What's your favourite table you know will never come to TPA?

Mousin' around
Fire!
Police Force
Bally's Game Show

Actually, these stand a good chance of making the cut at some point.

I think it comes down to the FIFA license. I don't believe any player names are mentioned in the game (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) and it's not like you'd have to pay for the mention of a country. The dog mascot would have to be addressed too, but that might even be covered under FIFA.

All in all I think this table is certainly more likely than say NBA Fastbreak, but the fact FarSight skipped over releasing at same time as World Cup doesn't bode well. Maybe someone should bring that up with them, ask if they even considered doing a coinciding release. Certainly more likely to get an answer to that than if they are going to or what the licensing hold up is.

And by the way, it is a really fun table. A bit clogged in the middle like an hourglass, but that's my only gripe. Shooting goals is very satisfying.

If need be, they could always change the name to something like "Football Championship" and some of the art (change W-O-R-L-D-C-U-P TO F-O-O-T-B-A-L-L or any other word(s) that have 8 letters) and you'd have it, except for Striker, the USA dog. He is a problem because he's featured extensively on the DMD, and eliminating him would mean redoing a lot of the animations.
Chances are, though, if we were to have seen this it would have been released around the world cup.

I actually think JP could be had - with the new movie coming it could generate publicity.

It could also make the license more expensive.

I highly doubt it.
Maybe Fire! in season... 6 ?

Highly, highly doubtful...at least based on on the Top Ten Farsight Polls, and based on comments made by Farsight whenever these get requested.

Baby Pac-Man, Granny and the Gators, Caveman, and any other video/pin games. I know for sure the licensing on Baby Pac would be hard given it was unlicensed to begin with. Then there's the issue of emulating the games and everything. Oh yeah, on the topic of Pac-Man, also Mr. and Mrs. Pac-Man.

 

[Man-Machine]

Flash and Paragon.

I like avatar.

Eventually we will run out of unlicensed DMD games, so I see System 11 games coming like Fire!, Mousin Around, Bad Cats, Cyclone, Police Force, Bally's Gameshow, and Many, Many, and Many more. I would love those over early 80's (except for Xenon) and EM machines. I could seriously see them coming eventually.

That would be just fine with me.

Would love it if that happened. Always said from the beginning my dream was to have the complete system 11 lineup in TPA

Still pining for Rollergames, basically 100% guaranteed to never make it. I can't imagine getting licenses for Splice, Thermos and GamePro would be easy! Unless they're all-encompassed into the license WMS initially drew up for the game... hmmm.

 

[David T. Melnick]

The Wizard of Oz. The GUI right now seems streamlined for a dot matrix display or other display of similar dimensions, and the monitor for Wizard of Oz needs the dimensions it's in to display everything intended. It's also a very new table, and its price means I'll never see it on location nor can I afford one.

After that is NBA Fastbreak, since the current NBA would not be interested in licensing a product from like 15 years ago. For the same reason, I don't think we'll ever see Stern's NBA, another machine I'd like to try but won't anytime soon because of its scarcity.

-----------
likewise; I doubt that that will come ever or a long time at best.

 

[David T. Melnick]

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

------------
definitely love SP. Expect that to be tough to get.

Cosmic Princess, or any other early-period Stern for that matter. I don't think we'll see any these if the actual selections have any correlation with the voting.

Seawitch placed 9th in the Stern/Data East/Sega poll last year, so I think it has a healthy chance of seeing the light of day, but aside from Seawitch (and F2K), Catacomb is the only other classic Stern with even a puncher's chance of making the cut. Sadly, this probably means that Lightning will never make its TPA debut...

I would love to see Bally's Mr. & Mrs. Pac-Man but i think the payment for the rights are playing in a higher league.
