Which PAPA Tournament favorite would you like in TPA

[rob3d]

Besides the world championship, PAPA organizes several tournaments throughout the year. After watching their awesome live twitch streams I've noticed there are a couple games that make repeat appearances because they are either challenging or have interesting rulesets. After one of their streams I always walk away with a new must have for TPA. We already have most of their goto machines, but which of these 13 would you like to see.

Voting for the ones I played at the UK Pinball Party and loved - EBD, Congo, The Shadow and Robocop (a bit simple but fun). Most of them are based on licenses that would require a Kickstarter, but wouldn't be successful. So probably no-gos.

 

[Captain B. Zarre]

Voted for:

- Red and Ted's Road Show
- Indianapolis 500
- Congo
- Johnny Mnemonic
- Demolition Man
- Robocop

My Lucky 7:

The Shadow
F-14 Tomcat
Red & Ted's Road Show
Eight Ball Deluxe
Johnny Mnemonic
Demolition Man
Godzilla

Only a few of those might be realistic,but I can dream,right?

hmmm...... waht's the point of poll in which one can choose more than 50% of what is offered? I would like to see them all, but if I have to choose one......the shadow.

Picked Alien Star just because of it's obscurity, didn't even know it existed before PAPA 17 and had fun watching it.

F-14 Tomcat
Eight Ball Deluxe
Red & Ted's Roadshow
Comet

Congo was the 1st pin I played at the Florida Arecade and Pinball Expo this year, and it was love at 1st plunge.

I was thinking with BSD coming we might have a shot at some of the crappier movie licenses. One can dream

I was gonna limit the votes to 3 but I figured it's not really an "either, or" kinda poll. I was just curious if anyone familiar with the PAPA tourneys gained any new favs.

I was amazed at the kind of action you could get out of that spinner. And despite being a game with a single lucrative shot, it takes skill to set it up and get the most out of it with those massive outlanes. Add the fact that the bonus on the spinner will only activate while its stopped, makes it really challenging.

They had extra fat rubbers on those outlanes and the pros were still draining after thousand point balls. Seemed like a lot of fun.

Maybe a kickstarter for a whole season, or half season, of medium licensed tables would work. But I think that in order for it to work, farsight needs to increase its transparency. Be more open about costs, development progress and increase communication with users to regain trust. Now it's so hush-hush and I think it's doing them more harm than good. Broken promise after broken promise. Silent treatment. Hiding your head in the sand won't make the problem go away, it'll only get worse. The facebook (and to some extent forum) comments are escalating in aggressivity and it's close to lynch-mob mode. That is, from the few that are still hangin on and haven't jumped ship.
Reliability and trust is at all time low.

Eight Ball Deluxe, duh.

 

[Rich Lehmann]

Anything but R&T, there is already one too many tables in TPA with an annoying creepy-eyed ventriloquist head.

 

[Lord Boron]

One I would like to see that isn't on the list, but seems to show up at PAPA quite a bit it Future Spa.

 

[BStarfire]

Comet - my all time favorite pin. Great fun on its own, and great competitive game.

Hell yeah!
