Fire Queen duplicate playfield is Vulcan. I would love to play this one

Maybe we will get lucky and Farsight can release the EM table license for some one else to tackle (ask homework) as they have stated they will not be doing EM's. After all, the mission statement is about 'preserving pinball'. Someone else came up with this and posted a while back. Is it possible?

KISS has a digital display, which makes it a Solid State pinball machine.

Thanks! i always mess that up.

Regardless i still want it in TPA.

That would be great! Though part of me kinda likes ASK giving these obscure European tables their moment in the sun.

Anyone who likes EM's and isn't playing Zaccaria Pinball yet should jump on!

When did they state this? At the beginning of the season it was one EM per season. ??

Agree ^
The Zacc EMs have been some of the best ASK has done. They really hit a home run on them.
It would be super fantastic if they could swing a deal with Farsight to handle the EM recreations.

Granting Farsight exclusive rights to 100s if not 1000s of tables probably didn't matter 3 or 4 years ago when they were the only serious contender to make virtual recreations, but now it is total insanity. Hopefully when they renew the deal they will only being able to get rights to tables they can commit to over a three year period. That would be 36 tables, leaving 1000s of other tables for Ask to cherry pick.

I voted for Knock Out
Fireball
Royal Flush


How about Flip a Card?

Agreed. If Farsight hates pre 1980 tables and ASK is willing to make them, I hope something can be worked out. Even if ASK just sticks to European tables, I hope they find this niche worth exploring post Zacc.

I'd be curious to know if anyone from Farsight has played the Zaccaria Ems. I can't see them not seeing the allure of the gameplay. I stopped playing Addams Family for a bit cause every game was taking me 20-30 minutes. sometimes you want something quick and fun that doesn't have a million rules and OCD like steps and you can just play.

100% agree with you. I really wish FarSight would use a few of those EM licenses to give it the FS treatment though!

Im sorry I gathered this info reading this forum. When season 4 was upcoming, farsight said one EM for season 4 and one for 5. Then the pre-1980 poll Xenon won by a wide margin. They then said that poll was for the "EM" slot. Logic would have it, in a similar season 5 poll, Paragon will cruse to victory. It was just my opinion based on what Ive read. I would be really happy if Farsight did make an EM again tho.

Yes the European tables are very cool and totally new to someone like me. More would be great!

Yeah, truth be told if it was a choice between an EM and Paragon I would take the Paragon :/
I just want to play that table so bad...

 

[weirdproq]

The current top 5:

1. Fireball
2. Royal Flush
3. Spirit of 76
4. Centigrade 37
5. Space Mission

 

[tizzomr]

I think Gator (Bally 1969) deserves to be on any EM list, but thats just me.��

 

[PinballWizzard71]

Hard choice but Slick Chick, Fireball, and Knockout! The last one is especially cool with the boxing ring and the fighters that fall down as if being knocked out!

Hard to choose only 3 but I went with the following. PS! Really missing Jungle Queen from the list.

1. Spirit of 76 (classic)
2. Centigrade 37 (love the art)
3. Hokus Pokus (great spinners and cool art)

Bubblig just below the surface

4. Surf Champ (great game, only problem is that on this and a few others the spinner goes right into the bumpers. Not a fan of those)
5. Fast Draw (also great but similar to Spirit of 76)
6. Atlantis (also great but similar to Cen 37)

I could probably go on with more of them, like Abra Ca dabra, Royal Flush, Wizard, Royal Flush etc
