It's not a simple popularity contest.  Instead, they seem to be considering fun factor, historical value, a balance of gameplay that will translate digitally, and maybe even some personal preference amongst their programmers.  I think that's good, since it means we get a better mix of machines that we may or may have not played before.For instance, Ripley's ranks 83rd on Pinside.com's Top 100, while Gorgar and Hayley Davidson Third Edition don't even make the list.  Black Hole is at #77, and the ever-popular Black Knight only makes #68.  Swords of Fury sits between them at 72nd, despite having a more limited production run.  The people who have played SoF love it, and it's gameplay is perfectly suited for digital conversion.  It's also an unlicensed, original Williams IP, so it would be an easy table to include for FarSight.TPA shouldn't just be a collection of the Top 40 pinball tables.  While including those top-rated tables may be important for drawing players in, it's the exposure to new favorites and tables they've never had the opportunity to play that will keep them coming back.  Putting under-appreciated tables like Swords of Fury into TPA will help solidify FarSight as an actual pinball authority, rather than regurgitating the same Top 40 checklist that everyone can read on Pinside or IPDB.</blockquote>
