[QUOTE="jazzman, post: 185604, member: 2818"] I've been asking for EMs on the Facebook page since day one, but always got shot down by a bunch of people who absolutely hated these but probably never even played one in real life. Because of this type of comments, Farsight gave up on releasing the remaining tables on the PHOF (Ace High, Jive Time) because they thought no one would want them. We could have had two classic pins as bonus tables for free, had this not been spoiled by the negativity of the outspoken few who do not neccesarily represent the majority, as Farsight always seem to think. I've loved pinball all my life and spent many, many hours and hard earned cash playing the 'old' tables of the 60's/70's/80's and I can't believe that anyone who claims to the love the game can say that EMs are boring and crap. They ARE what pinball is all about! It's fine to say that you prefer 90's tables tables over EM's or vice versa, because everyone will have different tastes, but for TPA fans to have 'hate' tendencies towards the classic pins every time the topic comes up is quite amazing. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I believe EMs in TPA will sell because the core customer base who love the game will buy all that's released (including less popular tables like LCA and Goin' Nuts). Plus it will attract others who may not be particularly attracted to DMDs and fancy toys. I hope that this last fiasco of a Poll will make Farsight finally realize that there is an appetite for older tables and that they need to balance out the newer tables with the old to add much needed variety and introduce the classics to later generations who unfortunately never had the chance to experience them.
