That's the one! Pokemon took a while to arrive on the list, but it certainly arrived in style! What makes Cyrus a worthy successor to the classic villains who came before him? Read on to find out: 17. Cyrus (Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum) Developed By: Game Freak Published By: Nintendo, The...

Are you being entirely fair here? After all, Seawitch took 9th place in the Stern/Data East/Sega poll, while Catacomb managed a respectable 14th place. Even if you want to restrict the conversation to DMDs, though, High Roller Casino took 5th place, despite not having any licenses, while...

You'd think I'd learn to stop using song-based clues, but I apparently have a very steep learning curve. Anyway, bear in mind who sang Achy Breaky Heart; the answer should be obvious at the end of it all.

Zoda is indeed the answer I was looking for! Could StarTropics finally get a long-awaited third entry? I wouldn't count on it, but the two we did get are great! Keep reading to find out why: 18. Zoda (StarTropics) Developed & Published By: Nintendo Platform: NES Year of Release: 1990 The IP...

I think it's pretty clear that Fish Tales will be coming in Table Pack #21, but they may be trying to throw us a curveball for the second table. Consider the text at the top of the clue–"From the producers of Driving Miss Elvira and Squirrels in Space". The first clue points us towards a...

I've been thinking about what has people so on edge and here's what I came up with: FarSight REALLY muffed the announcement of their issues with WMS, mainly by having it be so late in the game. If we had know about this back in September, I can guarantee that you wouldn't have nearly the level...

I wonder the same thing myself. The conclusion I tend to come to is that The Getaway sets itself apart from its predecessor while still remaining reasonably close to its inspiration, whereas Jack*Bot's lack of obvious ways to set itself apart from Pin*Bot without playing it leads many people to...

I was going to ask something in the same vein. If FS aren't able to work things out with WMS by December, I'd love to see a double Stern pack (*cough* High Roller Casino *cough* Lightning *cough*). For that matter, why not start dipping into the classic Sterns the next time a licensing snafu...

I was able to open the ruleset, but only after I logged out.

It's StarTropics, all right, but Peter the Parrot isn't quite who I had in mind. I'm sure you know who I have in mind, though—he captured the last children of an alien race in a crystal and his name appears in the title of the sequel...

My apologies for the delay—I've had a lot of things keeping me busy lately. Also, TY for the thread bump. Anyway, Majora's Mask was indeed the answer I was looking for! What secrets does this sinister disguise keep? Read below for the answers: 19. Majora's Mask (The Legend of Zelda...

Actually, Goin' Nuts is a solid-state table; the reason it doesn't show up is that there are only about 10 or so prototypes of it made (though that didn't stop Kingpin).

Also, bear in mind that if SFII was likely to need a Kickstarter, it would have ended up in the Premium Licensed poll during the Top Ten Table Polls, rather than the Gottlieb/Premier poll (both Freddy & Stargate were in the Premium Licensed poll, with neither one making the top 10, to my chagrin).

I think Bride 1.0 is actually a WPC...

It's very simple, sir–you get your Williams when I get my Stargate...

I...think the answer is D...?

I'm almost positive the answer is C (that center ramp is the bane of my existence on any AFM whose mechanics I haven't gotten into my fingers yet).

The answer is FunHouse (though I've never managed the Quick Multiball - Midnight Multiball stack).

Ah, good point, SpiffyBob! I just got a bit frightened by the $8800 listing for a Safe Cracker I saw on Mister Pinball and forgot that CCs routinely go for a good $3-4K more than that...

Ooh, I love these sorts of topics! Here are a few table packs I think would make for great additions to TPA: - Gamer's Delight (Defender & Street Fighter II): Video game and pinball have a tumultuous history, but with most solid-state manufacturers having some form of video game pedigree...
