I don't know this for a fact, but my assumption is that since Space Invaders is on the Bally poll and not the Premium poll, it's within FarSight's means to do without a Kickstarter. If you could confirm or deny this, PiN WiZ, I'd be much obliged...

I'll see your Jive Time & Orbitor-1 and raise you a Bugs Bunny's Birthday Ball & Hercules...

It's Metroid, all right, but not Mother Brain. Think of who the final boss was at the end of the second game in the series and you will have your answer.

The 'second Western' clue actually technically still applies, now that I think on it. Star Fox 64 still isn't the right game, though. Here's a second follow-up to the new clue: the protagonist of the series was one of the first high-profile female video game protagonists.

Hang on just a sec—I completely botched who I had next, so I'll go and change the clue to refer to the proper #24 Nintendo villain. Meanwhile, here's a follow-up to the new clue: the last release in the series the next villain hails from was released in 2010.

No, that's not quite right. Here's another clue: the game I have in mind was the second in its series to see an official Western release.

I've been trying to decide how I feel about this Kickstarter for a while. After pondering for a bit, here's what I came up with: I fully intend to back the Kickstarter for at least $20 (more if I can figure out other platforms than Mac and XBox 360 that I might want the table for, since I...

It is indeed Frank Jr.! How did an arm-wrestling Frankenstein's monster claim the title of #25 Nintendo villain? Set your arm down on the arm wrestling table to find out: 25. Frank Jr. (Arm Wrestling) Developed & Published By: Nintendo Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1985 Few video game...

That's fairly close, but not quite right. Remember that I said "a side entry in the Punch-Out! series", so it wouldn't be a game with Punch-Out! in its title, but rather a somewhat separate game with some links to the Punch-Out! series. Here's another clue to think on: the game I have in mind...

Let me clarify this clue, since it may be hard to imagine a Nintendo game not being on a Nintendo system: what kinds of games did Nintendo bring to the West before the NES made its way stateside? Also, here's an additional clue: the game I have in mind is a side entry in the Punch-Out! series.

You're very much on the right track with the Frankenstein's monster lead. I'll give you a very big follow-up hint: the game I have in mind was never ported to any Nintendo console or handheld.

It is indeed Wario! Wario may have gone relatively soft since his debut, but he still has villainous qualities aplenty, as we shall soon see: H3. Wario (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins) Developed & Published By: Nintendo Platform: Game Boy Year of Release: 1992 The Mario franchise has...

I thought this one would be right over the plate for you guys, but I guess I miscalculated, so here's another hint: the antagonist I have in mind is a Mario villain (no, it isn't Bowser). Also, would you guys like me to split up the Nintendo Handheld All-Stars into multiple posts? I added a...

This is an interesting set of lists, but I'd like to hear a little more about what went into them so we can have a discussion. Would you like to let us know how you decided on the 60 tables in your 6 lists? How do they compare to each other across lists? What about consensus top 10 picks for...

Actually, I think that FS are planning on releasing T2 in September if everything goes according to plan. That said, any of the tables you named would be most welcome, especially F-14 Tomcat.

#1 is right on the money; #5 is...not. Since you seem to have a yen for old-school PC games, I'll make you a deal: if you score either 20 points on this list or the single highest amount of points across this and the next list, I'll make list #4 The Top 25 Pre-1991 Western PC Game Villains...

What about Class of 1812, Freddy and Stargate? Those are all tables I've heard at least moderately good things about. In particular, Stargate's most ardent defenders have said that only the fact that Stargate is a Gottlieb table keeps it out of the consensus top 10. Given what I've seen of...

That's correct! Do you care to take a crack at any of the other six? If not, I'll probably have posted the next entry by late afternoon.

OK, you guys do understand that each clue out of the set of seven is referring to a different antagonist, right? With that in mind, here's a third batch of clues: 1) This antagonist allies herself with the protagonist of the series when he faces off with the Black Jewel. 2) The game I have in...

Perhaps an all-star honorable mention entry wasn't quite the stroke of genius that I thought it would be. Allow me to reiterate that you only need to correctly guess one out of seven to get this one right, but if you have more than one correct guess, each subsequent correct guess will be worth...
