I'd Buy That Table - An Unofficial Poll

[dtown8532]

Man, so many great tables that aren't on this list, specifically System 11 stuff (F-14, Bad Cats, Grand Lizard, Big Guns, Police Force, and Riverboat Gambler would have gotten votes from me). I wish the polls were separate for Williams and Bally, but oh well.

I also lament the lack of System 11's and early 80's Ballys like Fathom and EBD. This last table pack showed just how well those tables can turn out.

 

[dtown8532]

Yeah, I think Farsight already said it wouldn't happen or something to that effect. Dangle that carrot though!

I honestly don't understand why this table couldn't happen. Is it just the licensing fee is too high, or is there a party that is unwilling to license this out? If that's the case I wonder if they realize people will just continue to play it for free on VPin?
At least with TPA they would be getting compensated for it.

How about a poll for Data East & Stern/Sega next?

I still want to get a vote in for The Simpsons tables. I would take those over AF. We certainly have enough monster/macabre tables with Monster bash, and the Elvira tables, but we don't have a fun cartoon themed table yet.

I posted a bunch of polls for WPC, System 11's, DE, new Stern and early 80's Bally's last summer. They're probably buried in the "unreleased..." section of the forum somewhere.

What about the TERMINATOR Pinball ?

I demand EBD or I shall begin mooing uncontrollably!

 

[kane11]

What about Dirty Harry?

 

[BeO]

We need more Doctor Who! EXTERMINATE!

It looks like FS could easily keep TPA growing for at least another 2 years, and I'll be there every step of the way.

Wish there was an easy way to sort the results by number of votes.

No surprise Addams Family is leading, and I'm happy Indy Jones is in the #2 spot... it looks like a fun table and I've played the real-life version (quite poorly) a couple times.

While I do appreciate licensed tables, particularly ones where the theme is a show or movie I like, I honestly like non-licensed tables better overall. Most of my favorites are non-licensed because a lot more creative freedom can go into their design. (Games like FunHouse, the Pin*Bot series, and TotAN are among my all-time favorites.)

Brian Eddy's "The Shadow" would be great.....

Anyone for Peking duck?

 

[Kemetman72]

Yes I too like Diner. Actually I have played all these on VP and would love for them ALL to come to TPA.

Don't forget Junk Yard !

So yeah...I'm "new" to the forum as I just signed up to vote, but i have been on here for along time reading what ya'all are writing and I have been playing TPA since it launched on XBOX and Android.

I have ONE question though, beings TAF is my FAVORITE Pin of all time....Of course I would hope TPA would realize just HOW MUCH money people were willing to fork out for the chance for this pin to be immortalized on a gaming platform.

Has TPA actually said they will not make it???

If they wanted $500,000 for a Kickstarter for TAF...and they gave it enough time...I bet they would actually hit it.

Get the actual numbers, find out what this "unreachable" number is and give the fan's a chance to get there. It's at least worth a shot!!!

I think Bobby said in one of his interviews that Paramount would not give them a $ figure. I think Paramount might have not even answered FarSight's inquiry.

Kind of hard to get anywhere if the license holder won't even return your calls!

 

[pezpunk]

i wonder if disney (i assume they own the indiana jones stuff now?) are any more cooperative.

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

I wonder if TAF wasnt the most produced table would it still be as popular?

 

[Gord Lacey]

Very good question, SKILL_SHOT. It's likely that everyone wants it because they had a chance to play it at one time or another (and because it's a good table).

 

[Warraxxe]

You forgot Monopoly

 

[spoonman]

The chance of TAF ever being made is slim to none. Not only is the licensing for that table going to be extremely tough to acquire in a general and absurdly difficult in a monetary sense, but Raul Julia's estate has refused any and all licensing of his likeness since his death in 1994. I wouldn't count on seeing TAF in a legit digital format ever.

I blame Street Fighter The Movie for this.
