Exactly! The EM era is when Gottlieb was head-and-shoulders above everyone else. I'm all for getting a number of Gottlieb EM's added. In the later eras, not so much.
I think it's going to be Tales From The Crypt, and there will only be one Halloween table this year. Yes, I know people saw phantom references to Frankenstein. Meh. Maybe. We've seen phantom references like that before that didn't amount to anything. Anyone for Aces High?
I'm guessing we'll just see one this Halloween (Tales Of The Crypt would be my guess). I think we're starting to run low on good-quality horror-themed tables for Halloween, so I wouldn't be surprised if the two table thing peters out this year.
Actually, I think Flash would fit in perfectly in Season 5. It's another older table that a lot of folks will remember. I wouldn't be too surprised to see it.
In addition to the seven tables I voted for (High Speed II: The Getaway, Eight Ball Deluxe, Mousin' Around, F-14 Tomcat, Banzai Run, The Simpsons' Pinball Party, and Paragon), I think we'll see Tales From The Crypt, Rollergames, and Flash.
I wanted to say Space Station, but I'm not too confident about that. I'm trying to find a way to interpret this as F-14 Tomcat, but I'm not seeing a way. :)
Well, I must be way down on their email server's list because I ALWAYS see the hint in these fora before I get the newsletter in my email box. Seriously, every time.
Actually, being a data wonk, I'd love to see each percentile score (1st through 99th) of each table (as well as the mean), updated weekly and made available in the app. That would be great for figuring out challenges to play for. For example, pick ten tables at random. Can you score better...
I wouldn't be shocked if we didn't see a Gottlieb this season. A lot of the Gottlieb's they'd have chosen got made while they were still renogotiating with Williams. Honestly, most of Gottlieb's best tables when compared with other tables made at the same time are back in the...
My guess at the last two tables of Season 4 and the ten tables of Season 5 in no particular order:
Red & Ted's Roadshow (now presumed for Table Pack #39 based on table hint)
F-14 Tomcat
High Speed II: The Getaway
Eight Ball Deluxe
Paragon
Banzai Run
The Simpsons Pinball Party (via Kickstarter)...
I'd most want:
1. F-14 Tomcat
2. Riverboat Gambler
3. Jokerz!
Though, I've also heard good things about Banzai Run, Mousin' Around, Bad Cats and Rollergames, so I'd welcome them, too.
The choice of "horror" themed tables is getting a bit meager. After so many years of releasing two horror-themed tables every Halloween. I think it's time to put that policy to sleep.
Voted for:
- Red & Ted's Roadshow
- F-14 Tomcat
- The Simpsons Pinball Party
- Riverboat Gambler
- The Getaway: High Speed 2
- Seawitch
- Hurricane
- Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure
- Apollo 13
- Lord Of The Rings
If they'd been on the list:
- replace Seawitch with Paragon...
