Table Pack #61 Speculation

[Kolchak357]

Swords of Fury should be a cool addition.

 

[Blkthorne]

One of the tables I had on my wishlist, glad it is coming to TPA

 

[Pinballwiz45b]

Lionman!

 

[karl]

Yay! Happyface!

It's a little bit overrated as a player, but those sounds (he says while melting)

It has one of the best theme songs on any machine ever, so I will be happy with this one. Even if it is a bit simple when it comes to the rules (like so many sys 11) it has a unique layout, a cool theme and......Lionman

Here cum da guards!!

 

[Dedpop]

I love it !
Great choice to end this season.

 

[Rudy Yagov]

Ah, yes, Swords of Fury. Great music and memorable callouts. Mini-playfield is all that maters, though. Gets old quickly.

 

[Crawley]

I don't get why there's a dancer in the hint either, but I'm glad we're finally getting Swords of Fury!

It's supposed to be the phonetic word for Bally. Ballet / Bally. Like OVE is in place for the word OF.

Took a bit to get this one.

Glad this one is coming. A fun to play table.

It's not a Williams table ???

 

[Crawley]

It's not a Williams table ???

Bally Williams? I dunno. What else would the ballet dancer represent?

I have no idea.
I don't get it but you should be right (what else could it be ?)

Nevermind.

 

[Rudy Yagov]

It's a Williams. It was released in 1988, same year as the Bally merger, so it's not that far off.

 

[Trackball]

Somebody tell the Buffalo Pinball guys!

Have some nostalgia to tide you over for the next month.

Bally-Williams is BACK, baby! The worst is behind us!

 

[wolfson]

bloody thumbs up !!!!

 

[pm1109]

Good way to finish a pretty average season

 

[Rudy Yagov]

The music is unfortunately the best part about SoF. Most of the playfield has virtually no flow and there aren't really any good shots. The upper mini-playfield is great and the progressively timed drop targets are a unique feature, but the rest of the table just suffers from poor design.

[xAzatothx]

the music is awesome on this table, but wish we could have the mechanical sounds in TPA like from that vid!

 

[Garycope]

The ballet dancers name is patti Williams from the Pennsylvania ballet

 

[FrankenBall]

Right there with ya wolfson and Trackball!!!! I too am hoping the worst is behind us. Still thinking of deciding with my wallet. Months of disappointing, hard to look at Gottliebs (EM's excepted) we've endured, bad rollout of half cooked product for SPA; and now FINALLY back to the core of what made pinball great. I've been waiting for SoF for 2 years after I played one at the Midwest Gaming Classic. Music is great, I disagree with the allegations of poor playfield design, and enjoy its flow and hard tunnel shots. The theme and art set it SO far above what we've seen lately in TPA compared with the astonishingly ugly board "art" of BB/CJ/Al G. that it will be a relief not to have to worry about whether LOOKING at the board will be more of a challenge than PLAYING it in the long run.

I really like the "ballet Williams" twist in the rebus. Painful, but I like it. Research rewarded! Great catch Garycope!

Keep in mind, it only sounds like that because the glass was removed.
