[QUOTE="Richard B, post: 8156, member: 306"] One that comes to mind is Gilligan's Island. This wouldn't have been unusual at all in the 1960's, when the show was on the air, but seemed a bit out of place in 1991, when the table was released. Then there are those that are laughable now because the films they were based on were notorious flops, such as Last Action Hero, Barb Wire, and Waterworld. However, the developers had no way of knowing that at the time. Stern has had some strange licenses recently. Monopoly, Elvis, Ripley's Believe it or Not, the Sopranos, and Wheel of Fortune are not the first things that come to mind when dreaming up licenses. I was going to include NFL, World Poker Tour, and Roller Coaster Tycoon, but tables based on sports and card games been around almost since the industry began, and RCT is as much inspired by Williams "roller coaster trilogy", as the PC game on which the license is based. Anyone know of any other unusual licenses or themes? [/QUOTE]
