[QUOTE="soundwave106, post: 215702, member: 3746"] DMD / 90s tables seem to sell the best (I guess), and there's a very vocal group that hates older tables. (Although there's another vocal group that wants more EMs and early SS... go figure.). It's also been a bit strange that there's been a bit more support (as in, people yapping about it in Facebook requests etc) for "cult classics" like Paragon and Centaur overall. Due to the results of the "pre 80s" pin poll, you'll probably see Paragon sooner than EBD I think. Hopefully EBD eventually makes it though. It does make things interesting when you look at figures. If I pick 10,000 units as an arbitrary number... beyond 1986, there are 13 pins that meet this criteria. TPA has done 8 of them, with High Speed 2 on the way, F-14 likely soon, and the rest probably unobtainable due to licenses. In contrast, there are *30* pins made from 1975-1982 that sold more than 10K units. TPA has done only four of them: Xenon, Firepower, Black Knight, and Gorgar. Three of them were probably mainly done because they were in the earlier Hall of Fame games. They don't always get a lot of love in the forums unfortunately, and I get the sense some of the conversions were "rush jobs" (I like Firepower a lot but the TPA conversion is buggy; the same goes for Black Knight). I do like a bit of variety personally and would like to see some more tables from that era mixed in. [/QUOTE]
