I would very much love to see all five of those tables, and I'd add the one my brother most wants to see, Red & Ted's Roadshow to the list as well. With respect to High Speed vs. High Speed II, while yes, I'd love both tables, if I could only have one, it would be the original. That's the...

I think that sounds right. With the length of some games, extra balls would have to be eliminated if the software of the table allows it.

Is it just me or is the butler in Who Dunnit a dead ringer for Tim Gunn?

It's true that if a table doesn't offer any opportunistic advantage from player to player like that (balls locked for multi-ball or letters lit in a sequence or whatever), then no advanatage can be taken for that table. And that's fine. But, if there is such an advantage, then it's fair game.

There's an interesting alternative tournament format I'd like to propose to FarSight. It wouldn't replace the current tournaments, but would provide an interesting new, additional alternative type of tournament. The new format is called The Quadrille. On a given table, to participate in a...

I'd eventually like to see both of them. But, actually, I'd rather see the first High Speed, mostly for nostalgic reasons. I used to play the original High Speed in the arcade back in the day. The Getaway came along later and is a fine table that I'd also enjoy, but my love of pinball was...

Hmm, hadn't heard that comment about Fish Tales. That could certainly change the calculus a bit. However, I thought Big Bang Bar was a table they wanted to do, but had some obstacle, (I'm fuzzy on what that was). Maybe whatever obstacle they had has been overcome.

You're right about that. I meant Centaur. Corrected in the original post. Thanks.

I've seen lots of speculation about upcoming tables in this or that monthly pack. I think it's pretty impossible to predict the tables down to a given month like that. I'm wondering about the rest of 2013 as a whole, irrespective of which shows up in what month or what is paired with what...

Would love it if FarSight could re-examine the contrast of the on/off states of many of the lights of Ripley's Believe It Or Not, particularly the Idol counting lights, the Shoot Again light, and all of the lights in front of the jackpot ramps, the shrunken head, and the penguin loop. I...

Well, I have to hand it to PinWiz on this poll. Great job on coming up with decent tables for this poll out of a large collection of meh. Honestly, I'd like to use all my votes here for more Williams tables. Gottlieb's golden age was the EM era. They just couldn't keep up when SS became the...

Ah, hadn't seen those master lists before. Thanks for pointing them out.

Device/OS: iPad 4 / iOS 6.1.3 Bug Description: After scoring one of the Deadhead rollovers in Scared Stiff, the kickhole very frequently kicks the ball back up to the Deadheads. This doesn't always happen, but it happens way more often than on a real table. It occurs often enough, that it's...

Device/OS: iPad 4 / iOS 6.1.3 Bug Description: Big Wheel reward on Bride Of Pinbot and Mirror Reward on Funhouse aren't displayed on HUD. HUD blacks out momentarily when those rewards would be displayed. When one of these is scored, the HUD seems to behave normally until the point that the...

Device/OS: iPad 4 / iOS 6.1.3 Bug Description: Top ("Grand Champion") local high score always advances to 4,000,000 more than the player's true high score on Whirlwind and Dr. Dude. Top score has initials "HHR". Steps To Reproduce: Beat the local high score on Whirlwind and Dr. Dude. The...

This was harder than I thought it would be. I'm much more into the older SS games rather than the license vehicles, but there were a lot of pretty good choices here. Part of what makes this poll harder is that how much you like the license can influence you just as much as the gameplay. I...

Well, more great tables in this poll, but I wish I could give up five of my votes here, and just apply them to five more tables in the Williams poll. Some of the new tables, (presumably after Bally and Williams merged) look fairly Williams-esque which I look upon favorably. I voted for: Black...

Sad to see that High Speed is not amongst the leaders. Sure, The Getaway is there and deserves to be, but High Speed was so historic, so well-designed, and so fun. I guess people just need to see a DMD nowadays. Would love to see more love for High Speed, though.

As monumentally difficult as it was to narrow down my choices amongst these to ten, the one Williams table that I think is one of the most underrated, and one that I'd have liked to see included is Riverboat Gambler. Maybe it's too "gambly" as another commenter described Jackbot, but I always...

By far the toughest poll. Wish I could give up some votes on the other polls, and apply them here. Williams 80's and early 90's pinball is just the best there is. My votes: Black Knight 2000 - such an amazing follow-up to the original, and yes, the soundtrack makes for quite the earworm...
