7 that I'd want to own would be a boring list. They would all be EMs. So I tried to come up with a more interesting list. I also have the reason why I don't think we will see each one.

Indiana Jones - license
Kingpin (Capcom) - rare
Dirty Harry - license
Godzilla - license
Surf Champ - we don't see many EMs, so what are the odds?
Star Wars (Data East) - license
X-Files - license and not a popular pin

World Cup Soccer (Bally) - Such a fun game but license nightmare
Solar Fire (Williams) - Love this Black Knight clone and I don't like Black Knight.
Defender (Williams) - Was at the Chicago pinball Expo one year and loved it
Laser War (Data East) - Simple rules but so much fun. Maybe has a slight chance for SPA but it seems not many people like the game for some reason.
Fireball II (Bally) - The manual ball safe kicker really helps make this one a lot of fun to play
Af-Tor (Wilco) - Very unforgiving but a lot of fun to play once you get on a roll. And the pop bumpers in this one are amazing
Torpedo Alley (Data East) - This is along the same lines as Laser War. Simple rules but a lot of fun to play and a bit of a challenge to get some of the colors. Great sounds on this one.

Edit: Had to remove Tron for the list since it's post 2000. Added Torpedo Alley.

Revenge from Mars - the most forgotten Williams title around here, but the Pinball 2000 tech isn't worth implementing for only one game
Space Jam - the most underrated Sega, with multiple problematic licenses (although it seems to be only Warner and Jordan, not any other players or the NBA)

Those are the two that stand out in particular for me, so here's a bunch of licensing problems to fill out the seven:

Indiana Jones
Tommy
The Shadow
Johnny Mnemonic
NBA Fastbreak

I think Farsight should take a look at our choices. If there's at least one on here they are planning on doing, they should chime and say "ha, ha!"

Make for some good speculation

G 'N R -- The table happened mainly due to Slash. He's a serious pinhead. But, dealing with Axl on anything -- ick.

WWF Royal Rumble -- Ultimate license nightmare. Most of the wrestlers in it are dead.

Evel Knievel -- Actually, this one shouldn't be too bad.

Playboy -- Why not?

Rocky -- Good nostalgia table.

Krull -- release was either very limited or did not get past prototype. Loved the video game Gottlieb did for this.

Space Invaders -- Already discussed.

Batman (Data East)
X-Files (Sega)
WWF Royal Rumble (Data East)
Independence Day (Sega)
Jurassic Park (Data East)
Indiana Jones (WMS)
World Cup Soccer (Bally)

Just played WWF Royal Rumble, it's pretty awesome.
