Totally UNofficial "Top 10 of What's Left" - *LICENSED - BALLY*

[WesReviews]

NOT officially sanctioned by FarSight... just for fun/curiosity... what are your TOP 10 licensed BALLY tables of what's left, that you would like to see on The Pinball Arcade?

Poll maximum is 30 selections (you can vote for up to 10), so I've tried my best to cram most of the fan favorites into it. If there's a table you wish had been included, my apologies. I have also omitted any tables heavily rumored or pretty much confirmed for future release.

Info about each of the choices can be found at the links below, thanks to the IPDB...

Baby Pac-Man (1982)
Blackwater 100 (1988)
BMX (1982)
Bobby Orr Power Play (1977)
Bugs Bunny's Birthday Ball (1991)
Capt. Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy (EM, 1975)
Corvette (1994)
Dolly Parton (1978)
Doctor Who (1992)
Dungeons & Dragons (1987)
Evil Knieval (1976)
Flash Gordon (1980)
Gilligan’s Island (1991)

Where's the poll?

 

[WesReviews]

Sorry, took a bit longer to type out. Poll should be there now.

 

[Nightwing]

Fairly easy choices for me. My top 3 are:

The Shadow
Doctor Who
Judge Dredd

 

[Kolchak357]

Of course I voted for Evel Knievel.

 

[WesReviews]

And before anyone mentions it... I am well aware that Capt. Fantastic is an EM. Just thought I would include it since there was room.

 

[canuck]

I thought Judge Dredd was a cheap license? There are other games on iOS based on Dredd franchise, such as interactive novels.

Glad you did. I voted for it. It's one of my wife's faves.

 

[Bowflex]

Of course I voted for Evel Knievel.

Gotta give love to Dolly Parton!!! However, based on this forum I would expect Evel Knievel to DOMINATE. The only thing working against it is the fact that it is already anticipated.

Gilligan's Island FTW!

I really thought Dungeons & Dragons would be doing better. Quite a fun table.

I really thought Dungeons & Dragons would be doing better. Quite a fun table.

The one thing I hate about the table is the ball frequently rolls in to the out lane when trying to trap the ball to get the control. The Magic Save only lasts a second or so and if you haven't gotten control of the ball by the time it goes away the ball will frequently just roll off in to one of the out lanes. And to make it worse typically its does a slow roll to its doom. Frustrating.

I guess it would be a good table to teach flipper control but think it might be even more frustrating on TPA where the flippers lack that extra finesse you can apply on real table flippers to slow/stop the ball.

So I think I threw that vote to Spy Hunter, which I know is supposed to be a terrible table - maybe even worse, but I like the theme, want to try it, and $5 is just fine to give it a whirl regardless if I play it a lot or not.

tough choice.......
blackwater
the shadow
bugs bunny
popeye
spy hunter
bmx
nba
dredd
corvette
indianapolis

I played most of those modern ones so I woted for them mostly but I would like to older ones also. And I would very much like to replace that ****ty Stern HD for the one from Bally

 

[Crawley]

I think I did these 10.

Corvette
Doctor Who
Evel Knievel - Really enjoy playing this table. Simple but challenging.
Judge Dredd
NBA Fastbreak - This is such a fun table with a unique scoring method. Would be fun if TPA had this with head-to-head play.
Mr. and Mrs. Pac-Man - Don't care as much for this one but would love an 80s arcade table pack with this, Spy Hunter, and Defender (rare)
Shadow, The
Six Million Dollar Man, The - More of a nostalgic table for me. Played it recently and it was middle of the road.
Spy Hunter
World Cup Soccer - Really fun table. Surprised me how good it was. A bit of challenge and a lot of good fun mixed in.

Pretty easy poll, although I really wanted to include "Playboy" in my votes. I was also going back and fourth on "Popeye", but at the end of the day, it just looks like it would be dreadful.

My choices:

- Corvette
- Doctor Who
- Gilligan's Island
- Judge Dredd
- KISS
- NBA Fastbreak
- The Shadow
- Space Invaders
- Spy Hunter
- World Cup Soccer

I'll never get the love for "Indy 500"? It's just not that fun to me, and I hate the colors used on the table.

And before anyone mentions it... I am well aware that Capt. Fantastic is an EM. Just thought I would include it since there was room.

My uncle use to own this table, as well as "Silverball Mania". Those were the first tables I ever played.

I missed voting for The Shadow. There was a beautifully re-conditioned one at Pinfest that was very popular, but I put a good game in when I got my turn.

 

[weirdproq]

My votes:

Baby Pac-Man
Blackwater 100
Power Play
Bugs Bunny’s Birthday Ball
Corvette
Gilligan’s Island
NBA Fastbreak
Mr. and Mrs. Pac-Man
Popeye Saves the Earth
The Shadow

Check out this video of Power Play, it has great chimes:
