Message: <blockquote data-quote="JoshuaKadmon" data-source="post: 22189" data-attributes="member: 1046">All that being said, I do agree that Cyclone would be better than Comet, Doctor Who would only be worth a shot once FarSight has put a respectable dent in other licensed IPs, and since the original TRON remains one of my favorite films of all time I would certainly LIKE FarSight to shoot for Legacy's inclusion.  I understand if FarSight continues to optimize production cost versus profit by pairing expensive licenses with originals from their PHoF collections, but the important thing is that they CONTINUE to include those licensed tables.  If we get Scared Stiff, I'm okay with it getting packed with Haunted House (a Gottlieb original that I love, but costs FS no additional licensing money).  If we get an updated Victory from the Gottlieb collection, I would hope that it gets packed with another anticipated table like The Getaway: High Speed II.  And if Firepower gets ported from the Williams Collection, I hope FarSight will consider cool possible pairings like Buck Rogers [Gottlieb 1980].  So yes, we're on the same page.Oh, and as another good example - I would really like to see Krull from Gottlieb, 1983.  Sure, Gottlieb only made 10 machines and cancelled mass production after the movie flopped at the box office, but it was a unique table that very few people ever got to play.  Following Haunted House in 1982, it was among the first tables to have a three-level playfield, and its reduction lens that made the underground section look deceptively deep was considered revolutionary at the time.  Its rarity and unique features should make it more interesting to include in TPA, despite it never having a chance to reach players' Top 40 or Pinside's/IPDB's ratings.  The Krull license should be fairly easy to acquire, or at least MUCH simpler than Star Trek or Twilight Zone.  As you said, we need to see some underground favorites, some rare tables that few players have touched, and some landmarks that were important to the industry.  So far, I think we're seeing evidence that FS is shooting for the same goal.  After all, Gorgar rarely shows up on a Top 100, but it is historically significant as being the first pinball machine with a voice.</blockquote>
