Update #7 · May 9, 2013 · 15 comments

Hello everyone,

It seems in going through Kickstarter emails, that some of you have not been answered. Unfortunately, we have had server, email and some personnel issues for a few months; this is not an excuse, just maybe an answer as to why some of you have not received a reply. We've now addressed these problems and sincerely want to rectify any issues you have. Please email me at kickstarter@farsightstudios.com with any unresolved issues.

We'll do our best to take care of you as soon as possible. You've been more than patient!

BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE!!!

Update #6 · Feb 25, 2013 · 63 comments

We are thrilled to announce that this wonderful piece of pinball history is now available in the Pinball Arcade for iOS, Mac, Android, and Amazon worldwide!

If you’re a backer, you should have already received an email from us asking which platform(s) you want your rewards on. To claim your free Star Trek table on iOS, Mac, Amazon, and Android, simply log out of your Pinball Arcade account, close the app, and log back in. Easy as that!

We have submitted Star Trek: The Next Generation on the PlayStation3 and PS Vita to Sony in both North America and Europe- the table should be available mid-March. If you are a PlayStation3 or PS Vita backer we will be emailing you your PSN codes just as soon as we get them from Sony.

Due to the bankruptcy of our Xbox 360 publisher last year, we are temporarily unable to release new tables on that platform. We are currently seeking bankruptcy court approval to transfer the game to a different publisher, and we will release Star Trek: The Next Generation on the Xbox 360 as soon as that happens.

Thanks again for backing us and making this fantastic table a reality!

Star Trek: The Next Generation is funded!

Update #4 · Sep 18, 2012 · 8 comments
Thanks to the incredible dedication of our backers, the Star Trek: The Next Generation pinball project has been successfully funded!  We continue to be amazed and humbled by the tremendous outpouring of support the project received from all of you.  On behalf of the entire team here at FarSight Studios, thank you for backing the Star Trek: The Next Generation! 

We've received messages from some of our backers saying there were problems when Amazon tried to apply their pledge payment.  Kickstarter should contact you if this is the case but you can also check to make sure it worked correctly by logging into Kickstarter.  You have only 7 days to correct a payment problem so please check if you suspect there was one- after that grace period your pledge and reward are cancelled (and nobody wants that to happen!) 

We will soon begin the process of disassembling and digitizing the Star Trek: The Next Genration table.  We'll post some updates along the way to keep you apprised of our progress.  As the launch date for the table approaches (hopefully January) we will contact you with details about getting your Rewards out to you. Thanks again for your support! We are very excited start development on this great table.

Help us greenlight the PC version of Star Trek: The Next Generation!

Update #3 · Sep 14, 2012 · 20 comments

Many of you have been patiently (OK, not so patiently) awaiting news about the PC version of the Pinball Arcade. We are excited to announce that it is finally ready! We would like to partner with the Steam online gaming platform to distribute the PC version (including the PC version of the Star Trek: The Next Generation table for our backers) but we need your help. Steam uses a greenlight process to decide which games to distribute based on the number of votes a game receives. Please take a minute to cast a vote for the Pinball Arcade. As a small thank-you we've put together a new video that includes a glimpse of the upcoming Elvira and the Party Monsters table- check it out and cast a vote by following this link:

We have just over two days to go before the closing of the Star Trek: The Next Generation project.  Don't miss out on the cool rewards- backing the Kickstarter project will be the only way to get some of them!
