Looking back at that poll, it looks like I picked Earthshaker and Junk Yard. I'm sorry guys.

 

[EldarOfSuburbia]

Luckily that poll ended 6 months before I even knew TPA existed, so I can't claim any credit for any of it

Interestingly, looking at the Bally poll (let alone the Stern, Gottlieb, and "Premium" polls) shows a heavy Williams bias from the start of S3 onward.

Maybe this poll's results is pinned to the fridge at FS and they're crossing off names from the top down?!

I was just about to rip you a new one, but just for fun I decided to check what I voted for myself, and it looks like I will have to rip myself a new one also. (ouch)

What was I thinking? Earthshaker and Junkyard instead on Alien Poker and Barracora???

I blame it on youth

 

[Metalzoic]

Dick Swords?
It's on my "will buy a real one" list, so I'd love for it to be in TPA.

 

[Zaphod77]

Yeah, that's it's internal name.

they decided that the game wasnt' good, so they put less effort into the rules then they really should have. but it's an awesome layout in my opinion.

oh.. and..

HERE CUM
DA GUARDS

 

[Johni3w6]

Don't remember all my votes but there are still 4 that haven't been made yet out of the 10 I voted for.

Those four are Fire!, SoF, Jokerz!, and yes I know it's that has the least votes and that's Road Kings.

I would love to see Swords of Fury. Just took a look at the poll, and if Farsight is going off of that, it looks like the majority of my wish list other than SoF is a long shot. I am going to assume most people never had a chance to play Road Kings, Barracora, Defender, Blackout, etc... instead of the alternative, which is that I have bad taste.

I'd love to see this game in TPA as well.
Recreated it for VP years ago (have never seen a real sof on location) and ended up really appreciating it - nice game, nice soundtrack.

 

[invitro]

Swords of Fury is extremely highly rated, at #61 IPDB and #104 Pinside. That's higher than such classics as Firepower, Black Knight, and F-14 Tomcat (maybe S. Ritchie tables are underrated? ).

Yeah, Banzai Run and SoF are the two highest-ranked tables from that list.

SoF looks decent. Anyone else notice No Fear Dangerous Sports is very similar to High Speed? There are some differences, like the jump ramp.

I remember that being nearly identical to the one on HS2, if I remember it correctly. I don't remember the rest of the playfield being much like HS or HS2 at all.

 

[Fungi]

Looking back at that poll, it looks like I picked Earthshaker and Junk Yard. I'm sorry guys.

Looking back yet again, I noticed the SoF was also one of my picks, so, I'm not as sorry as I thought.

I don't know why when I click on the poll it doesn't show the tables that way.

I'll second these - particularly Defender and Solar Fire. The others I've played as well but didn't make as big of an impression on me. I'll also raise you a Fire!

Top 21 and we're good.

Even better resolution. A beautiful table.
