Fair enough. Unfortunately, I haven't yet figured out how to add such a field properly, even with the help of Template:Infobox software. Is "successor" still a valid Infobox field, in fact? Note: I've been working on modernizing the whole entry since January, but as posted below, I'm fairly inept with WP editor-codes. Thank you. 2605:A000:DFC0:A6:14B2:1130:D3E8:F77F ( talk) 20:26, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
Future Pinball is a free, community-supported, PC-based editor and emulator.
The article has links to Visual Pinball, a similar freeware emulator, and to resources related to these projects.
So why the link to The Pinball Arcade, a closed commercial product only for tablets and game consoles?
If it is appropriate, shouldn't we include links to the dozens of other closed commercial pinball simulations? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SomeAvailableName ( talk • contribs) 08:18, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
Specifically, FP is in fact an ongoing project via BAM (Better Arcade Mode), and does indeed allow ROM content to be emulated via media files.
I've only updated the intro section for now, but will try to work on the body of the article in the coming days. Sorry to say, I haven't worked with the WP editor for many years, and will probably make some errors here and there, in particular when it comes to formatting. While I bring myself up to speed, please do feel free to correct where applicable.
