BEWARE: Farsight is not making pinball games at this time...
...due to licensing issues. This is very surprising to hear, not so much on the Stern Pinball side given what George Gomez said here:

But licensing issues overall? Even with Gottlieb? Something's up, and it doesn't bode well with what's left.

LOL well this has been going since 2013 so its had a good innings and any games you have can still be played on it. I thought licence issues were goign downhill when Williams was removed, thankfully i got a good selection of them before that.

Im not as keen on Zen, they are like video games, i like tables i used to play in the arcades.

Mine stopped with last updates.. I think DX errors. Won't even try to start and I've had this for 6 years on steam alone. Funhouse and Bride of Pinbot were my fave real tables. :(

Orbals certainly look and act like pinballs. :)

if this game does not run because of the absence of the Microsoft C runtime library, then read this:

i don't like zen or fx or any of the other pinball games out there. i guess i'll stick to playing pinball arcade with the tables we currently have (i bought them all before being removed) so, like we knew years ago... it's the end of the road. what we have is what we have. we can still enjoy it just the same.

Still love this and FX, but both seem slow in bringing new tables to pc- so many great tables still not on pc and so few places have the real ones (plus it's pricey to play a lot of real ones a lot)

for me (win10) this workaround it worked:

try to download and install both of x64 and x86 visual C++ 2012
