[QUOTE="Rudy, post: 49665, member: 1233"] For 'bang for your buck' I'd say that Farsight have already secured some of the best value for money ones with Harley Davidson, Elvira's and Monster Bash, given that it's very likely that the liscence holders either made a very generous offer, or approached Farsight themselves. In fact, I'd go on to say that there's no guarentee that premium tables are outselling table packs so a 'premium' liscence would probably not be the best 'bang for your buck' kind of thing. Yes, everyone would probably buy The Addams Family, but the costs involved would probably make it the least profitable table on the platform. If you consider that the 'premium' tables have had kickstarters of around $30k then it's likely that Farsight's regular cut off is between $5-10k, what we need to do is think about tables with cheap liscences but wide appeal in order to find the best 'bang for your buck' table. In that scenario I'd say that [B]Rollercoaster Tycoon [/B]would be the best value for money. It's nowhere near being the best Pat Lawler table but it's cheap, easy and will certainly sell well. Harley Davidson isn't particularly deep or challenging but it's very easy to just pick up and play and would get more people interested in pinball than if they played Twilight Zone and kept getting balls drained mercilessly. Other 'cheap' but notable licences I can think of off the top of my head: [B]Monopoly[/B] - not sure though, in my head it's a lot bigger liscence than it appears to be. [B]The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle[/B] - Interesting design and probably one of the cheaper Data East/Stern tables to negotiate a deal for. [B]Elvis[/B] - it's a bland table, but Elvis representatives are interested and well, they might be able to offer a really generous package. I remember hearing that they would be ok with someone playing covers of the songs, which makes me wonder if they could just get someone to create some instrumentals that sound like classic midi's so that players could 'sing along' without being distracted by a horrible vocalist covering it.
