Another minor problem with Paranormal
The picture that shows up at the loading screen is the Captain America table not Paranormal.

Just got Zen Pinball on iOS for my 3GS, been playing the Sorcerer's Lair table for three straight days and I have to say this is one of the best games I have played on my phone. I decided to purchase the Paranormal table but so far have not been quite enjoying it as much as the Sorcerer's Lair table due to the issues listed by the above posters.
I think the main issue is that on both the vertical and horizontal view the table is much more zoomed in than the sorcerer's lair which I think was a better camera angle. No plunger makes launching the ball a b*itch and forget about skill shots. Also like someone said the loading table image was Captain America's table and while it is not a big deal it does take away from the experience and I am sure it would be an easy fix for the team. Looking forward to the next update.Comment

I will add another couple of points for the Paranormal table and Zen Pinball in general that I think is 3GS specific.
- Dot matrix must be set to small - any other size will have it take up too much space not to mention part of the dot matrix will be offscreen
- Initials for high scores can't be entered unless the phone is in horizontal and even then the left right arrows are barely visible
- the video and pause button on the top right corner are too big. I have played zen pinball on a iphone 4 and the buttons were perfectly sized. The two buttons together takes up almost 1/6 of the screen for my 3GS. I didn't find that to be too big of a problem for Sorcerer's Lair but for Paranormal when Magna save is activated I get an additional giant check mark button on the right hand side near the middle. Combined with the more zoomed in view it pretty much blocks out anything right of the main ramp and a lot of times I find myself wasting the Magna save just so I could get the check mark box out of my screen
It's probably not on the top of your team's list to attend to 3GS specific problems since let's face it we are being phased out, but if there is an easy fix I would really appreciate it if they could include it in the next patch.
Despite all the problems I have listed, the Paranormal table was still very much worth the price and man what a unique table. Would definitely recommend it to other people.
I am looking at the Tesla table now, anyone know how that compares to Paranormal and Sorcerer's Lair?Comment

For me at least Tesla is the lowest scoring table. My current favorite other than the four new tables is World War Hulk, and all time favorite is Epic Quest.Originally posted by falcon05 View Post1BadPony on OpenFeint

Yikes, I am already having trouble reaching Wizard mode in Paranormal... Maybe I should be buying Epic Quest next instead.Originally posted by hillie16 View PostComment

UPDATE:
I have a current bug/ missing items list going for paranormal:
1. When launching the ball, no view of the plunger is shown at all, so you can't see how far the plunger is pulled down.
2. All blue glowing special effects (UFO abduction, triangle hole lights, levitation glowing ball effect) seem to be missing.
3.dot-matrix display on the top of the table does not fit the black box, and effects gameplay during crocodile chase video mode.
4. Magna save function does not seem to work properly. The on screen button does not respond to touch well, and remains on the screen after manga save wears off.
5. The very bottom part of the table seems to be cut off and all you see is a thin white line.
6. green glow effect when haunted house door is open appears to be missing
7. Sound effect for skill shot does not always play
That's my current list, I'll update this if I find any moreComment
