...There's also a 1976 EM table I'd like to see: Gottlieb's Royal Flush (I was just reminded of it by the IPDB rankings). I know it from an old PC simulation, or specifically from the Classic Mac OS port that the author released as shareware after the commercial project fell through. Sadly, it...
I'd like to see Bally's Space Invaders, but I'd guess it's impossible, since the game itself was the subject of a rights lawsuit (the art is an incredibly blatant ripoff of H. R. Giger's designs from Alien).
I've become fond of Lord of the Rings for an unreasonable reason: just because it's one of the few tables at the Canobie Lake arcade that is not too broken to play (though one of the flippers is getting droopy).

I have seen the ball get lost somehow on Ripley's...
From the old electromechanical games I've played, I get the impression that most of the tables of the EM era tended to be real drain monsters by modern standards. The expectations engendered by that carried over to the early solid-state era, and you can see it in games like Gorgar and Black...
I haven't seen this one posted already: on the Sidekick 4G, when the phone is in landscape orientation, the table menus scroll vertically, and scrolling seems to interfere with actually selecting items when the menu is scrolled to somewhere other than the top position. Attempting to press any...
