Hmmm...yeah those are the ones I don't expect we'll ever get from TPA.

Me thinks somebody missed reading the first post.

I think we are going to miss out on Williams' Triple Strike

No, I read it, but they've given us most of the unlicensed tables already. I mean all the ones that are really famous and sought after, so it seems the only tables that are really missing are the licensed tables. They're going to have to do more than one licensed table a season otherwise what's going to be left? At a rate of 16 unlicensed tables to 2 licensed tables a season, it's going to mean there's a ton of licensed tables not yet on TPA. So just wanted to share all of the tables we'll never see.

No Fear and Rollergames. Both titles have awkward licenses with either obscure branding (RG) or people's names (NF, with people like Nascar and motorcross sportsmen) which pretty much counts them out. Which is a shame, because I think both need to be experienced by as many people as possible.

Rollergames!

I think no fear may be possible, then again I'm mostly hoping.

No Fear is awesome, and you can never have enough Steve Richie.

Hahahaha! Believe it or not, I actually own a Fonz Pinball. It plays even worse than it looks. On the bright side, I'm fairly certain I hold the world record on that "machine".

Just looked up a video of the table. The bumpers aren't even pop bumpers!

Also, the commercial is classy (can only embed one video per post):

no, they didn't. What we did get is a bunch of 90's DMD games. And there is A LOT of great pre DMD SS games that doesn't need a licence. I'm not sure for all of them but...
Atlantis
Beat the clock
Party animal
Cybernaut
Lost world
Fire
Comet
Motordome
Blackwater 100 (I believe that licence is not an issue since that name is defunct for some 20 years)
Radical
Special force
Strange science
..... and probably a ton more, but those I remember playing as a kid in now defunct country on the other side of the world.
We need more Bally or should I say Midway tables from preWMS era.

The name isn't used, but the racing organization still exists and may still own the trademark or intellectual property. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_National_Cross_Country

Ruling out any big licensing tables such as Addams Family (lol), Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Lethal Weapon 3, ... (which definately are my top wanted tables)
Revenge from Mars. Attack from Mars is one of my favourite tables, so it would be nice to have it's brother in TPA. I have never actually seen or played it though, it might be horrible

It's not, it's a lot of fun! Also great for spectators. My friends, not pinball fans, loved watching me play because of all the visual effects.

Agreed. It's a blast. Now Episode One on the other hand...

yeah, I know. But it's worth a shot. They are not Disney and even if they do want something, I don't think it would be that much. After all it's just a name of the race from 2 decades ago. And that table is quite unique and very fun to play.

 

[Zaphod77]

I actually think radical has a very good chance.

Rollergames, though, will probably never be there.

 

[Rudy hates me]

Lets keep the chat clean and not use language like 'Ep*s*de One'. I got 5 credits for £1 when I found this one. Walked away with 4 left in there. Still get moments of guilt for whoever found and played those credits, maybe a young first time player, now put off of pinball for life.

If they do, it all comes down to if they're a trademark troll or not.

Trademark trolls are annoying. (As are patent trolls and copyright trolls.)

I really hope so, but.........

Trolls are jerks! My answer though would have to be South Park. In the fact that friends of mine would actually buy TPA. You gotta admit, killing Kenny is kinda fun

Both of these are pretty unpopular tables but I love them both.
