A hat tip, Mr. Trillion. I am disheartened to hear that the leaderboard didn't take it. Maybe Johnny Mnenomic will allow 1T and you can get it then. I wonder what your 1.4T would've been with the original ROMs with the really unbalanced Total Annihilation scoring.

I would very much want the TPA version to show tokens getting kicked out of the backbox and rolling down the glass. I was lucky enough to have a local arcade install a SC back in 1996, and I got one token out of it and still have it somewhere, but the machine quickly ran out of tokens and they...

I'll take you up on that bet. Is $100 ok?

There are 20 more IPDB top 40 tables that are not in TPA. (Granted, many of them are Stern tables that have two or more versions listed.) All of these are licensed, and most have very serious licenses. The highest-ranking unlicensed tables are #42 Revenge From Mars and #44 Cyclone. So you...

I and some other people have done a fair bit of work to get a pretty good idea of whether the top scores are legit.

I don't think I've ever seen a Swords of Fury, and I haven't thought about it much. So I just checked it out on ipdb and it is beautiful, looks really interesting, and I want it. It seems more complex than other tables of that era? A little? And I love Doug Watson art. I wonder if the...

I think that saying that the price for a non-essential product "should" or should not be something is a communist notion. :)

Confirmed. I just played BK in Williams Challenge, and balls shot into the lock either passed through, or got stuck without registering as a lock (a nudge knocked these out), about 1/3 of the time. I didn't find it a really huge problem (and still got my 100.0 points).

Just to be clear, I am definitely not predicting that FS will make this particular machine. Just having a bit of fun. But, it seems that FS will be making some original table. What are your thoughts on that?

Someone ask Facebook Farsight if there's any chance of Total Recall, please :). I've had zero chance of contributing to any kickstarters so far, but I'd pay $10 for Total Recall. And more if they could make the head-to-head play work. (But before I get ahead of myself, I'd pay for tournaments...

This makes me kind of sad. Even though the top half looks like a flat-out copy of Black Knight, and the bottom half looks super dull, it is beautiful. Since Total Recall seems impossible to me, I suppose the non-produced license really is for an original table. And I've changed my tune on...

I understand "not produced" to mean a table that could have prototypes made. Which fits Krull and Goin' Nuts. And Total Recall. Krull sure is pretty.

Believe it or not, RCT is (or will be) a movie. http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Exclusive-Rollercoaster-Tycoon-Movie-Is-About-A-Theme-Park-Come-To-Life-18732.html http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1655434/

Wouldn't Farsight have all the rights to make Godzilla now?

At last, the mystery of how Farsight could do Dracula is solved! Here's a couple of table possibilities that I don't think I've seen mentioned. (Very impressive researching by the way.) Charlie's Angels (Gottlieb, 1978) is owned by Columbia. This, along with the already-mentioned Close...

But is "very few" appropriate? Here's a table of the number of Top 30, 100, and 500 scores made on each table from 2014-03-01 (+/- 3 days) to 2014-09-11. All of these scores are over 1B (the #500 score on 2014-02-25 was 1.03B). Table Top 30 Top 100 Top 500 TotAN 10 31 71 RBioN...

Ok, last batch, I promise. These seem to be best for comparing. I suppose they should've been first. But I just couldn't stop sharing! It will be fun to watch this. But it would be a lot more fun if there was any doubt that it would be funded. TAF is a little bit ahead of STTNG's...

Here are the last-ten-days widgets. Maybe they add value. There are more if you click over to the site, which is called kicktraq. (Or is that kiqtrack? kiqtraq? Buehler?) The speed appears to be TAF > TZ > STTNG >> T2. What fun. Can I get a HOO!?

I found these widgets that maybe you will like. The images are big, but that's ok, because they're also big fun. It looks like the TAF one might take a few days to become active. I'll put the last-10-days ones in another post. Here is what kiqtraq calls "Trend". Please use with...

Thanks for the info. Good insight. It's table ID 0 on the leaderboard webpage, btw. My data is a (mostly?) complete top 500 going back to Feb 2014 or Mar 2014, depending on table. I have at least one set for each 4-week interval, and a few more. Quick answer: yes, big TOTAN scores are still...
