Louigi7500, welcome to the forum!

Now,as to your post...

I don't know that Lawlor is the best designer of all time - but he's certainly up there,as well as my favorite!

As to your tables -

Safecracker & Rollercoaster Tycoon are both highly requested pinball tables for TPA. Chances are one or both eventually make their way in.

Almost requested as much is Monopoly - and Banzai Run has some avid fans here on the forum (like myself). Monopoly could make it in - & so could BR if FS can make the upper playfield work properly.

For the rest of your list:

Family Guy is highly requested - but, (a) it would probably require a hefty Kickstarter to license - and (b) because of the adult themes of the game would not be suitable for TPA inclusion. Farsight is working on a similar app called Pinball After Dark - which will be basicially TPA - but with more "mature" themed pinball tables.

Shrek isn't as highly requested - & also carries a big license,so the chances of that happening are slim.

Wizard Blocks - You've played it? Or are you saying its a favorite of yours because its a Lawlor table? Regardless - it isn't a finished table - and since its one of the Pinball 2000 games - as of now they can't be emulated on the TPA platform.

-Banzai Run (Maybe one day, but I don't see it happening anytime soon.)
-Safecracker (I think this one is a safe bet for next season, if not, no later than Season 5)
-Wizard Blocks (Never gonna happen)

-Monopoly (I'd love to see it, but it will be costly)
-Rollercoaster Tycoon (Another I'd love to see, but again, costly)
-Family Guy (Kickstarter table, good luck ever seeing this one make it)
-Shrek (Kickstarter table, good luck ever seeing this one make it)

I have a hard time believing RCT's license is that much more than non-kickstarted licensed tables like Harley-Davidson, the Elvira Tables, Ripley's, CFTBL, Monster Bash...

It depends on who owns the license. The HRC license was pretty popular.

I think RCT is an Atari property, so with their recent...issues, they probably won't charge too much for it.

The last I knew, it was up for sale.

Which one would come first ?
Cyclone or RCT ?

Given Atari's mismanagement in the past 20 years or so, that doesn't surprise me at all. That only leaves one question: how much will the new owners want for the license?

Cyclone.

It's a non license and much easier to acquire.

You can already bet on it being pretty pricey. The RCT brand is pretty popular and well known around the world.

Hope we see Monopoly
Looks like a fun table

Do you think we will still get BSD for Table 30
Listening to the twitch I have my doubts now

It is, my local arcade has one.

However, it is very, VERY hard. It's probably the most challenging table I've ever played in real life.

Really? The one I played was very forgiving. You got a nice long game on it. Funny how individual tuning can affect gameplay so much.

As for Wizard Blocks - was that even finished? I know there was only whitewood.

Yep, I'm no pinball wizard, but I can hold my own, and this table just kills me.

It's funny, cause I'll watch random people play it, and they only get about a minute or two of gameplay. lol
