Blood Machines by VPW is a table that I know really well and I have played it a lot throughout its development. In this tips and strategy guide, my first for a VPX table, I show and explain how I approach each mission, multiball and the wizard mode! youtu.be/vn-797KDasA

Class of 1812 is a pinball table that I didn't know much about. I read that it is inspired by the song "Monster Mash" and classic horror monster tropes, originally sharing that title before being renamed to avoid licensing fees. youtu.be/9dtglYY3NOo

A straight-forward but fun table that keeps you busy. It has some really tricky shots, especially the mystery hole on the right, and then shooting that damn refueling left-ramp when you need to! Thanks Burger for another challenging but fun experience. youtu.be/mqUnM41qsvQ

In this Monster Bash game, I had one of my best first balls ever where I managed to collect all the instruments and had a great Monsters of Rock! youtu.be/2hV83rpjl4c

VPW did their thing, and without a doubt this is now the best-looking and best-playing virtual version of No Good Gophers. Well done to VPW for bringing Pat Lawlor's masterpiece to life. youtu.be/NIav9ACjgMA

Genesis is a table I've played and enjoyed before. VPW did a great job bringing this up to the highest standards we have in VPX. I'm truly grateful that we get to experience these gems that some of us would otherwise never have the opportunity to play. youtu.be/QxxegKyVj1A

When I first played Andromeda, I didn't expect much. An hour later, I was still playing, thoroughly enjoying the engaging challenge. Well done to VPW for bringing yet another great release to life that we would never have experienced otherwise. youtu.be/3A6FAE6sOLg

Cybernaut plays quite fairly and you can have quite a bit of control, but it also doesn't take much to get in trouble. Thanks and well done to Mecha_Enron for excellent work in putting the table together so that we can also experience this rare release. youtu.be/LJrq4CemXyA

I really love this table as it satisfies all my pinball needs. It has great modes, milestones to meet throughout, stackable multiballs with the modes, a great mini-wizard mode, and then a wizard mode at the end - which I suck at ;-) youtu.be/XttWOkS7KL4

I thought I'll do a quick video on my basic 10.8.1 installation and settings that I run in parallel to 10.8. I've been playing with VPX 10.8.1 BGFX for the last couple of months even though it is not yet officially released. youtu.be/0ZJTjb7YIPI

I have zero idea about this game the table is based on. The table looks great though, and play well. If it comes up in a tournament, I'll probably try and figure out how to score well on it, and how to start / finish the missions. youtu.be/VoDmNX9O9_k

I've played The Addams Family many times over the years. I have other videos, but thought I'll share this game as the alt sound is great, and the ball movement also looks so much smoother in 10.8.1, even at 60 fps. youtu.be/eQUOKK7nqpE

This table is fun, and VPW did a great job as always to bring it to life. Without knowing the table all that well, I have a sneaky suspicion that ripping that right flipper for 10,000 points a flip is going to be a big focus during competition ;-) youtu.be/HomuexHvQFM

I tried to remember why I'd never played this before, especially since I enjoyed GoldenEye and Starship Troopers. However, now that I’ve gotten into it, it’s quite playable and a lot of fun! It doesn’t play easy though, which I definitely appreciate. youtu.be/WogKRgPeImM

I usually play The Matrix to finish the modes and get to the wizard mode, which is tough, but this time around I thought to go for a big score as I'm playing it in a competition. It was a pretty decent game, and a few things I tried really paid off. youtu.be/pZBcNs1vK1c

A great release by RobbyKingPin. Hurricane knows how to keep you busy! You must work for every point, and need to pay attention to quite a bit happening. I love it though, as it makes the table engaging, and putting up a great score is rewarding. youtu.be/UQX1CNy5MGY

I thought I'll make a quick video to show some ways that improve performance if The Matrix struggles on your system, and then I also took the opportunity to show some skills that are worth practicing if you want to master this tough-playing table. youtu.be/l2EYAJPEeYU

The Matrix (the original, to be precise) is in my top five movies. Well, the creators of this table, the Pincredibles, along with VPW who helped make it play as realistically as possible, are blessing the VPX community with one of the best VPX tables ever. youtu.be/4FDH6rKbo_I

The table is a lot of fun, but it’s a tough play for me. Either way, after quite a few tries, I finally made it through to the first mini-wizard mode — Kobayashi Maru — by completing all six modes on level 1. It’s a really fun and engaging table youtu.be/Mgh5ZqE0gqQ

This was a quick test to see if the satellite magnet works during multiball. Multiple people have reported there are issues. I had no issues. It might be because I'm running with a recent beta of VPinMame that incorporates a fix of the bug reported. youtu.be/-xgZb9NfBDY

Buck Rodgers is nice and tough and I'm just beginning to put decent games together. In a competition setting, I'm sure I'm going to have many games where I think "this is the one!", just for it to fall apart again. Uncle Paulie did a great job as always! youtu.be/ajaovSsbYSY
