Some fan favorites break out into a wider orbit. Whether you love or hate video-games you will have heard of Call of Duty. Regardless of whether you have children, Minecraft has likely made its way into conversations. And, correct me if I'm wrong, even if you don't play Pinball you will likely heard of The Addams Family machine's god like status amongst aficionados.
The Addams Family, manufactured by Midway in the early 90's and inspired by the film of that era, is the best selling pinball machine of all time. According to Wikipedia, a total of 20,270 units have been sold. How many people have played the game we can only guess.
I was one of those people and soon fell for the combination of novel table toys, ramps, automatic flippers, great narration from Raul Julia and stunning soundtrack. Since then I've played a range of other tables but haven't found anything to live up to the measure of my first love.
Without the prospect of affording, having space for (or the mechanical smarts to maintain) my own physical machine, over the years I've kept tabs on various attempts to simulate the game electronically. However, besides a brief foray with an unofficial fan-made Visual Pinball version I always drew a blank.
Talking to Bobby King today, Head Designer for the Pinball Arcade pinball simulation game, I discovered why no-one had done this before.
'For me it was a huge personal challenge. I was told by several people in licensing that it would be impossible to get the rights required to produce the table. Raul Julia's likeness and voice-over talent reverted to his estate. Then there is The Addams Family foundation, Paramount pictures who own the movie content and then you have the music license and of course not forgetting the seven different actors. It's been three years in the making to even arrive at amount of money we'd need to pay.' In this case the total came to $101,000.

At that point the hard work really started. Trying The Addams Family table out on the PC, I talked to King about the process offered an insight into how accurately these tables are recreated in virtual form.
The process begins by getting a well maintained version of the physical table and painstakingly disassembling it into constituent parts. These are then modeled on the computer before each piece is photographed and have the image applied. From here the team emulate the brain of the table that connects the switches to the Dot Matrix Display and tracks the score.
The table is then tweaked in the development environment so the ball can move around like the original before going through rigorous test both with Farsight Studio's in house pinball experts as well as a bank of pro players who ensure the finished table offers the same pitfalls and opportunities for top end pinball techniques as the original.

Trying out the beta version of the table led the conversation to which platforms it would be available on. Currently the Pinball Arcade is released on iOS, Steam (Windows /Mac), Android (
One platform that King confirmed was now on the horizon was the 3DS. With the arrival of the more powerful New 3DS XL (and New 3DS) Pinball Arcade was now possible on the system. Personal accounting software. King suggested this was likely for 2015.
Playing The Addams Family pinball beta with my family I was impressed how close the the original it felt. Pulling the plunger and launching into my first game on the table for some 20 years was actually quite emotional. Being able to introduce my kids to this and other tables in the collection was also really special, most of all because they then wanted to go and play 'some real pinball' as they put it.
It's an impressive achievement to crack The Addams Family pinball nut, and takes Farsight Studio's mission one step nearer to completion. As King puts it, 'We taking something that people remember from their past with the sole purpose of preserving a collection of the greatest pinball machines for future generations.' With the crown jewel of pinball now in the collection, and continued strong support on Kickstarter, it seems this mission might actually become a reality.
