I'd be shocked if it was anything else but "Bram stoker's Dracula". I'm not a betting man whatsoever, but I'd place a bet on this one.

As for "Roadshow", I don't get it? (Well, I do, it's yet another Lawlor table, but we have quite a few of those already) The table, purely based on pictures and video, just doesn't look as fun for as much hype and love as it's getting. I guess it's one of those "You have to play it to understand" type deals.

Personally, I think "Xenon" looks more fun, and that's a bare bones type table. I really hope we get that one next season.

If BSD is the biggest (well,outside of TAF) "horror" themed table left out there - then I still say it kicks off Season 4 with a bang in October. Honestly,at this point it doesn't matter either way - it's still coming out this year. It's just a question of when.

As for Road Show,it is one of those "need to play it to understand" type of tables. I personally don't see what the big deal is about Monopoly or RCT (haven't played the former,but I've played the latter) but it's just personal preference to me at this point. In it's heyday - you were almost guaranteed to find a Road Show table at many of the big truck stops back in the mid 90s. I find more humor in that game because it resonates with me on a personal level. But as much as that would be a surprise for pack #30 - I don't see it happening. Until Season 4 anyway.

Hopefully with Xenon also. And Banzai Run :)

I don't recall anyone guaranteeing EBD, and the company said they ran out of time for the BK ROMulation, but will indeed get it it when they get a chance.

FarSight would like your help in deciding which classic Bally table to re-create first.
Implying that the rest on the classic bally poll would be re-created in later seasons.
yup, they never guaranteed anything ... which is exactly what I said.
However, there is an ongoing issue of making promises and those promises being pushed and pushed. However, the promises tend to be taken as guarantees, much like the assertions being made in this thread that Cyclone and Earthshaker, the losers in the other official poll, will definitely be made; much like EBD was assumed to be recreated at some point by now.


Try actually reading what I write and not interjecting your dislike of me.

Now that they shifted to only ONE table per month, we're going to miss out on many tables just out of sheer number still needing to be made.

Unnecessary bs, right Mods?

I think "Freddy" is one of the other last, big name horror tables out there that people really want. It's actually my 2nd Most Wanted realistic table, with BSD being the other.

I've honestly never seen a R&TRS before, but it all depends on the area. A lot of people I talk to on the FB page have never seen an F-14 Tomcat or a TMNT machine before back in the day, and those two were literally EVERYWHERE out here in the 90s.

As for "Monopoly", which my local arcade has, it's just an extremely challenging table. It's actually one of the hardest tables I've ever played. If you get time, look it up on Youtube and just watch. It's a very complex table. I've never played RCT, but it looks like a lot of fun.

Yeah I wish we could go back and get 2 tables per month again

That's what it would take to get more EM tables (For example: Seawitch, Royal Flush, EBD, Jungle Lord). Tables like that would have a hard time selling on their own.

Of course on the PS4, it takes six months to get two tables released. I do not miss my PS4!!!

Next frivolous report I get about this thread earns the perpetrator a 72-hour ban.

Seriously, if you two can't get along, use the forum's blacklist feature so you don't have to read each other's posts.

I'd be inclined to shut this thread down for 72 hours anyway so everyone can go have a cookie and a lie down. These threads are just a guessing game after all.

There are only two tables that I'm worried about showing up now... Too bad they're also my personal favorites -- Swords of Fury and Xenon. Neither is licensed, so I hold out hope that FarSight will eventually give them attention. But to me, everything else is just a bonus now... I think we have the greatest pinball anthology we are ever likely to see in video gaming. It's just a selfish wish that I could have my #1 and #2 tables as part of TPA before development eventually ends.

Xenon is heavy requested and top ten finisher in the polls originally done a year or so back. Swords of fury gets plenty of mentions so there is definite hope for both. I think xenon has a strong chance next season and maybe swords in season 5.

I think we have a great show at "Xenon" in the near future. The fact that Farsight has said they're keeping an eye on my Season 4 Most Wanted poll, and the fact that "Xenon" is holding it's own and doing great amongst the big boys really should give people hope.

I hope we get it sooner rather than later. I can't imagine how awesome it would be/look on PS4.

I'm with all of you on Xenon, I'm not a big fan of early 80's and lower Pinball games. But their are a few I wouldn't mind seeing Xenon, Seawhich, Swords of fury, Flash, and Fathom all come to my mind, so here's hoping.

I agree with you guys also - with Xenon being on top of that early 80's SS games. I've only gotten to play it a few times - but the layout & artwork make it stand out. I'd say Xenon is your best shot for a early SS table for Season 4.
