed-virtual-pinball-versions-were-not-to-our-standards-but-open-to-exploring-again/

Since they're going to be presenting the second table on Thursday, they'll probably release it in December before the holidays.

Let's hope these won't be Williams' last tables in PFX...

Early last year they had said originally that there were six new Williams tables in the queue and expected by this year's end. That was then later revised to be three tables.

Now, one way to look at that is that they hadn't started working on anything yet when they first made the announcement. So they simply announced a change in plans and continued with the three tables we're now expecting.

However, it's also possible, and equally likely, that they had already selected all six tables from the original plan and had already done at least some some work for them. Once the first three for Vol. 8 are out, they'll come back to continue work on the next batch for Vol. 9 sometime next year.

Of course, this is just speculation and only Zen knows that's coming and when.

Looks like the 3rd table will be either:

Black Knight 2000
Bad Cats
or Police Force

Since the table will be an '89 table.

I really hope it's Black Knight 2000!!!

I hope it isn't Black Knight 2000. It hasn't aged well and is clunky.

Black Knight 2000 has fun callouts but I like how Police Force plays the best out of those so I hope it's Police Force

Williams Vol. 8 - Coming 12/12/24

Black Knight 2000 is an awesome table , the soundtrack alone is worth playing it for.

Well they said they'd do more Williams tables in 2025 so hopefully Police Force is among them (and Taxi and Elvira). Black Knight 2000 is cool though the soundtrack is great.

Elvira and Police Force would be ace too.
If you have never heard of it you want to check out VPX pinball emulation, its not exactly plug n play, but once you got the hang of it , its easy.
I use that as well as Pinball FX (Urkz1945 for pinball), the ROM sound is much clearer imo with FX though, which is why i cant wait for BK 2000.

I use VPX too but I like some of the stuff in FX like leaderboards and questlines and stuff. Plus it's a lot easier to use in general. I'm getting a Steam Deck soon and I don't feel like messing with all the VPX stuff again but in Linux so having some tables in FX will be nice for that.

Black Knight 2000 was where I first learned to nudge, hopping the ball over the lanes on the upper play field. Cool table for sure.

Since this has an extra button for magna save, I'm assuming that'll just be combined with the ball launch button here?

Give me your money!
