Who cares if Mark buys this pack or any future packs. His loss.
Farsight might be trying to build a small collection of say, 12 non-emulated tables to stick on a 3DS cart so that people with a 3DS can get their game, with the intention of emulating the emulatable (if that's a word) games at a later point so that they can release more pro tables for the emulated ones.
This explains the huge Gottlieb poll and the sudden burst of Gottlieb:HOF tables in TPA.
If you flip-flop the Champion Pub and Central Park images, then you got a "ryme". Most likely Farsight accidentally flip-flopped the images when they made that icon.
Firepower and Dr Dude = Table Pack 11
Central Park and Cactus Canyon = Table Pack 12
White Water and Space Shuttle = Table Pack 13
Pin*Bot and Centaur = Table Pack 14
The Champion Pub and Whirlwind = Table Pack 15

I think it's Goin' Nuts in the next pack. They probably just couldn't find a promo image of it, so they used an image from the next pack instead. They have to know the difference between a gopher and a squirrel.
This is my favorite kind of pack: I haven't played either table and I have no idea what to expect.
It's supposed to be 50+ of the all time great...
Sorry, but IMO The Pinball Arcade is more than just a video game. It's about preserving pinball for future generations as well. If a prototype game or two is included within TPA, that is fine by my book. I didn't get the opportunity to play Goin' Nuts because I had the original Gottlieb collection on Game Cube, not Wii. There's also been a general lack of Gottlieb tables on TPA, and now hopefully with the emulation issues fixed, there will be more. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Farsight already have the rights to all the PBHOF tables? If so, it should be easy to port them over. Again, production numbers isn't a factor if the get a loner from the Pinball museum. Farsight is good friends with the Las Vegas Pinball Hall of Fame.Goin Nuts makes the whole collection crappier by existing. It's supposed to be 50+ of the all time great and historic pinballs. There is nothing great or historic about Goin Nuts. It makes history as probably one of the worst post-flipper pinballs ever concieved. They cut production for a reason.... Being historic for being so bad they basically pulled the plug at the last minute and 10 were made does not make for something worthwhile in this otherwise incredible pinball collection so far...
When I think Pinball Arcade I think quality not curiosity. Curiosities like Goin Nuts and Orbiter 1 do not belong in this collection.
I'm still holding out hope. Maybe giving out blatant Goin Nuts clues was an attempt to troll us all along. Get us all bummed out, thinking it'll be Goin Nuts. Then when it's revealed that it's in fact Tee'd Off, we all get super pumped and rejoice in happiness. Well played, Farsight, well played (crosses fingers).
If anything, Goin' Nuts have its right to be part of the collection, and (sigh) so does Orbiter 1 though I think that is not going to happen because of its 'curiosity'.
After reading this article, I actually think it'd be cool as heck to see an Orbiter 1 table in TPA.
Have you played one? My now long gone arcade used to have one. I popped 50 cents in it to try it once. It's...interesting but really nothing more than a novelty. The ball is rolling all over the place and you really don't fell like you have any control over it. It's not the kind of table to hold the average person's interest for very long. That's why it sold poorly.
What a surprise. Pack 16 is Flight 2000 and Goin' Nuts.

Well now that it's official, official I wonder what's going to be paired with Tee'd Off. I hope they don't do a double re-release pack. I would like to see Sorcerer though, as long as they make the lock ramp difficult.
