Special Force is a Bally.
Really? I thought it was made because they ran out of Williams licenses at the time so they churned out a Gottlieb game. Love to know where that quote came from because it doesn't look like the sort of thing they'd say... usually Farsight are more diplomatic than that.As for EBD, again, if it was as good as people say it is (or as good as it's ranked,), than it would've been made before "Cue Ball Wizard", and obviously Farsight disagrees with the EBD fans because they've said as much. ("We chose this over EBD because we liked it better")

If that's the same list that has High Speed as "No way" or similar, then I suspect a good portion of it is bunk. I never got an answer on where FS' statement on HS came from so personally, unless there's a link then I'm not believing a thing there.http://digitalpinballfans.com/showt...arSight-said-about-___-table-quot-List-Thread
Go down and look at "Eight Ball Deluxe".
Bad Cats is also one of my favorites and I really hope we might see it someday, but from what I've read on this forum it doesn't seem likely any time soon, sadly.
Who knows, maybe next season?

It caused me to doubt my belief on HS too many times
You're totally right. Instead of all these tables from the community polls, Farsight should just be asking individual forum members what they want the most, then not releasing anything until they can get the license for that table, and repeat the process after that happens. I mean there's soo many happy customers right now, that a policy of 1 table at a time, when ever it is convenient, will be an utter smash.
Sweet. I totally didn't want to think or decide what I want on my own.
Thank you for speaking for everyone.
Well how hard is it to get Addams Family when you can get Star Trek, Twilight Zone and T2? I mean literally Star Trek and T2 were far more successful than Addams Family, and would cost more to get the rights to I'd imagine, so why couldn't TAF be the next table?
"Bunk" was perhaps too harsh a word I used, but my point is that list of quotes is quite sensitive to time and context and none of those until very recently had that. Which is why I'm choosing not to believe those quotes because they could be old. With the EBD quote, it sounds like it was in response to someone asking about it shortly after Cue Ball Wizard was released, which puts it at around 6 months old. A lot could have happened between then and nowThe mod said "Not at the moment", and I believe this was asked during Season 2, so he wasn't lying.
No offense, but I think I'll trust an employee's word over the majority in the unknown's opinion. I'd try asking about it on the page again and see what he has to say.
At least you ended up getting the game you wanted, though.

Oh so you want Diner, Earthshaker and Cyclone more than Addams Family, Dracula, and Junk Yard?
I realized I laid the sarcasm on thick there so to be clear - your desires are not everyone's desires.
Addams Family doesn't hold this mythic status as the end-all and be-all pinball machine for me. I played it back in college, was able to play it again last year, and play the VP and FP incarnations. Its just ok with me. Its a challenging table rather than a fun one. While I would be happy to have the table in TPA its not up there with my top desired tables and I wouldn't be upset if it didn't get created. From your list Diner and Junk Yard would precede it. And I'd much rather have Big Bang Bar, Lord of the Rings, and Road Show before those two.
So as amazing as it sounds people have different opinions.
I got the licenses for all these tables, neat. Good to know. Sure wish I had been awake for any of that. Does anyone have pictures of me in California?
Seriously though, the reason your "questions" are being greeted with no small amount of derision is likely due to the fact that this has been discussed, argued, and talked into the ground on this forum. IF you take a chance swing at the search feature you may answer the question you tried to ask me yourself, but if you really want me to answer if as if I was involved in the licensing process then I will try.
Because it is.
Does that cover all the necessary details for you?
All except for: The Addams Family had more units produced, individually not combined, than Star Trek:The Next Generation, and Terminator 2:Judgement Day. So, I am not sure what your point was.

You make a valid point.
Like I said, you should make a post on the FB page and ask about EBD, see what he says.
It couldn't hurt.
