NOT officially sanctioned by FarSight... just for fun/curiosity... what are your TOP 10 BALLY/MIDWAY tables of what's left, that you would like to see on The Pinball Arcade?

Poll maximum is 30 selections (you can vote for up to 10), so I've tried my best to cram most of the fan favorites into it. If there's a table you wish had been included, my apologies. I have also omitted any tables heavily rumored or pretty much confirmed for future release.

Info about each of the choices can be found at the links below, thanks to the IPDB...

Atlantis (1989)
Bally Game Show, The (1990)
Black Pyramid (1984)
Eight Ball Deluxe (1981)
Elektra (1981)
Embryon (1981)
Escape From the Lost World (1987)
Fathom (1981)
Fireball Classic (1984)
Future Spa (1979)
Hardbody (1987)
Heavy Metal Meltdown (1987)
Lost World (1977)
Mata Hari (1978)
Medusa (1981)
Motordome (1986)
Mousin’ Around! (1989)
Paragon (1979)
Party Animal (1987)
Party Zone, The (1991)
Pool Sharks (1990)
Radical! (1990)
Safe Cracker (1996)
Special Force (1986)
Spectrum (1981)
Strange Science (1986)
Strikes and Spares (1978)
Transporter the Rescue (1989)
Truck Stop (1988)
Xenon (1980)

Interested to see what the results will be. Just thought this would be fun as Season Three winds down and Season Four approaches. :)

I voted Paragon, since it's the only one on that list I have any familiarity with whatsoever, and that was getting on for 35 years ago now. But I do gather that there has been some limited support for it in the past, so why not, eh?

Like the Gottlieb Poll, I'm either not a fan of most of these or they look absolutely horrible to me.

These were the ones I personally knew or at least looked semi-interesting:

- Heavy Metal Meltdown
- Medusa
- Mousin' Around
- The Party Zone
- Safe Cracker
- Xenon

Not much love for Elektra, eh? That looks like a great table! Unsurprisingly my choices are mainly late-70s to early-80s. Bally has a nice vibe in that era, but I also gave Matari Hari the nod for the jingle bells and targets.

hmmmmmm....... 21 for TPZ and only 5 for PA. While I do like TPZ I would rather see Party Animal.
Radical is doing fine, or at least, better then expected since people here don't talk much about it.
But Special Force :(

I know. :( Special Force is a personal favorite of mine. It's so much fun, especially with the bass kicked up. It's like you're in a war movie. Lotta fun!

Kind of surprised Strange Science isn't doing better than it is, thus far. Seems like I've seen it asked for quite a bit around here and on Facebook. Interesting.

Wes, don't forget Gilligan's Island for the bally licensed poll. TAF could be left out as we all know it's the most wanted.

Stop voting for Xenon and Eight Ball Deluxe. Don't you know those are horrible tables compared to Lights camera action? Come on guys, I'm super cereal.
