Actually, I'm almost certain that the Facebook rep confirmed that they wouldn't require a Kickstarter for BSD (does anyone have a link to that statement?).

For myself, I find that the best metric of quality is whether or not a table can grow with the player. This is a big part of the reason that the Bally/Williams DMD output is widely considered a golden age of pinball—the objectives are wonderfully balanced on most of those tables, with something...

Can I play, too? Here's what I'm feeling for Table Packs #27-30: #27: Safe Cracker: Safe Cracker is the only remaining little-to-no-licensing-hassle WPC-95 left other than Junkyard (though I do hope that we see Congo someday), so it's highly likely that we'll see it this season. Can FarSight...

Also, Gilligan's Island is a terrible pinball table, if what I've heard and seen is true. This hasn't necessarily stopped FS in the past (*cough* Goin' Nuts *cough* Harley-Davidson *cough*), but unless FS revert to 2 tables/month at some point, I think it'll be a long time before Gilligan's...

That is indeed what I was going for! What makes Dark Matter such an imposing for for everyone's favorite one tough cream puff? Read on to find out: 12. Dark Matter (Kirby's Dream Land 2) Developed By: HAL Laboratory Published By: Nintendo Platform: Game Boy Year of Release: 1995 Since its...

As you could probably guess from the title, this is a prediction thread with a twist. Think of your most wanted table(s) for TPA, then post a set of standard and/or wizard goals for that table (for extra credit, set a target score for 1,000 HoF points). I'll start us off with 6 tables that I...

In all likelihood, FarSight probably are already aware of this. I've complained about their management of TPA in the past, but nobody can deny that they have a passion for what they do, so they are surely aware of how much more most pinheads like Bally/Williams solid-state pins than their...

I assume the OP means modern Sterns, in which case High Roller Casino is far and away the most likely for 2014, with Sharkey's Shootout not being too far behind. For classic Sterns, however, the playbook opens up quite a bit wider, with Catacomb, Freefall, Iron Maiden, Lightning and Nine Ball...

I sincerely doubt that—a British video games firm called Reef Entertainment landed exclusive video game rights to the Terminator franchise some months ago, so it was all we could do to get Judgment Day. Anyway, I actually have a dark horse pick for our next Kickstarter: World Cup Soccer '94...

Without a doubt, the announcement of TPA After Dark was the highlight of FarSight's holiday Facebook announcements. This new TPA app should open up many intriguing possibilities for TPA, including Big Bang Bar, Family Guy, Xenon and several others. It does bring up an interesting question...

You DO realize that Junkyard is coming this season, don't you? That means we'll be getting it no later than Table Pack #30.

Personally, I think that FarSight could handle their Kickstarters more efficiently than they have in the past. If I were them, I would look into a mass Kickstarter, placing either a moderately popular bang-for-the-buck license (kids, can you say Stargate) or a massively expensive license that...

Ah, I'd actually almost forgotten about that one! I actually don't think I've ever seen one on location–even YouTube only really has one real gameplay video of it as far as I can discern.

I could be wrong, but I believe that your "some baseball[-]themed game" is Big Hurt and your "one with some big display with [a] number in the middle of the playfield" is Lights, Camera, Action! (though it might also be Car Hop or Surf 'n Safari). As for the Premier that I would most like to...

I realize that I'm in the minority where ToM is concerned, but I still stand by my previous statements concerning the table, though I admit that the less-than-stellar physics on FarSight's early releases might have unfairly turned me against it. Either way, though, given my druthers, WCS94...

OK, let's recap our clues: 1) The villain I have in mind typically takes the form of an eye hovering in the air. 2) He has made three confirmed appearances in total. 3) In each of these, he possessed another character. 4) He hails from the Kirby series. 5) He is not Kracko. 6) His debut...

It is indeed the Kirby games, but Kracko isn't quite who I had in mind. Here's one more clue: the villain I have in mind debuted in a game released in 1995. Also, I'll admit that the turnout for this list hasn't been quite what I'd hoped. Part of it is my own fault (the delays on the last few...

This line of inquiry isn't working out, so let's try this angle instead: the villain I have in mind hails from a series known for appearing late in the life cycles of Nintendo systems.

1) That's all fine and well, but here's the issue: RBION was, IMO, way too complicated to be a starter table for TPA. I wouldn't have wanted TZ in the Core Pack, either, which is why I suggested the more straightforward Sterns that I did. As for table ratings, I place no faith in them...

That reminds me...wasn't POTO on the Premium Licensed poll last year? We never did get an explanation of why this was; have FarSight explained this since?
