Newsletter #13 riddle for April release

[Gord Lacey]

That's the thing... we don't know, because we don't have them to play yet.

"Into the Darkness"... simple... Alien Poker, since Aliens abduct you and take you into the darkness. And then they blast off, to another galaxy to play poker.

Opposite of Space... Future Spa. Because "space" is infinite and vast but a spa is only big enough for a small group of people, from the future.

Sorry old joke is old.

 

[gooche77]

Sorry. I'm a stinker.

You got to be kidding. >.>

I'm not on Twitter, real men don't Tweet u know..
Is Future Spa one of the April tables???

 

[Kolchak357]

That would be a shocker. Strange theme, but a pretty neat table layout. I'd welcome it.

Can I borrow your crucifix?

Come on Night, it's not that bad. Yes, the theme is pretty awful, but check out the play. There are much worse. You know you would buy it.

Mmmm.. the ball seems to like the left ramps. Hey, perhaps it's nice, but I'm looking forward to Space Shuttle, I believe that one is almost certain.. so either way, it's part of the deal.
Now it all boils down to graphics, if it looks like CC I refuse to buy it. I know, but that's me.

The way I see it, including Future Spa in TPA would be a slap to Dave Christensen, especially if it came before titles such as Mata Hari, Wizard, or Capt. Fantastic (a license I expect would prove easier to get than many might expect - no music, and Elton John would probably be all for it.) For one thing, the theme of Future Spa was chosen by corporate types to help sell Bally Health Spas. It's one thing to assign a PINBALL THEME to one of the all-time great pinball artists, or even a licensed theme, but it's quite another to ask him to do an advertisement for some other subsidiary of a conglomerate. And then to make matters worse, Paul Faris poached his backglass! So the table winds up being a hodge-podge of two wildly different art styles that sold less than any other Bally from the period. It's not that Christensen didn't do great work on the playfield; he did. But it's hardly his best work, and TPA can do much better by Christensen and by us.

But of COURSE I would buy it.

Space Shuttle isn't "almost" certain. It was confirmed by FarSight at the MGC.

 

[shimoda]

Anything cramped? That would be the opposite of space.

Good! I am a sucker for space themes.

 

[Heretic]

hehe agreed

but non nazi,

whats the biggest flaw with the table in less than 200 words

 

[Kolchak357]

I'm guessing night's issue is artwork. To be specific the bright yellow woman in the center of the table. Am I right?


PS - I'm also looking forward to Space Shuttle.
