For all the stumbles FarSight have made during TPA's tenure, their starter pack lineup has held up surprisingly well. However, I must have been the cat curiosity killed in a past life, as I can never leave these matters well enough alone, so what would you all have done differently for TPA's...

I can see we won't get anywhere along this line of inquiry, so try this new clue on for size: the villain I have in mind has possessed another character in all three of his appearances.

Not quite, Sean. Think of it this way: since the clue is 'I am the eye in the sky...', try to think of a Nintendo villain who has often taken an airborne form with a single eye.

Yes, it is Crazy Hand! I apologize for the long turnaround on this one, but I felt really drained these past few weeks. Anyway, what makes this second hand a first-rate Nintendo baddie? Keep reading to find a sinister clue: 13. Crazy Hand (Super Smash Bros. Melee) Developed By: HAL...

It seems I miscalibrated my clues again, so let me give it another shot: the game I have in mind featured Bowser, Ganondorf and Mewtwo.

After seeing this thread, I went and posted a question over on the Facebook page concerning the likelihood of a number of tables making it into TPA, both in Season 3 and overall. Here's the reply I received (though I'm not sure if this is overall probability or just Season 3): This is my...

Alright, I guess this clue wasn't as clear as I had initially believed, so here's a follow-up clue: the villain I have in mind comes from a sequel to a game that has already shown up in the rankings.

And Sean DonCarlos continues to run away with this list! Why does the Shadow Queen represent such an important juncture for Nintendo at the turn of the 21st century? The answers lie below: 14. The Shadow Queen (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door) Developed By: Intelligent Systems Published...

From what I read on FS's Facebook, it sounds like Apple objected to the way season passes are set up, as they recommend that such content be available immediately after purchase, whereas FS sold passes for Season 3 right form the beginning of the season. Why Apple only objected to this now is...

I'm really not trying to be vague with these clues, but the most obvious clue would be a little too obvious. Nevertheless, here's another clue: the game I have in mind was released for the GameCube and is part of a spinoff series.

I'll admit this clue is a little vague, so here's some more help: the game I have in mind is an RPG released in 2004.

That is indeed correct! I apologize for the long turnaround here, but I got really busy with holiday-related goings-on. Anyway, it's been a while since we last saw you in this thread, Kolchak; it's great to have you back! What makes Mr. Sandman such a pure distillation of what playing...

I must say that I really like the way you think, my friend! I second both this & Family Guy and would also like to introduce both Big Bang Bar & Flipper Football to the After Dark requests list (FF, in particular, is a spectacularly foul-mouthed game when the family settings are turned off).

That's fair enough, but I'm fairly confident that fast & good would win a straw poll over good & cheap, at least on these forums. Going to 1 table per month was, in my considered opinion, a mistake–it can logically only lead to a much narrower band of tables that FS can reasonably use and gives...

I did specify no licenses for my initial lineup, though; Meteor is based on the 1979 American International Pictures flop of the same name (I believe that the rights currently rest with MGM, in case you were wondering). Still, no likenesses or music would make it an absolute bagatelle to...

In light of the recent switch to 1 table per pack, many of us have grown worried about the future of numeric solid-state tables in TPA. However, I believe I have at least a partial solution—how about completing the PHOF trilogy with a Stern collection? Obviously, the lineup would center around...

You're definitely not alone on that one, brother–I'm carrying torches for, among other non-WMS decks, Breakshot, High Roller Casino (please, please, PLEASE be the January release), Lightning, Mystery Castle & Stargate. There's a reason that pinball has endured for so long–it's a lot more...

And Sean DonCarlos does it again! How did a massive gloved hand make it to the #16 spot on this list? It's partly a question of legacy, as we'll talk about below: 16. Master Hand (Super Smash Bros.) Developed By: HAL Laboratory Published By: Nintendo Platform: N64 Year of Release: 1999 In...

For starters, Black Knight 2000 has The King's Ransom, the very first wizard mode ever, so that alone makes it noteworthy enough for inclusion in TPA, at least in my own estimation. Also, the soundtrack stands as one of the 10 best in any pinball machine ever–take a listen for yourself: Just...

Wait, what? Captain Falcon's the hero of his series! He is probably better known for his appearances in another series these days, though–coincidentally, this is the same series from which the villain I have in mind hails...
