What are your most-wanted tables?

PacDude did an awesome VP8 version.
"Hey pal, there's a cover charge here"
"Didn't I see you in a line-up?"
"So loooonng"
I love the MATCH animation!!

I remember playing Pinball Magic by Capcom at a trade show. I was really impressed by the dynamic nature of the sound on Capcom pins. Really good quality speakers and sub-woofers. I have played Pinball Magic, F14, and Big Bang Bar (only on Pinmame). I actually liked BBB the most. It is a very playable game. Just keep coming back for more.

This falls under the Guilty Pleasures thread, but just putting it out there that SAFE CRACKER would be awesome to see in TPA. I spent hundreds of dollars collecting the Magic Tokens on that game. Probably could have gone and purchased a tube of tokens from the importer for less money than I put into the game .

There is nothing like seeing a beautiful shiny golden token come flying down the playfield glass toward you after "entering the vault". And when you complete all vault letters, it is a token avalanche!

I even managed to get the elusive Silver Token for this machine. There was only ever one silver token in every token tube so the chances of getting it was about 1 in 50 (I think each tube held about 50 tokens maximum).

I played a real Haunted House, Xenon, and Monopoly and I would love to see those. I hope they wait a while on Monopoly, if it does come, since it's another Pat Lawlor with some similarities to his other tables (but with some nice twists like a policeman drop target and fun toys).

You may be interested in watching this video for Safe Cracker. Chris Bucci's vids are about the best out there.

I'd like to see Bally's Space Invaders, but I'd guess it's impossible, since the game itself was the subject of a rights lawsuit (the art is an incredibly blatant ripoff of H. R. Giger's designs from Alien).

...There's also a 1976 EM table I'd like to see: Gottlieb's Royal Flush (I was just reminded of it by the IPDB rankings). I know it from an old PC simulation, or specifically from the Classic Mac OS port that the author released as shareware after the commercial project fell through. Sadly, it didn't make the transition to Mac OS X.

 

[Captain Chris]

I really want to see High Speed get released. It seems like a fun table and it seems like a lot of others would like it too.

 

[Howard Sayles]

I have really fond memories of Gottlieb's 'High Hand' table from the early '70s. It was not complex but played like a dream.

Right now, I want Attack From Mars soooo bad.

Hopefully next month, AFM looks awesome.

I'd love to see Banzai Run. It's Pat Lawlor's first game, and it has a really unusual design: the ball can be carried up into the backglass, and there are flippers and a playfield up there as well. Given the way CV works, it seems like this would be possible with the PA engine. It's a fun and unique game, and I haven't seen a real one in more than 10 years.

Nope, Harley/Taxi is coming up next. AFM is not coming until the month after.

Concerning polls and such: Based on what they've released so far, I strongly suspect Farsight is gauging potential interest by the IPDB rankings.

Look at the top 10 solid-state machines on IPDB, and you'll see that the only one of the ten that Farsight hasn't either announced as a release, or publicly expressed interest in, is Indiana Jones.

 

[hexcrass]

I'm gonna throw in my 2 cents here.
I'd like to see:

Any and all of the classy EM tables.
Pirates of the Caribbean
X Files
Star Trek (1979)
Guns N Roses
WWF Royal Rumble
KISS

That said, I plan to buy every table that Farsight makes and I hope they make 100's of them

Seawitch by Stern.

I have the gorgeous TPA tables on my iPad 3 sitting here, and yet my most played table is Whirlwind, on the lowres 3DS port, with the floaty, slow PHOF physics. I just love the game so much, and I don't even really know why. Funhouse is pretty similar (...okay, VERY similar), but I just love Whirlwind even more.

Please, Farsight - I want to feel the power of the wind on my iPad as well!

I totally agree! You also reminded me about The X-Files, I would love to have that table in TPA. I know it wasn't super popular, but I so love the theme.
