Well, after hearing about the EA exclusive license Monopoly now comes to mind.. along with most of the good big license Data East and Stern tables.

Indiana Jones and Batman, those were the Tables I played with as a kid

I wish...those are GREAT tables.

Also, another one I don't think we'll see is Rocky and Bullwinkle, I played it a while back on Visual Pinball and it was a nice table

There's one at a pizza joint here in Kutztown. I really like it too. We could really use a fun cartoon themed pin in TPA.

 

[Michael Taylor]

Yeah, but for cartoon Tables, a lot of people are going to say stuff like Simpsons or South Park, but personally, I'd like to see Rocky and Bullwinkle on TPA someday despite 1. It being a Data East game, 2. it being a licensed game and 3. it being a challenging table

2. it being a licensed game and

All comic based tables are licensed, including South park.
I'd prefer Bullwinkle, too.

I played the real thing a long time ago. Much, much better than the Zen version in PFX2.

But still, Farsight still would have to get the rights from the current owners of not only said cartoon tables, but also the owner of the Data East property

 

[Kolchak357]

They have the rights to Data East tables. They would just need the cartoon license.

Oh okay, I didn't know that because I thought according to the currently Seasons, all they had the properties for was Williams, Bally, Gottlieb and Stern tables. Guess I learn something new every day xD
As for Cartoon License, I'm pretty sure that the Rocky and Bullwinkle license would be a LOT easier to get than South Park's and Simpsons' Licenses

 

[Kolchak357]

Data East and Sega pins fall under the Stern license. They just haven't made any yet.

I would think the Rocky and Bullwinkle license would be much cheaper and easier to acquire than the Simpsons or Southpark. But you never know with these things. There is also question as to whether Farsight is currently able to perform ROM emulation on those two systems.

I thought TPA always used ROM Emulation, otherwise Farsight will also need to emulate Rocky and Bullwinkle's Magic Hat Backglass as well if the table WAS to happen

Some of the early SS pins (Black Knight for example) as well as the EMs (EMs can not be emulated obviously) are not emulated. They were scripted. As far as we know they do not have emulation worked out for the newest Stern pins as well. We don't know if they can emulate Data East or Sega. I don't think they have ever mentioned if they can or not.
If they were to recreate R&B, I'm sure they would only do it with ROM emulation and I don't think the magic hat backglass would be an issue. They have done animated backglasses before such as Scared Stiff.

If they can emulate Stern Whitestar, then they can do Sega Whitestar as well.

After watching YouTube videos of the actual machine being played (and probably won't happen due to licensing issues) but I'd LOVE to see Red and Ted's Road Show to go along with Funhouse

This one seems to have very small licensing issues.
I think we could see it appears in season 4.

Yeah, but even the smallest licensing issues can be a hurdle to get through, I'm not sure of Carlene Carter would allow the porting to happen due to her being the voice of Red

I really think we will see it.
Pretty soon.
