Why is bally 94 world cup soccer not possible on tpa ? likeness of the dog ?
FIFA licensing ? It would would have been great with the world cup june/july release...20 years later.
Never played it myself but it looks like fun and my "kind" of table.

I think it comes down to the FIFA license. I don't believe any player names are mentioned in the game (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) and it's not like you'd have to pay for the mention of a country. The dog mascot would have to be addressed too, but that might even be covered under FIFA.

All in all I think this table is certainly more likely than say NBA Fastbreak, but the fact FarSight skipped over releasing at same time as World Cup doesn't bode well. Maybe someone should bring that up with them, ask if they even considered doing a coinciding release. Certainly more likely to get an answer to that than if they are going to or what the licensing hold up is.

And by the way, it is a really fun table. A bit clogged in the middle like an hourglass, but that's my only gripe. Shooting goals is very satisfying.

I'm with Heretic on Paragon, and sadly the tables at the bottom of this will never see the light of day. Doctor Who is the longshot. The rights to KISS will be held in perpetuity by the Simmons estate. The othes fall in between the times of "hey, let's go play pinball!" and "nah, think I'll just stay home and play GTA".

It's the kind of pin that even people who say they don't like pins enjoy. If that makes any sense.

It's a gateway drug pin.

Definitely +1s for BAAAAAAAD CATS and Paragon, and will add in the obscure Gottlieb gem "Cactus Jack's". For now, I'll have to settle for playing all three at Pinball Wizard!

My top five that I don't think we well get (in no particular order)

Paragon - totally agree with Heretic here...i liked it a lot when I tried it for the first time last year - making it stand out from the other tables of that era.

The Shadow,Star Wars, Indiana Jones - if Disney ever plays ball (if TAF succeeds,maybe it'll help out here) you might have a possibility there. The Shadow is firmly my # 3 most wanted table - but the popularity of Alec Baldwin probably puts it here. I actually think JP could be had - none of the stars are huge & with the new movie coming it could generate publicity.

Any EM's - I'm sure some of you know this - but I don't remember seeing it talked about specifically on the forum. But...

The two EM's on TPA now - Big Shot & Central Park - are both PHOF rereleases. Which means that there has been no new EM tables put into TPA. While there is only a few that I'd like personally - and I would be willing to play more EM's because of my TPA love (and the fact that I LOVE Big Shot) - unless FS decides to throw in a bonus table once in a while - it's just not going to happen.

I'd love to see "Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure".

Only PHOF table I see coming is Sorcerer, just a matter of time. I'd like to see Fire! and Flash but I don't think they're popular enough. Other tables I'd like to see:

Spirit of '76
Captain Fantastic
Evel Knievel
Future Spa
Eight Ball

And many others...

The fact that you are all convinced these tables won't make it to TPA is even more incentive for FS to try and liscense these tables.. Because it's guaranteed you will throw your money at them.
