Indeed I have. I'd like to take a moment to thank you for that particular pack idea. For that matter, I actually might go and post there myself tomorrow...
In honor of Flight 2000's recent arrival, I've decided to take a look back at this poll to try and analyze why the poll shook out the way it did and how & if I expect the tables to arrive in TPA. We'll go from worst to first, with a special feature waiting for us at the end, so here we go!
8)...
Not this early in the list, my friend! I'll admit these hints are somewhat vague, so I'll try and make this third one a bit clearer: the series I have in mind started on the Famicom in 1990.
I had a tough time coming up with a good clue for this next one, so here's another hint: this character actually has two canonical in-game personalities.
I was actually wondering the exact same thing. I just checked Phantom of the Opera's (the novel's) copyright status on Public Domain Sherpa and it returned a result of "in the public domain," so I'm not sure why Phantom of the Opera would be in the Premium Licensed poll instead of the...
I'm glad that doing all the Systems 11 decks has at least one vote of confidence! The only question is...which ones should we do first? I vote for Black Knight 2000, F-14 Tomcat, Banzai Run, Big Guns & Swords of Fury, in that order, for the next five System 11 tables. What's your System 11...
You may be right, but having the iPad vibrate could make up for at least some of that, as could making the controls be free-moving. That said, even the physical Hyperball seems to draw a lot of heat–it averages a 6.276 on Pinside and a 6.9 on IPDB. At the very least, Hyperball is a sign of...
TPA's been on a roll recently, with emulation quality improving and some fantastic choices for new tables (go, Centaur, go!). Still, we have a ways to go before FarSight can consider the work of preserving pinball done, but resources are tight and we may only be getting 3 more seasons, so doing...
And Sumez gets it in one! How did this terror of the deep use his limited technical capacity to such great effect? Dive below for the answer:
22. The Octopus (Octopus)
Developed & Published By: Nintendo
Platform: Game & Watch Widescreen (OC-22)
Year of Release: 1981
Few companies made as...
Actually, I don't think Ultima II ever appeared on a Nintendo platform. Exodus, Quest of the Avatar and Warriors of Destiny all received NES ports, while The False Prophet was ported to the Super NES, which also received the two Runes of Virtue titles. Anyway, I ought to have expected some...
I actually meant to say Rolling Shield, not Rolling Cutter. Either way, though, the not-so-good doctor is a Capcom-owned character, despite Mega Man's announcement for SSB4 (though I do think Nintendo would treat him better than Capcom have these past few years). Here's a follow-up on the...
Thanks for the assist, Sean! I had started to fear that I'd have to simply move on without a correct guess. In any event, how did the alien overlord of Sarasaland take the #23 spot? Enquire within and all will be revealed:
23. Tatanga (Super Mario Land)
Developed & Published By: Nintendo...
What is it with me and #23 being my unlucky number (I had similar struggles with Flotsam in the last list)? Here's a big clue for you guys: the franchise the correct game hails from had its license applied to two pinball machines in 1992.
Is that your final answer? I'd certainly say yes to a Stargate/Lights, Camera, Action! double bill and Street Fighter II/Operation: Thunder wouldn't be too shabby, either.
Has it really been four months since I last updated this? Anyhow, we now turn our attention to the powerhouse conference that is Golden Engine:
Golden Engine (New Stern):
AC/DC
Batman (The Dark Knight)
Elvis
Family Guy
Iron Man
Lord of the Rings
Metallica
Monopoly
Pirates of the Caribbean...
OK, I'll admit this clue could have been a bit clearer–what Nintendo game involves both Italians and space aliens? If you still need more help, then know that the villain I had in mind was degraded to a world boss in his game's sequel.
I was wondering when this thread would start up! Anyway, I have a few ideas on what Table Pack #17 could be. Tee'd Off seems very likely for the re-release table, but the new table is much more up in the air. Given my druthers, I'd put one of the roller coaster trilogy in as the new table...
That's the way! How did this terrible titaness take the #24 spot on this countdown? Read on to find out:
24. The Queen Metroid (Metroid II: The Return of Samus)
Developed & Published By: Nintendo
Platform: Game Boy
Year of Release: 1991
Metroid is currently in a strange position in...
