[QUOTE="CC13, post: 93025, member: 1151"] I completely agree. I also wouldn't count out RCT, either–it seems to have some strong support here, especially after Gary Stern's Freudian slip concerning that table. The road to Pinball Power won't be an easy one for it, though–almost any table here could hold its own in the field of 96. Moving on, we come to one of my favorite conferences: Cosmos' Heart (Non-Big-Six solid-states & other oddities): Airborne (Capcom) Big Bang Bar (Capcom) Breakshot (Capcom) Cactus Canyon (Bally) Champion Pub (Bally) Devil Riders (Zaccaria) Farfalla (Zaccaria) Full Throttle (Heighway) Joust (Williams) Kingpin (Capcom) Pinball Magic (Capcom) Predator (Skit-B) Revenge From Mars (Bally) Safe Cracker (Bally) Superman (Atari) The Wizard of Oz (Jersey Jack) Cosmos' Heart is a tough conference to get a read on. All of these tables have some impressive upsides, but could also find themselves laid low by some pretty hairy downsides (Full Throttle & Predator haven't even been released yet, AFAIK). Still, the balance of probabilities does point in certain directions and my quick read is that Big Bang Bar (for its rarity), Cactus Canyon (rarity plus Cactus Canyon Continued) and The Wizard of Oz (for all the hype that Jack Guarnieri and his crew have built up around the machine) will be very difficult to stop (particularly the latter, once JJP sort out their issues with distribution). Others also have the potential to make a run, with the ones I favor most being Breakshot (just for the idea of a DMD update to EM-era design philosophy), Champion Pub (which seems to have been relatively well-received in TPA), Revenge From Mars (Tilt! helped to soften attitudes towards this one significantly, from what I've heard & seen) and Safe Cracker (NEVER underestimate Pat Lawlor). Still, like I said, I have much less confidence in my calls here than I have had in my looks at previous conferences, so I'd be interested in hearing what you guys think of this one... [/QUOTE]
