(Admittedly, I haven’t personally accessed many of the high-score features, so please forgive and notify if errors have been made in this review.)Īt first glance it might seem that Timeshock! is more expensive than most single computer pinball tables, and I mostly bought it because I had heard so much about it for so long. And Timeshock! has what may be my ALL-TIME favorite scoring feature in pinball Lucky - a five million point shot resulting from a-l-m-o-s-t losing a ball down the left outlane. It even has a helpful “glass removed” feature that allows players to investigate the table actions in great detail (but does not count on leaderboards.) If a player has done well on the first three balls during any regular game, Timeshock! offers the opportunity to extend the game (and socre) by up to three additional balls for what offers the possibility of REALLY high scores for the best players. Each game mode has its own leaderboard to track progress against players the world over. Not only is the Timeshock! table itself interesting and challenging, there are numerous methods of play to choose from, each adding its own dimension of fun. Clearly this is no simple table to be mastered overnight, but rather a commitment that might require years of pure joy in order to truely overcome (HA! As if.) The game guide I've use, by Jens Goering -, is 32 pages of valuable information and graphics, well written and structured. Timeshock! offers a complex story about time travel, and the acquisition of artifacts from the varying periods visited. But at least for me, Timeshock! is pretty much rage-proof because it's just SO MUCH fun to play! (And I’m really only an average pinball player.) The challenge of some shots is the very source of the tremendous feeling of success I sometimes get, and I can honestly say that with time comes far greater proficiency, and tremendous personal satisfaction. With Timeshock!'s many challenging modes (including a 4-level video mode that really adds tremendously), there is no clue when a game starts if it will end with a score of three million, or 300 million.or way more! I tend to have a short attention span and often become fairly easily frustrated. It's pretty hard! I would go so far to say that even with its "novice" mode, it's not necessarily a table for beginners, but it IS the table to strive toward playing, no matter one's skill level or the amount of time one has to commit. And I've yet to even BEGIN to be bored with playing the same table, mostly because Timeshock! has such incredible amount of depth and challenge. In the 35 days since Timeshock! was released (1/27/16), I've recorded over 1,200 games. Most days it’s the only pinball I care to play. I've played every table by both major companies (TPA and ZP) on Steam to the tune of many thousands of games, but all that is pretty much in the past.because I have discovered Pro Pinball Ultra's "Timeshock!" table. I've been playing pinball, off and on, for over 50 years, and I've no doubt played hundreds of different tables in total.
