Unless FarSight has secured the rights to something we're unaware of, I think Fish Tales would be the most logical of the high-demand tables that are left, at least amongst the unlicensed ones that are relatively easy to acquire. There are only a few quintessential non-licensed tables we haven't heard about yet. I don't think we'll see any classic Sterns until after Flight 2000, which is reportedly a few months away. The same should be true for EBD or Fireball, which would be doubtful right on the heals of Centaur's voted release. T2, Indiana Jones, and The Getaway are big Williams tables, but they'll need licensing that I don't believe has happened yet. We won't receive a Sega or Data East table for some time, as they've been projected for 2014. The easier New Stern licenses rank far below a table like Fish Tales (NASCAR, Monopoly, Sharkey's, etc). And with Centaur and Champion Pub being back-to-back Bally releases, I would expect a Williams or a Gottlieb. With Victory likely filling the Gottlieb and PHoF slots, a Williams is the best bet, and what table would be higher priority on the Williams short list than Fish Tales, which commands a broad appeal similar to White Water? Sure, I would much prefer Swords of Fury, but Fish Tales is an admittedly safer guess. But again, that's all it is - an educated guess...All that being said, we're finally reaching that point I've really been waiting for - the point where PHoF tables are almost all accounted for and big licenses will be fewer and far between due to complex funding issues. This will be the time when lesser-known tables, the real underdogs and personal player favorites get a chance at TPA release. In a way, we've already started to see this with Centaur and the upcoming Flight 2000, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Most people know that I'm thinking of SoF, Xenon, and Haunted House (my long-established trinity on these forums), but what about your personal favorite or the next guy's? Our recommendations and votes, along with FS's staff favorites, mean more than ever now. I'm still holding out hope for a full four seasons and a total of 100 TPA tables, and if that proves true, this season is going to be a blast as we fill the time it takes FS to secure the big names like TAF, T2, etc.Personally, I've never been more jazzed to be involved in TPA. The best is yet to come.</blockquote>
