[QUOTE="Robert Hunt, post: 65035, member: 1600"] 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. [/QUOTE]
