Oh sweet, it's out? I was half-heartedly following the progress of that, glad it's come to fruition. Can't wait to check it out!

Harlem Globetrotters and The Sopranos for me. Had a lot of good times on those tables but nobody mentions them at all.

I have a couple:
- Demolition Man. Lots of ramps and flow but is most likely doomed to fail as a Kickstarter due to how the actual movie is extremely obscure.
- Riverboat Gambler. Deep rules for an early 90s table but High Roller Casino technically will serve that role
- Jurassic Park. Classic Data East and one of the best known, but would require a ludicrous amount of bucks for Kickstarter

Hardly an obscure movie when it had Sly Stallone, Wesley Snipes, and Sandra Bullock in it! Just getting on for 20 years old and there was never a sequel. It's a great pin as well, probably my favorite of the mid-90s wide bodies.
Now we're talkin'. And yes, the licensing demands will be over-the-top. You're probably also dealing with the Crichton estate because, IIRC, there are elements of the pin that were taken from the book and weren't in the movie. If ever there was a Kickstarter I would donate to in a heartbeat, this would be it - over and above any other license out there, and that includes TAF.

Demolition Man was an awesome movie!
Fire! only started selling after they dressed them up as "Champagne editions" to make them look prettier. Internally it was known as "firewood". They knew it was a bad game before they released it.
Then again, Swords of Fury was also considered a bad game, and was internally known as D*ck Swords (and oddly enough it says "HERE CUM DA GUARDS" when multiball starts... intentional?)
And i thought it was fun. didn't much like Fire! though.

Johnny Mnemonic.The Shadow.Flash Gordon.Dredd.Tron.Back to the Future.......i'd love to see all of those on TPA but some of these are unpopular to begin with and then there is always the license barrier.
And yeah the above mentioned Demolition Man would also be cool!

Well, my goodness, I think this is the first time anyone's ever mentioned my personal most-wanted table, Johnny Mnemonic, and you mention my second most-wanted table, Shadow, too! DM and JD are up there too. Maybe I need to try Flash Gordon and Tron

I would love to play Jurrasic Park, Demolition Man, The Shadow, Family Guy, Tron Lagecy, The Addam's Family, Indiana Jones (the Williams and Stern versions), Spiderman, Last Action Hero, Appollo 13, Baywatch, The Simspson's Pinball Party, and Many many more but those and many others may not be liked by everybody and might fail as a Kickstarter. I do think myself that Jurrasic Park, The Simpson's Pinball Party, Tron Lagacy, Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure, Spiderman, Family Guy, The Addam's Family, and The Shadow would make their Kickstarter marks but would be expensive. Also Tron and Indiana Jones are Highly unlikly to ever happen and it sucks, but the others I could see happening if they can get the Addam's Family so we could show them we want other games to come after it.

I'm guessing that no more than about three licensed tables have any shot, and Shadow isn't close to being in the top three most popular.

I throw Johnny mnemonic out there all the time along with Congo, shadow, demolition man and judge dredd for licensed.

Awesome! Maybe these are more popular than I think... I sure hope so! I don't really follow many of the upcoming-table threads here, and my notions of popularity are based mostly on the IPDB ratings (or my recollection of them).
I have not played Congo very much at all. DM and JD were extremely widespread where I lived in the 1990s, and I played both tons and tons, so I am not as keen on those two as JMn and Shadow. (Well I played Shadow quite a bit, but its overall quality as a table is probably a lot higher than these other tables. I have played less than 10 games of JMn, all on machines with broken gloves.)
I am embarrassed that I wrote "I think this is the first time anyone's ever mentioned", because that's clearly a false statement! Sorry.
I would also love to see Corvette, which is probably my #3 after JMn and Shadow. And Road Show, Dirty Harry (seriously), Dr. Who, Banzai Run, and maybe No Fear, WCS, IJ, TAF, and the Capcom pins would come next.

Why is bally 94 world cup soccer not possible on tpa ? likeness of the dog ?
FIFA licensing ? It would would have been great with the world cup june/july release...20 years later.
Never played it myself but it looks like fun and my "kind" of table.
