PAF Top Ten Most Wanted Table Poll Series : #2 - Williams (Closed)

[Nightwing]

New Bowen Tutorial. It's for Banzai Run so I thought I'd post it here.

That video perfectly shows off why I love Banzai Run!

It is just out of the top ten as of the moment. Hopefully it can get a few more votes to get in.

Don't you mean Lolapalooza

Well,you could use Live Aid

Was hoping Grand Lizard got a few more votes. Played that table a few times at the Midwest Gaming Classic and really loved it. Not sure if the table was modded or not but the light show on it just blew me away....

I agree, people that have played Grand Lizard always seem to say they really liked it and the playfield does look very interesting.

Sad to see that High Speed is not amongst the leaders. Sure, The Getaway is there and deserves to be, but High Speed was so historic, so well-designed, and so fun. I guess people just need to see a DMD nowadays. Would love to see more love for High Speed, though.

Woodstock?

And here we have a good analogy of this poll, IMO. Many different generations of machines all put together; from System 4 to the WPC-95 controller. You can almost see the age split, of the machines, by the number of votes cast; with a few exceptions.

It might have been a fairer poll to group the williams machines by their system type, and allow for less picks per poll as there would have been less machines per poll.

ie 16 system 11B machines of which 3 are already in TPA and 1 isn't an Pinball Machine.

Any way to rearrange the poll to show most to least popular?

GOD DAMN!!!! Bram Stokers Dracula!!!, does that mean this table wont need to be KS to get into TPA??

My other 9 games:

Bad Cats
Black Knight 2000
Comet
Cyclone
Earthshaker
Fish Tales
Jack Bot
Red & Ted
Space Station

So will the top 10 games defiantly get made for TPA??

PAPA tournament game play of Dracula, brilliant table!!!!....

Am I just being simple?
I can't see how or where to vote

How would Banzai Run be done on the Pinball arcade anyways??...i guess the camera could pan up to the backglass when needed??

Probably the same way as cirqus Voltaire when you get the cannon sideshow.

Every Steve/Mark Ritchie one, plus Jack*Bot and Road Show. Easy.

If The Getaway gets in, I'd be forever in debt to FS.

I also want to try No Fear, but there might be some ancillary licenses.

 

[Clawhammer]

I have to admit that I just don't get Road Show. It's the one super popular pin I really dislike. I play it about once a month. I keep trying to like it but it just doesn't seem to be happening. Can someone please explain the love to me? What am I not getting here? Is it the Bob The Builder heads, the music, the rules? Help....

RS is pretty linear rule wise- get miles, start modes, go for super pay day and build your multipliers. There is almost no stackability (made up word!) as far as modes/multiball is concerned and if you are playing for points, timing out some of the modes is the best strategic choice, which isn't particularly interesting. The multiball is fun and there is some risk/reward getting there, but, my god, that horrible country song! Even with these criticisms, I still think its a really enjoyable game, but it does take a bit of getting used to and could have benefited from more complexity and variation to the rules. Its also been upstaged by Lawlor's other work, so if you go in expecting a TZ like experience, you may be disappointed. Still, I voted for it and think it would be a good addition to TPA.

You mean the cannon sideshow that frequently doesn't display in TPA?

 

[Clawhammer]

I think its safe to say HS2 and FT are coming to TPA, but the next two, BSD and RS, would be welcome, especially BSD. The next one after that is ES, which is a great game but pretty similar to WW. I knew two of my choices, Barracora and Blackout, were gonna tank- but I didn't know they would tank that hard!

He's one Bad Cat

People do favor the recent machines. Often, the soundtracks grate on my nerves. The love for Fish Tales surprises me a little. It's fun, but gets old really quick. I suppose many people don't play a given table that many times.

People like their toys, so I can see Red & Ted's doing well. Still, it is not particularly challenging, nor does it have much replay value. Frankly, it's kind of boring.

Sad to see High Speed not in the running. It has enough historic value to warrant being in the top ten alongside the sequel, Getaway. High Speed is certainly a fine table on its own.

Jack•Bot is not an all-time favorite for me, but completing the trilogy would be nice.

I'm happy with about half of the picks currently in the top ten. The rest, meh.

My biggest disappointment would have to be the lack of love for Bad Cats. That is a unique experience.

I have to agree, FT is just ok... fun, but not a game that I love. Rule set is very shallow and super jackpot scoring is unbalanced, in my opinion.

So uh how do I vote?

The poll is still open...what message are you seeing next to the number of voters on the upper right hand corner of the poll?
