Request Williams System 11 games

[Rudy Yagov]

Hey there, first time poster, long time fan. I've notcied that there aren't any System 11 games currently announced other than the ones from PHOF, so I was curious to see what kind of interest there was in these tables. Lots of great designs from the era, and they provide a nice middle ground between early SS and newer DMD games. Lots of pinball's most famous designers, like Pat Lawlor and the Ritchie brothers, made a bunch of great tables during this period as well.

So, what are your opinions? Should there be more of them? Are you a fan of these kind of games?

For this gigantic poll, I only included Williams games that weren't already in PHOF (Taxi, Pin*Bot, Whirlwind) since they're likely to be re-released anyway. Some notable Bally games, like Elvira and the Party Monsters and Dr. Dude, also ran on System 11 hardware, but I omitted them to keep the list shorter.

EDIT: Please limit your votes! Try to aim for around 5 or so.

Are you kidding? Bring them all!

 

[Jeff Strong]

I vote all as well, but if I have to pick just one....probably F-14 Tomcat.

 

[PiN WiZ]

I voted for all as well.

 

[Rudy Yagov]

Poll's multiple choice for a reason! I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants more of these games. Of course all of them would be ideal, but my top 5 picks would be High Speed, F-14 Tomcat, Cyclone, Earthshaker, and Diner.

Then you should have put a limit on how many we can pick. We're all pinball fanatics...remember?

 

[Rudy Yagov]

Yeah but that's not as much fun!

 

[Brian Clark]

I voted all too. So much goodness with System 11. Top 5 would probably be Earthshaker, BK 2000, Cyclone, High Speed, and Banzai Run.

Some notable Bally games, like Elvira and the Party Monsters and Dr. Dude, also ran on System 11 hardware, but I omitted them to keep the list shorter.

These were also hinted at and are very likely to come to Pinball Arcade, as well.

Earthshakeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!

 

[PiN WiZ]

Putting a five pick limit would have shown us which, of all the tables you listed, everyone wants the most. Now that would have been interesting.

You're right, that would have been a better idea. It's already starting to deviate a bit though!

I limited myself to just 9 picks! I seriously do wish to see them all but I went with the ones I truly enjoy or would like to play. A five pick limit would have been more interesting but so tough! I would love to see a poll redone with that limit.

 

[Jeff Strong]

I had to go with Earthshaker, as well as F-14 Tomcat.

 

[Rudy Yagov]

I new poll would require a new thread, right?

You don't have to start a new thread, this one's fine.

 

[Jeff Strong]

Yeah, I think so.

EDIT: yeah what PW said

 

[Rudy Yagov]

I guess so. Even if there's a wall of pins with the same vote, the more popular ones still pulled ahead. I'll just edit the first post to advise limiting votes.

 

[Jeff Strong]

You can make a new one if you want though.

 

[Rudy Yagov]

It's cool.

On the subject, has anyone played Grand Lizard? Looks like a pretty interesting game. Sort of Black Knight-ish, and it even has magna-save.

Bit pointless this vote if you can select all tables, should of limited it to just 3
