NOT officially sanctioned by FarSight... just for fun/curiosity... what are your TOP 10 GOTTLIEB/PREMIER tables of what's left, that you would like to see on The Pinball Arcade?

Poll maximum is 30 selections (you can vote for up to 10), so I've tried my best to cram most of the fan favorites into it. If there's a table you wish had been included, my apologies. I have also omitted any tables heavily rumored or pretty much confirmed for future release.

Info about each of the choices can be found at the links below, thanks to the IPDB...

Alien Star (1984)
Arena (1987)
Bad Girls (1988)
Big House (1989)
Bone Busters Inc. (1989)
Bounty Hunter (1985)
Cactus Jack’s (1991)
Count-Down (1979)
Devil's Dare (1982)
Diamond Lady (1988)
Excalibur (1988)
Genesis (1986)
Gladiators (1993)
Gold Wings (1986)
Hollywood Heat (1986)
Joker Poker (1978)
Mars God of War (1981)
Monte Carlo (1987)
Operation : Thunder (1992)
Raven (1986)
Robo-War (1988)
Rock Encore (1986)
Roller Disco (1980)
Solar Ride (1979)
Spirit (1982)
Spring Break (1987)
Surf 'n Safari (1991)
TX-Sector (1988)
Volcano (1981)
Wipe Out (1993)

Interested to see what the results will be. Just thought this would be fun as Season Three winds down and Season Four approaches. :)

I won't vote for ten, only the ones I really want. I'm trimming the fat. I don't want FS thinking my tenth favorite on this list should be made.

1. Joker Poker
2. TX-Sector
3. Genesis
4. Devil's Dare
5. Bone Busters Inc

In that order. The top two really stand above all others. But opinions vary (Roadhouse).

So that's probably why F-14, TOMMY, didn't make it on these... All in all, looks like there isnt 1 standout table with 200 votes, so that's nice

I will be putting together a separate poll with all the licensed tables, based on shows/movies/games/etc. later on.

I LOVE Rescue 911 also!

Good to hear.

I voted, although it was hard. Either I didn't like the majority of them or the majority of them looked horrible. My votes were:

- Bone Busters
- Raven
- TX-Sector
- Wipe Out

Excalibur and Arena had some interesting playfield features; I also like the sound and target action on Devil's Dare, Joker Poker and Robo War.

While these are by no means official polls, I voted for a few of the "true" Gottlieb and a couple Premier tables (TX Sector and Wipe-Out).

Who knows, maybe these will become a new standard bearer for tables moving forward. So I made sure not to vote too many since I never want to see another end of season 2 debacle ever occur again.

I voted for ten, but tried to make sure they were machines I'd really want to play. Some of them are quite uninspired to be sure. Where's the new Stern poll - or are we abandoning any hope of older Sterns appearing again? It would be a shame as Catacombs and others looked really promising.

Wes is putting out more polls. These are a lot of work and I think he is trying to put maximum effort to get the best rated tables available and also really try to keep licensed stuff out, which is far from easy to figure out. He is doing a great job but it is taking extra time.

Stern and Data East polls are now up.

Not looking good for Hollywood Heat, thus far. :(

But, how about that surprising early showing for Bad Girls! Didn't see that coming at all.

Monte Carlo is making a respectable showing. As is Gladiators. Gladiators is highly underrated, in my opinion.

Very surprised to see TX-Sector leading this one. :eek: I thought for sure Wipe Out would take the lead and run with it.

We may all be visiting the disco pinball dimension before too long. :)

Yeah I noticed TX-Sector was being mentioned more often this year. I did end up playing a few games on it recently and it seemed middle of the road to me. May not have had enough time on it to get in sync with whatever the hook is.
