[QUOTE="JoshuaKadmon, post: 22064, member: 1046"] Since Data East and Sega tables are included under the Stern license, FarSight has the ability to pursue any machine manufactured by the Big Six. But what does that leave out? The way I figure it, there aren't many great tables excluded from FarSight's licensing agreements. I'm sure it would be difficult to get Disney to allow Pirates of the Caribbean or TRON: Legacy, but most of the newest tables would be tough due to emulation differences, anyway. George Lucas whores out his Star Wars and Indiana Jones IPs to all kinds of products, from convenience store novelty suckers to weird LEGO cross-promotion, so as long as FarSight coughs up the cash, Star Wars by Data East or Indiana Jones the Pinball Adventure by Williams should be relatively easy to acquire. The Capcom tables are out, of course, but that's really just Big Bang Bar and Pinball Magic. Unless you count Airborne, that is, but Williams already has a better fighter jet table with F-14 anyway. Atari had Superman, Hercules, The Atarians, and a handful of others, but none were that good. Zaccaria's only noteworthy table in the US was Farfalla, and Mars Trek or Butterfly from Sonic are probably too old (both EM tables) for anyone to care. Mystery Castle from Alvin G. would have been nice, but again, there are similar and superior tables under the Williams and Gottlieb licenses. Game Plan has a handful of noteworthy machines that we won't get a chance to play, like Andromeda, Cyclopes, and Agents 777. And while Unidesa was a Spanish/European manufacturer, I must admit that Mephisto was a dang cool table. Still, the point here is that FarSight has covered 99% of the great machines in its four primary licenses. There won't be much that we can't get, so I hope FarSight keeps TPA going for a few years to cover my Top 100 or so.... Here's hoping. [/QUOTE]
