Classic Stern Poll - Official FarSight Poll (Closed)

[canuck]

Nice touch with the 'tidal sounds' on seawitch

 

[JavaJack]

The correct answer is, of course, "All of the above!"

 

[kimkom]

Karl and Void, thanks fellas!

I'm thinking that perhaps FarSight should do a table pack of the top three! Modelling work would be minimal compared to the more complicated tables.

A few of the tables are featured on this guy's YouTube channel:

Seawitch looks great!

Never played any of these, but after diligent research (thanks for providing links!), voted Flight 2000 based on playfield features. Would be happy with most of the others, and Trident would've been my next vote.

 

[gooche77]

Make mine Seawitch.

 

[warh0g]

I was deciding between Flight 2000 and Seawitch, I went with Flight 2000. Will be interesting to see which table will come out on top!

 

[Sean DonCarlos]

So many choices, but I'm going to have to go with Seawitch here.

 

[Palmer Eldritch]

Flight 2000.. the feels when you activate the multiball...

 

[smooverr]

Seawitch

 

[Kemetman72]

I am going with Catacomb. I really like the artwork and theme and gameplay.

 

[drdrey]

Catacomb. But would love to have all of them

 

[canuck]

Do the top two and make it a special $5 pack!

 

[brakel]

Gotta go with Flight 2000, although Seawitch is a close second. Meteor is licensed. When you see the copyright on the backglass, it says something along the lines of "1979 American International Pictures."

MY guess is that Meteor's license is less than Ripley's. FarSight can afford the lower cost licensing fees.

Flight 2000 for sure. Steve Ritchie's favorite Stern. First talking Stern. Harry Williams designed it at 70+ years of age (or possibly reworked the design for Gamatron, a story in and of itself). Fun skill shot on the right side drop targets. Lots of finesse and nudging needed to catch all the rollovers. Really just a fun game.

If it is Flight 2000, they should offer a Pro version with a few extra options, like letting balls shot into the launcher get passed through instead of being relocked or that all point values double during multiball. One of the few flaws in the game for me is that you fight so hard to get the multiball and once you've got it there's very little you can do with it besides relock the balls and try to get it again. The left spinner is the only thing that gets increased in value and if you shoot for it you're going to relock the ball.

Catacomb, just because.

 

[Ark Malmeida]

Flight 2000 for me with Catacomb a close second.

This is exact thought process I ended up going through, with Seawitch also coming close. Loved the art on both Catacomb and Seawitch but Flight 2000 just looked like it had cool things to do on the table.

Having not played any of them it was a tough choice!

 

[Pinballwiz45b]

I went for Flight 2000. Instant classic, although all of them are good.

 

[DaPinballWizard]

OMG. Flight 2000 PLEASE!!! I pumped so many quarters into that machine. The others aren't even in the same league.

 

[DaPinballWizard]

Flight 2000 is such a fantastic table it isn't even funny. My all time favorite table. It had everything. Speech, great multiball, an awesome spinner. Great game play. A true classic. Just hope they set it for 5 balls per play. That's how I played it growing up.

 

[DaPinballWizard]

Meteor! Looks more exiting. All of them seems like borin to me so. Meteor it's the cream of the crap.

Maybe cream of the CRAP, but Flight 2000 is by far the cream of the crop.
