Table pack #39 speculation

[EldarOfSuburbia]

Would Mike and Shutyertrap really be that excited about a Gottlieb table

SYT really isn't that excited by Gottliebs, from what I've read.

Whatever, it's going to be Corvette, you heard it here first.

 

[canuck]

So, whats the next table?

Xenon
The one after that is the big one apparently

 

[Dedpop]

Table #39 will be Pinball Circus. You heard it here first.

You're a man of strong beliefs.

That hint can't come around soon enough. I'm running out of tables. Well, tables that I would be interested/excited to see.

I mean I could go to ipdb and just run through a list of 60s EMs if I really wanted to.

 

[shutyertrap]

I actually know a couple of tables coming up, and I'm excited about them all. Season 5 pass? Day one purchase, no hesitation.

Don't do this to us, man. Now I'm just thinking of ways to bribe you.

I doubt we'd get two bally 80's tables in a row-as much as I've been wanting EBD since voting for it in the Bally poll in which Centaur won.

I could enjoy SoF (LIONMAN!!!), but would much prefer Sorcerer.

However, we still don't have a Gottlieb for this season. Should that happen, it will be either an alphanumeric (TX, SnS, Cactus Jack, or maybe the much-talked-about BBI), or they bring us a DMD (Gladiators or, preferably, Stargate).

If the Xenon beta is out, we could find out in days.......

It is out. I really like it. Of course, I'm a big fan of alphanumerics.

I think it is a given that Roadshow, The Getaway, and Safe Cracker will all be released by the end of Season 5. Plus Farsight likes to do 2 Halloween tables in Sept and Oct (2 of Freddy, Tales From the Crypt, Bone Crushers, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein). PLUS that whole Last Action Hero thing and a potential Simpsons kickstarter. And lets not forget about te Banzai Run and F14 rumors. And Mousin Around has been requested a lot lately. So the next 12 tables are a lot to look forward to and I can see what SYT is excited about.

Now, what I am curious about is what happens after season 5? Will it be the end of regular releases? Will farsight concentrate on older tables? Gottliebs and Sterns?

 

[Kolchak357]

Stargate?

Seconded

That table's a lot more fun than people give it credit for. The combos and flow on that machine are awesome

You should try playing one with a freshly-cleaned playfield. Whizzzzz!

Oh, and the running backhand of the Carburettor. If/when Corvette is ever made, I expect to be able to make this shot. It's a lifesaver.

Hopefully not THE END OF EVERYTHING. Are there any quotes from FS saying Season 6 will be made?

Maybe they're excited about a possible Simpson kickstarter within the next few weeks. Since Harry Shearer quit, this may have bumped up the timeline for FarSight to do one, with the same "now or never" imperative that T2 faced.

Either that, or you are completely wrong, and these guys are salivating (and admit it, you are too) over table #39 being a Gottlieb!

I would bet a little bit on Gladiators, or more likely Wipe Out, or less likely World Challenge Soccer. Those are the three remaining unlicensed DMD Gottliebs. They were/are quite a bit lesser hits than CBW and Tee'd Off though, in production and IPDb rating, so I don't know. All TPA tables are in the IPDb top 300 except Harley Davidson 3rd Edition, Goin' Nuts, and El Dorado City of Gold. The latter two were special cases that I don't expect to be repeated. Wipe Out is #172, Gladiators is #288, and World Challenge Soccer is (very) unranked.

Since Harry Shearer didn't do any voice work for TSPP, his quitting the show is neither here nor there.

There are very few remaining solid state, pre-DMD, ranked Gottliebs: Joker Poker, Devil's Dare, Surf 'n Safari, and Operation: Thunder. Would Devil's Dare be an appropriate Halloween table? Apparently TX-Sector and Cactus Jack's are unranked, if my data is correct.

Cactus Jack's is 204 and TX-Sector is 221.

Cactus Jack's is my favorite alphanumeric Premier, followed by Operation Thunder.

CJ is another one I'd hope to see someday in TPA. Gotta love his cameo in CBW's "where's the king?" sequence.

That'd be great...tables that aren't on this top 300 list. Hidden gems eh.

Love me some Cactus Jack's
