Where is Sorcerer?

[sedated]

So I just noticed FS has released just about every table from both the Williams and Gottlieb collections they did for consoles and handhelds into seasons 1 and 2, no Sorcerer though.

somewhere on the board i read they swapped the license to make Fish Tales, till they could hammer out a new Williams deal. Considering digital pinball fans are so familiar with Sorcerer and it is highly requested, on top of being an awesome table, hopefully means we'll see it one day.

They don't have the physical table anymore.

Not exactly. What happened was, they ran out of Williams licenses, so they chose to do Fish Tales instead of Sorcerer. They can only do a set number of Williams tables at a time before they have to renew their license, but it doesn't matter what those tables are.

I would like to see this one get in eventually as well.

I would also like to see this table in TPA. I actually wouldn't mind seeing Jive Time. I had some good fun with that table and it was a really challenging table. I also would like Bally's Nip-it. I think it looks like it plays good and saw the live PAPA video on it. It's kinda neat with the gator, zipper flippers, a gate on the right side, and a multiball! Also, it was featured in Happy Days! Please Farsight, bring these tables to TPA!

I thought Farsight renewed the Williams license, Since they've done HS and BK2K, and Earthshaker is apparently next up. So the way should be clear to do Sorcerer.

Yep!

Yes, and it's not just those. Most of the games they released last season fall under the WMS license agreement.

Black Rose, Diner, Junk Yard, WHO Dunnit, and BSD all fall under it.

I really hope they don't do Sorcerer any time soon. And here's why: I recall a Facebook rep say that if they did Sorcerer, they wouldn't be able to use assets and would have to start from scratch. I take this to mean that they would be charging 5 dollars for this re-release and then use it as evidence that ems don't sell well.

If they were to change their mind and package it with another table, then I would say, "go for it."

Sorcerer is a Solid State with two ball multiball, not an EM. i never owned the older digital pinball collection it was in so i would have less of a problem paying the premium price. It'd be like buying a table like Diner to me.

Regardless, I've played a real Sorcerer many times and it is a super fun table with a great flow so I'd like to see it in TPA one day.

Sorcerer ?
No thanks.

I think Sorcerer should have been one of the first TPA tables. I'd still love to see it, but I'm hoping we get Road Show, Getaway, Banzai Run, and Cyclone first. It's one of the earlier real pinball tables I got into, last seen at a local pool hall in summer 2000, since closed.

Sorcerer is the one real table I would actually buy if I had the money. Oh well, there's always PHOF.

No thanks.

Sorcerer is a classic. I've been waiting for it since season 1. Once in a while I break out the old wii and have a go at it in the Williams collection. C'mon FS make it so! Dedpop, the answer is relative.

Sorcerer isn't even an early solid state in my book. It was released very late in the numeric period and uses System 9 hardware, which is very similar to System 11.

I just never could get into it.
And I remember it as a real drain monster.
But it's only my opinion. And it's relative.

I do the same on the PS3...I love "Sorcerer".

I'm hoping they package it with the EM this season, which will hopefully be "Fireball".

I'm always playing on PSP. I miss this table a lot on TPA.
