Rescue 911

[David Pannozzo]

I really want this Pinball table badly, ASAP. So I need to know how many people want Rescue 911, I was talking to Bobby King and he said it's not popular enough to put this game on The Pinball Arcade. He said it could happen way down the road or may not happen at all, if we get more requests for it, then it might happen sooner or later. So if you want to see this Awesome Gottlieb/Premier game post on this thread please, here's a good video of this game playing, love the Helicopter and Sirens. http://youtu.be/Ey9fv2Yqdtw

Is it ok to post if we don't want it?

 

[TNT]

I have never played it but it certainly looks fun.

I was talking to Bobby King and he said it's not popular enough to put this game on The Pinball Arcade.

I am a little surprised he said that. Granted this isn't a huge sample size but it seemed to fare pretty well in this poll. And everything above it, with the exception of Street Fighter II, made it into TPA.

It does well on the IPDB rankings too, at #99.

EDIT: It does much worse on Pinside's rankings, way way down at #260. (But Tee'd Off is #261, Harley Davidson (1999) is #268 and #297, and Victory is #284, so there's precedent.)

But certainly Stargate would be the top choice for a Gottlieb licensed table. And there's still Wipe Out, Gladiators, and World Challenge Soccer as unlicensed Gottlieb DMD tables.

I wouldn't be too shocked if there were no more Gottliebs at all though... in Season 5 or Season 6. I like Gottliebs better than I used to, but because of that Season 2 run (it's still hard to believe Farsight released six Gottliebs in a row!), they're still probably a little bit over-represented (among solid states) in TPA in terms of quality and importance.

I'd prefer Stargate before Rescue 911.

 

[Zaphod77]

Yeah. rescue 911 has pretty bad exploits in it, and very unbalanced scoring.

 

[Kolchak357]

I'd prefer Stargate before Rescue 911.

I feel the same way. But I'd still like to see 911 if they don't hit a roadblock with the license.

Both will be made because Bobby told me they will both are going to be made.

I got to play a rescue 911 and it didn't grab me - so not a good first impression but I'm sure it could grow on me. Now TX-sector - that is a really cool game with amazing sounds, breaks away from that gotlieb funkiness.

 

[Reagan Dow]

I'm all for it David!

 

[Kratos3]

They didn't know when or if they'd do High Speed a month or two before it arrived on TPA either. Just sayin.....

Please don't toy with us. Some of us are very emotionally fragile when it comes to future tables in TPA.

 

[David Pannozzo]

Ok Dedpop, I'm with you Stargate first then Rescue 911. I also wouldn't mind seeing WaterWorld, I got to play the real thing at a Pinball show called freeplayflorida.com in Orlando, same with Stargate. Rescue 911 I played quite a bit in a Pool Hall not far from me, I went their 3 times a week just to play that game, now I can't find one and my computer can't handle Visual Pinball so I'm **** out of luck.

 

[Zaphod77]

I expect that rescue 911 will be rolled within a week of release by using the standard multiball. with the help of the insta-catch (tm) flippers.

 

[EldarOfSuburbia]

Can't remember if I've played R911, but I only hear good-ish things about it.

However of the remaining DMD Premiers, licensed or not, Stargate certainly gets my vote.

Not before Surf'N'Safari, though.

 

[Espy]

I'd imagine whenever Farsight turn their attention back to Gottliebs, this one will be one of the first they do. And we're fast running out of Williams DMDs, so it might be soon.

I agree that we should get an alphanumeric Gottlieb first, and SnS is the one I've been hoping for.

There are youtube videos of R911-seems to be a really cool table. The helicopter toy seems to make all the difference.

btw how to roll rescue 911.

1) start multiball. you get it for free by selecting certain modes on the plunge.

2) trap one ball on upper right flipper, and one on lower left flipper.

3) shoot emergency room with upper right flipper (takes practice. )

4) shoot right ramp with lower left flipper. (easy shot)

5) trap both balls with Insta-Catch(tm) flippers.

6) return to step 3. yes it's doable in real life.

Sure TPA could tune the shot to emergency room from trap on upper right flipper to be impossible.. but that would be cheating, because it's NOT impossible in real life. it IS a very tight shot though.

Alternatively, tune it so you can't trap the ball. that's just as unrealistic.
