[QUOTE="JoshuaKadmon, post: 32806, member: 1046"] I've got an idea. Instead of FS worrying about overpriced music licenses, SAM emulation, messy Warner and Disney/Marvel licensing, etc... Maybe they should just buy a NASCAR [Stern 2005] (or Grand Prix if they want to save money on licensing), pair it with Central Park [Gottlieb 1966] (which they may already own or have access to from PHoF), and they can just declare those as the "bookend" tables, with no future releases in TPA to be earlier than 1966 or later than 2005. We would have a defined 40-year period to draw from, it would continue the table pairing trend, and we could all get back to anticipating golden age machines. Personally, I don't care if we ever see original table designs in TPA. To me, TPA is all about the historic recreations, and original tables should be reserved for a separate FS product. The recent Sterns just aren't worth the hassle or the money, and few people have any interest in FS going back to tables from the 30's to 50's. Limiting TPA to a 1966-2005 time frame could manage expectations and get people focused on TPA's most important qualities. Like I've said before, there are enough quality machines from that era to keep FS busy for at least a 4-year/100-table run. Anything outside of that seems to be more of a distraction than actually making TPA a better game. But again, that's just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
