I snagged it last night and tryed it today on my older Dell Vostro 1000 laptop now running Win8 pro (2 GB memory) and the game plays but is in slow motion. I think it's possible that the machine just doesn't have the power to play it right. The laptop is not a gaming machine in any way but I was hoping it could at handle this. Now, Pinball games on my Ipad 2 play great.
Just wondering if anyone here has tryed this yet with better results?

Runs fine on this, but it's a fairly powerful machine.

It's one of the few Apps that I actually use....

Interestingly, the free game is available in the CP and
the RTM, but they each contain a different table.

I liked the one in the CP...:)

Sometimes those games require a pretty decent graphics card (or plenty of video memory) to run well. The slow performance might not have so much to do with system memory as with the graphics.
