Rescue 911, Safecracker, F-14 Tomcat, and Jackbot are the only ones I remember.
I keep hearing about this list. Where is it?

Surf N Safari has a special place in my heart, as i made the layout for visual pinball back in the day (the correct one), and captured the flow as well as visual pinball could back in the day.
No licensing issues i'm aware of, and it's got a ruleset very different from most Premiere games, so that makes it pretty cool.
Surfin' Safari by the Beach Boys plays at the begining of the game, but doesn't seem to play during gameplay for some reason, so there might be a licensing issue there. Also, Gottlieb's Wipe Out has the song of the same name by the Surfaris.
a boring Jackbot game
Haunted House, which seems to get no love at all in TPA, is one of the few Gottlieb games in the IPDB solid state Top 100.
(Including another machine everyone seems to hate on in TPA, Central Park, which is #7 on the EM top 100 and actually would easily make the combined top 100 too.)
How much of Jack*bot have you actually played? There's a fair amount to do on it, just about equal to Getaway with a main multiball, a wizard-ish mode, and a few side features. The casino games are neat, Casino Run is quite the thrill, and the multi-stage main multiball with the visor is also interesting, comparable to MM's castle multiball with the different stages.
(TPA would need that Extra Ball button to mash for cheating on the casino games, which might be a minor headache to implement on all the touch platforms.)
It would be like if I released Firepower and added DMD and a poker theme.
So... FirePokerPower, in DotMation?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Central Park is a popular 60's Wedgehead. Just about any of the Gottlieb's with mechanical back glasses carry some strong value.
I kinda dig Central Park for what it is. I'll play it every once in a while and am glad to have it in TPA. That being said, I would rather have a 70's era EM added this season.
I wonder if that ranking is due to TPA itself. People know Central Park from TPA (and PHOF) and they'll rank what they know.
Latest news letter has next table's hint.
Does it means pack 35 is not TAF?
Apparently, the hint guy loves making hints so much that he made a hint for it despite it already being revealed as table #34.
