PAF Top Ten Most Wanted Table Poll Series : #6 - Stern/Data East/Sega (Closed)

[KoSLoW]

i missed this list but like "sotie" said it's not Farsight list so i'm not worried.
(((((stupid is not an insult stay cool guys))))))

Just keep in mind that the results of these polls will be sent directly to Bobby King (Vice President/Lead Designer at FarSight Studios) for consideration, so I hope everyone that wanted to has taken advantage of this opportunity.

Just a little off topic but Koslow's post didn't seem bad at all, just a few mistranslation problems made the tone seem a little more aggressive than I figured he meant.

I'm always happy to see new guys come in and voice their opinions, even if their first language isn't English. All we gotta do is be nice and explain why such tables aren't on the poll and everybody's happy, I can see a good few people caught out by the Premium polls (or what Premium means) so there's always going to be a few minor differences.

But in short, some games are impossible, some require big licences, some have already been in the polls, and some are just not that notable enough to get into the polls, but as long as you vote for your favourites in the polls it increases their chances of going in.

It's true we don't have the same signification of words.. like "stupid" in france we say that for lot of things and that's not bad at all. If anyone is chocked by my post i'm just sorry.

For license yes i know we will don't see big license but i think the most requested game can be founded by kickstarter.

Exemple i love last action hero.. farsight will prefer kickstarter for indy williams.. don't you think ?

I'm afraid you've just missed your chance to vote for Indiana Jones or Last Action Hero, as the poll has already been done (http://digitalpinballfans.com/showt...Table-Poll-Series-4-Premium-Licensed-(Closed)) that was a poll to vote which tables we'd like to see a kickstarter for. However from what I remember Indiana Jones was doing very well and could be the next Kickstarter they do (or after The Addams Family)

 

[twinturbo2]

Voted for NASCAR, I'd kickstart that one if need be. And Viper Night Drivin', that one looks neat.

Here's the thing. Your English is so good, that it didn't read like a mistranslation. So good on you. Believe me, I ain't never going to attempt French.

 

[DaPinballWizard]

I voted for NASCAR too. Voted for Indy 500 in one of the others and that one received no love. Not a race car fan, but those tables are fun.

 

[tyche]

Some good tables but I only voted for Monopoly because I want it!

 

[androidlove]

Wow, most of these tables don't appeal to me. I've been to a few arcades, truck stops, laundromats, and bars, and I don't remember seeing most of these. The only 2 I remember are Time Machine and Laser War. They look like the most fun out of them all. That's probably why I was more likely to see them, as they were displayed more often.

Time Machine is a table I'd pay stupid money for.

 

[Wizened]

Seawitch, Meteor, Big Game, Nineball.
Knew them all intimately from my friendship with Mike Kubin (designer of Seawitch).

Why was Data East Starwars a choice but Sega Star Wars Trilogy never made a poll?

I was just checking it out and I think it looks like a better Star Wars game for the arcade. Better music and art than the Data East board.

That is a darn good question. For that matter. What about that rare Empire Strikes Back table?

 

[LurkerCreep]

Here're my votes (even though it seems a good portion of my votes are in the minority... as usual):

Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle
Galaxy
Lightning
Meteor
Seawitch
Sharkey's Shootout
Star Gazer
Tales from the Crypt
Time Machine (I actually played this on before and was pleasantly surprised... VERY pleasantly surprised. Great game!!!)
Viper

My close runners up are:

Freefall
Laser War
Trident

My guess is that the new software was judged to make DE Star Wars more appealing than Star Wars Trilogy; however, I do agree with you that SWT should have at least been given a chance in the Premium Licensed poll.

 

[tizzomr]

I voted for 10, but Monopoly if it's feasable licensing wise, is hands above the rest, IMHO, It's extremely challenging, unique, and who doesn't like Monopoly???

 

[Nightwing]

That is probably the clearest top 10 in these pools so far. You have two pins tops maybe able to take over the 10 spot. Everything else is pretty cut and dry...

 

[Rudy]

The poll today shows exactly why you should vote for ONLY the ones you want, anyone assuming Seawitch was a done deal so they had 10 more to choose from are lucky that Seawitch is even competing in the top 10.

 

[vpalmer]

it looks like many people vote for famous brands and series instead of pinball.
other way i dont now know how Viper Night Drivin' got more than 2 times of votes than Viper with such interesting field and cool k. parkinson's art.

Interesting point Rudy. What would these polls look like if we only voted for 5 or even 3 pins? Could be drastically different.
