The Mystery of Eight Ball Deluxe

[dave950lam]

I know it would be cost-prohibitive, but an Eight Ball/ Eight Ball Deluxe combo pack would be cool.

And the original Bally's Star Trek also needs to be in TPA, though it may need a kickstarter.

Imagine if they do Sharkey's Shootout instead because it has a DMD and a ramp

I hope so. I'd much rather have Sharkey's Shootout than EBD.

.....That would be unfortunate.....

If you can do Pin Bot and Jack Bot, then why not both? EBD and Sharkeys have totally different rules.

Where are you seeing 8,850 production for the 1984/1985 version?

EBD is 8,250
EBD LE is 2,388
Total of 10,638
This is per IPDB

The LE had had a different back box and some slightly different cabinet art.

I hope so. I'd much rather have Sharkey's Shootout than EBD.

I'm really hoping for both!

That'd be awesome eh.

 

[chinzman93]

I would be cool with that as well.....as long as EBD is first...

 

[rehtroboi40]

I'm really hoping for both!

Most unlikely, at least in the same season. My main pick remains EBD, although I won't say no to Sharkey's Shootout.

Is there some reason Sharkey's is not preferred over EBD?

I've only played Sharkey's at one event I went to so don't have a good sense of the complete game. But I was immediately drawn to the goal of defeating other pool sharks and the sound package/call outs (from what I could hear) was pretty good.

 

[Kolchak357]

I've only played Sharkeys at events also but I really liked it. There is much more to do and it does look and sound good. To me it's one of the most underrated Stern pins.
But I'm drawn to EBD because it's one of those pins I grew up playing. Great layout with simple rules that are frustratingly difficult to achieve. That's what it is for me.

I've already said I'd rather see Sharkey's. I'm expecting Farsight to make this one, unless they can't get Jeanette Lee's license. I think it'd be more fun than EBD... but I haven't played either table more than ten times, probably. But EBD is at least somewhat historic (I think it's overrated in that department) and Sharkey's certainly isn't.

EDIT: I gotta say that I hate wireforms that drop the ball below the inlane switches.

 

[chinzman93]

I am also drawn to EBD because of the amount of playtime from my youth. Just great memories. I don't mind Sharky's, but it just seems to me that the voice overs get a bit old. I would preferred both over CBW.

 

[Kolchak357]

How sweet is that Jeanette Lee? Wonder if she is still a beauty? It's been a lot of years since I've seen her.

 

[chinzman93]

Yeah...I wonder too. I don't see pool on ESPN very often any more.

That's my feeling also - at least in regards to EBD & Sharkey's. I've never played a Sharkey's - though it looks interesting,and I'd be okay with it being in TPA. But if I had to choose either/or,then I want the table that I personally remember included.

What do you think ?

They've essentially replaced it with WSP.
