Your Top 10 Most Wanted "No License Issues" tables for TPA?

[Fungi]

That's funny. That's an American Football game prominent in the flyer.

 

[Rudy Yagov]

It is, but apparently the field was used for soccer during the world cup.

 

[Fungi]

Well of course they had to use it then. Afterall, it's so hard to find a photo of a soccer game.

@Rudy

I only know that "The Getaway" uses the song La Grange by ZZ Top. Maybe there is another table in your list that requires such licenses.

[Edit]

As I see, you have talked about this issue before.

 

[Sumez]

Yes, it is a licensed product.

Hrm, for an event that happened in 1994? Surely that shouldn't be a big issue?

the license holder is FIFA, it's not like the 94 world cup is some one-off event that took place in a bubble

Filtered once again, this time only with tables that are new enough for emulation. Also removed White Water and Cactus Canyon. As with last time, all confirmed and released tables are omitted.

Whitewater is a confirmed table?!

EDIT: Very cool list BTW

That depends on your definition of "confirmed." Has Farsight announced the table? No. Has Farsight allowed pictures to be released which feature a table that the community is 99% certain is Whitewater? Yes.

So we know they have a table in their possession, at least. (Or so we think.)

Shutyertrap knows. Hey SYT! Knock once if they have a WW, twice if they don't! Hello? Anyone there? Sorry, he ain't answerin'.

What, they're planning on having another 1994 world cup?

 

[SpiffyRob]

The license extends to the "Striker" character as well, I'm sure.

Not that they're likely to use him ever again, but it's still an agreement that would need to be reached.

 

[Deathtickle]

1) Highspeed
2) Diner
3) White Water
4) Gone Fishing
5) F-14 Tomcat

no it means FIFA retains the rights to any world cup, past or future. come on, son.

 

[Sumez]

I'm not saying there's no license involved, I'm just wondering that it would really be an issue.

I guess one thing that could be an issue, is if EA has exclusive rights to any video games related to FIFA. Well, at least the "FIFA" brand isn't used in WCS94's title, that would have been a surefire dead cause.

In no particular order:

1. Safe Cracker - The redemption game idea might be a bit pointless in a virtual pinball game but it would be cool regardless.

I think the best they could do is have a "Magic Token Gallery" just for that, to view all the tokens that can be won in-game and a counter of how many you have of each.It would be easier to neglect this, but collecting coins that are launched down to you is the main feature of the game aside from the board game. It would be a fantastic side-feature for this table, and there is a potential acheivement for getting all of the tokens (a royal pain to really do though). The same could be applied to Slugfest (best as a bonus novelty), but that might be a pain to liscense considering that Slugfest dispenses actual baseball cards, and the only way around that is probably making fictional cards of whatever.

 

[Arjan]

Here's mine to start us off:

1. White Water
2. Fish Tales
3. Champion Pub
4. Black Rose
5. Banzai Run
6. Class of 1812
7. Who Dunnit
8. Hurricane (or Cyclone)
9. Diner
10. Mousin' Around

There are a few tables that some might think of in this category, but do actually have some kind of a license issues, like The Getaway ("La Grande" by ZZ Top) & Road Show (licensed music by some Country act). I also left off tables from Makers that FS doesn't have a deal with (to my knowledge), like Pinball Magic (by Capcom), and Mystery Castle (by Alvin G & Co.).

So, which "easy to do" tables would you all like to see most?

If I had to chose from these tables, then definately Fishtales, White Water and Banzai Run would be nice too, the others I wouldn't even consider buying unless I have to because they were inside a pack from which I want the other table.

You're in luck. Centaur is confirmed and is going to happen this year. It was voted on by this community and narrowly (and I mean narrowly) beat out Eight Ball Deluxe.

Centaur?? Eight ball Deluxe?? Come on! Boring tables! No rules at all....

 

[Sean DonCarlos]

Centaur?? Eight ball Deluxe?? Come on! Boring tables! No rules at all....

What are you talking about? I've played both tables. Believe me, they have rules and scope for strategic play.

 

[Andassaran]

I wouldn't mind seeing Fathom in TPA. I've played the real machine and I like the ruleset.

Very surprised by this comment. Have you played them?
