Table Pack #17 - Terminator 2 : Judgment Day Confirmed!

[Mark W**a]

People have been speculating Fish Tales for a while. Is there any evidence or hints that it's coming?

High Speed would be a really awesome surprise. Or Fish Tales. Or EarthShaker. I swear Earth Shaker was speculated as coming as far back as mid-2012.

So my guess is either: High Speed, Earth Shaker, Fish Tales, or 8-Ball Deluxe + Tee'd Off. Any of those combinations would make me very happy.

I love Sorcerer it was my most played 80's table on the Williams disc.

 

[Bowflex]

It will definitely not be a dmd.

Earthshaker was speculated due to the fact that it was mentioned that either it or dr dude would be released during year one. It was assumed by most that given that statement both would be coming

 

[DaPinballWizard]

Fish Tales just seems like such a no brainier. Red and Ted's Roadshow does too. I'm sure we eventually see them both. At least I sure hope so.

 

[Sumez]

Yeah, Fish Tales is definitely a no brainer.

When I was buying my first (only) pinball table, I was choosing between a Fish Tales (in nice, playable condition) or a White Water (a fixer-upper, but cheaper than the FT). Both of these are classic Williams tables in my perception - Unlicensed early 90's DMD's with music by Chris Granner, and a simple, fun theme. They are the 90's equivalents of tables like Taxi and Whirlwind. There's no way on earth, Fish Tales isn't gonna show up on TPA within the next year or so.

call me Robert Palmer cause I'm lookin' for clues..


(can't find any)

 

[Sumez]

I'm lookin' for clues..

 

[pseudokings]

I'm all for Fish Tales (as I have posted many, many times before), or WHO dunnit. Go ahead and couple it with Tee'd Off so we finally get that 2 DMD pack, after another no DMD pack. More than anything I'm just hoping for an exciting lead table, because Flight 2000 and Goin Nuts is not doing much for me (though I hope they surprise me).

 

[CycOd3liC]

Still so many great tables to create. Fish Tales, Junk Yard, Road Show, Earth Shaker, TAF. I'm really wanting FT to get done soon though, I abuse it at a local arcade weekly and I'm probably going to get banned from there soon!

 

[Bowflex]

Bam! Just put it to the goal. I can't stand seeing the number 666 do I pledged the 334 to get rid of that and hit the goal

 

[Kolchak357]

Way to step up Bowflex!


Edit: It just dropped below again. I'm sure it's just a temporary blip.

 

[Bowflex]

Plus too much worrying about that goal. More I
Portabt things like what will be in the next pack

 

[Clawhammer]

I don't think there is any concrete evidence, more that it's a fairly popular DMD game that doesn't require a license. I don't recall any FS hints, blurry pictures, etc.

 

[Palmer Eldritch]

8 Ball Deluxe confirmed?

8 Ball Deluxe confirmed?

Pretty much confirmed in the Allgames.com interview. I'm even going to go out on a limb and say it's coming in Pack 17. I sure hope so. I got to play in again at CA Extreme last weekend and it's a great table.

8 Ball Deluxe really is a true classic. It's what I think of when I picture a pin in my head. Not my favorite pin, but I will love to have it. It has so much replay value. This might push my friend to finally get a tablet. It is his all time favorite. But I won't mention it to him until it is official.

 

[Rudy]

I doubt we'll see any tables involved in the polls until they release the results on September 6th. The allgames.com podcast confirms that they put a lot of stock in these polls, and it'd make no sense to announce a table before the results are announced.

That's not to say that they don't already have a copy of Eight Ball Deluxe and are probably midway through working on it, it did well in the first Bally poll so Farsight may well have started work on it in anticipation of it.

The results being out then are actually pretty perfect too, because Table Pack #17 will have just came out and the newsletter won't be able to give us news of a surprise next table because it'll be Terminator. Just a few days later and BANG, we get our results.

So yeah, I'm still sticking by Tee'd Off and Fireball. Fireball did almost as well as Eight Ball Deluxe in the Bally poll and was missing from the other poll (and yeah, presumably because it was an EM), but I guess we'll know for sure on Sunday when the next poll is announced. Maybe a table like Haunted House will be mysteriously left off the poll

But the best thing is that this basically confirms that Seawitch is coming if they were so positive about Eight Ball Deluxe. I remember a while back the wording was "This should decide which comes to the Pinball Arcade first" which I assumed meant confirmation that they were all coming eventually. So yeah, the future is looking bright

 

[Clawhammer]

I'd be very happy to see EBD. I do think that game is much better with EBs turned off though, strategy wise. I'd also love Seawitch.

 

[Clawhammer]

BSD was on the Williams poll as a game with an attainable license... that would be a very pleasant surprise anytime soon.

 

[rehtroboi40]

EBD and Tee'd Off would make a great pack 17-for a sports-related theme. Only played the latter on the first Gottlieb collection from 2004-but didn't care for it. Hopefully it's better on TPA. Never played it in an arcade BTW.

 

[JoshuaKadmon]

While I didn't count on us getting Flight 2000 and Goin' Nuts so quickly, I'll stick to my previous prediction that Fish Tales and Victory will be the next two.
