For those of you that are playing pinball emulators on your cabinet, what programs do you use besides Visual Pinball?
I was looking through a few reviews over at Gamespot and I saw two that caught my eye:
"Pro Pinball: Big Race USA" got an 8.7
"Pro Pinball: Timeshock" got an 8.0
The reviews say they are the best pinball games to date. However, that date they are referring to is 6 years ago.
Does anybody play these games? Are they worth putting on a cabinet?
Anybody play any other pinball games on their cabinet?

I play timeshock still to this day. Great game you need the cd in the drive to play the game. No cd hacks work but you lose the background music. The best way to play the game
with a CD you own is to use Alcohol 120% it makes a image of the cd that plays in a virtual cd drive. And the load times are super fast.

Are the physics good? (as good as Visual Pinball?)

The physics are amazing.

ROTFLMAO!
Don't get me wrong, I love visual pinball, but it's physics are terrible. Aside from 2d pinball games it has the worst physics ever.
The best physics come from a company called wildsnake.
They made the microsoft pinball arcade series and improved upon it with two tables on their site.

Sorry, I don't know what good physics are... I had just assumed Visual Pinball had good physics because it was so popular.
You said that Wildsnake created the Microsoft pinball games and that the physics are the best. How are the actual games? What they be something worth buying for a cabinet?

I like em. They are old school though. M$ pinball arcade only has one table with a dmd display (the first one to be exact) as it's a little bit of the best from arcade history. The two on wildsnake's site are mostly fantasy based, but they use even more realistic physics, so they will seem like real tables.
