[QUOTE="JoshuaKadmon, post: 32275, member: 1046"] If FarSight delivers on its promises of "most of the Top 40" and "tables added every month for years to come", we should end up with a very satisfying final product. I agree that Xenon should be an easy bet for eventual inclusion, as should Haunted House, White Water, Fish Tales, The Getaway: High Speed II, and a bunch of other popular requests. I'd also be anxious to see some underappreciated greats like Swords of Fury (reportedly under consideration), Centaur, and TX-Sector. I know we devote a lot of time and discussion to licensing quandaries on this forum, but the non-licensed tables are just as important to me. But just to address remaining license challenges, it seems to me that FarSight could handle 8-12 licensed tables per year (2-3 needing Kickstarters), depending on their cost. As they gain leverage with TZ and ST:TNG, along with additional profits, this could become a bit easier. I envision the best licensing strategy/timeline to look something like this: [I]2012 - Twilight Zone / Star Trek: The Next Generation [no Kickstarter necessary for Elvira x2, Ripley's, CftBL, Monster Bash, or Harley] 2013 - The Addams Family / Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure / Star Wars [no Kickstarter for Phantom of the Opera, Pirates of the Caribbean, AC/DC, TG:HS2, Starship Troopers, Sharkey's, Monopoly, or Goldeneye] 2014 - The Simpsons Pinball Party / Lord of the Rings [no Kickstarter for Demolition Man, Dirty Harry, Bram Stoker, Tales from the Crypt, Stargate, Judge Dredd, Last Action Hero, South Park, or Apollo 13] 2015 - Terminator 2: Judgment Day / Doctor Who / Jurassic Park [no Kickstarter for Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, Nightmare on Elm St., Elvis, The Shadow, Tommy, Back to the Future, Mary Shelley, or X Files][/I] That would cover every single licensed table in my "Ultimate 100" list, without any single year being overwhelming. This would also continue the basic balance of pairing higher-cost tables with a non-licensed table, since the mix would almost be 50/50 between them (slightly more non-licensed than licensed, which is probably smart). Of course, I'm still operating under the assumption of a 4-year/100-table run for TPA, and I'll probably continue doing so until proven otherwise. The more I look at it, the more the Ultimate 100 looks completely feasible. [/QUOTE]
