Is Twilight Zone worth the $15 price on the ALP 4K? Find out my thoughts and watch a bit of gameplay to decide for yourself! #atgames #pinball #zenstudios
thanks Chris good vid. I'm starting to want one. Looks sweet. Flipper lag issues are still holding me back. I'm scarred for life from playing TPA all of those years. lol
Strangely enough, I've gotten very used to the lag and it almost doesn't even register with me now (even though it still exists). Each release from Zen has gotten better. What I love is flipping the power switch on and within 1 minute you are ready to play. Not quite as easy as dropping a quarter, but you get the urge to play and it's near instant gratification. Compare that to booting computer, loading up Steam, loading up Pinball FX, and meanwhile you decide to do something else! The other thing is I am now completely spoiled with playing in cabinet mode on a cabinet. I have a rotating monitor on my PC, I built a PinSim cab controller to mimic the feel (which in VR is still amazing), but this thing just takes it to the next level. I was sort of worried it'd be a cool toy that I quickly lose interest in, but instead it's been the opposite and I can't stop playing on it. And I hear ya about TPA! While I've loaded all the Pinball FX titles, Pinball Wicked, and Demon's Tilt (which is mind blowing on a cab), I haven't bothered with Pinball Arcade both because it lacks a true cab mode and because I don't want to get frustrated with all it's issues once more!
Glad you like that! It's probably how I'll review all future Zen titles as they come to ALP 4K, as we already know how fun or not the actual titles are.
Great video. I think this is one of the best tables on the 4kp from Zen.

Awesome review! I really enjoy your comparisons to the FX pc version
