[QUOTE="CC13, post: 47955, member: 1151"] Here are my own Top 10 Most Wanted "No License Issues" Tables For 2013. I restricted myself to tables that have not, to the best of my knowledge, been announced yet: 10. Who Dunnit?: This has to make it in on the strength of the oddball theme alone. To my knowledge, this is the only murder-mystery-themed pin out there. The lack of a wizard mode may put some off, but I think it could help it to stand out from the crowded DMD field in TPA. 9. Lights...Camera...Action!: From what I've seen of this pin, it looks like great fun. The modes look decently varied, the shots look challenging and the theme works very well with the design of the pin. I especially like the backbox animation that you activate to get your mystery award. 8. Champion Pub: This table has all the makings of a real winner. With a main mode that focuses the entire table, plenty of side modes to mix things up and a great theme & atmosphere, I would love to have this in my TPA collection. The emphasis on once-per-game modes may rub some people the wrong way, but it certainly provides a sense of immediacy to the proceedings! 7. Jack*Bot: I love the take on the gambling theme, I love how much this table is a love letter to Williams' past and I would love to see this together with my #1 pick as a sort of "sequels pack". Besides, we need this table to round out the only pinball trilogy of which I am aware. 6. Safe Cracker: It's commonly thought that pinball doesn't mesh well with other genres, but Pat Lawlor managed to put paid to that notion in 1996 with this little gem. Few other designers could have meshed pinball with a board game so well, but the three wizard modes, collectable tokens and unique time-based play mechanics also help this one stand out from the crowd. I do have questions about how the tokens would be implemented, but once those are answered, I want this table ASAP! 5. High Speed: Everything just works with this one. The flow is fantastic, the rules have just enough depth to be interesting and the cars theme is well-implemented. Steve Ritchie's work hasn't gotten nearly enough exposure on TPA and High Speed would go a long way towards rectifying that. 4. Big Guns: Fantasy/sci-fi mash-ups don't happen too often, especially when it comes to pinball, so that alone would make this worthy of consideration. With the ingenious launchers, a great sound package and the addition of the backbox bagatelle, this table rises to the level of an all-time classic. 3. Junkyard: This needs to be in based on the Time Machine modes alone. The Time Machine was a great tribute to Williams' pinball legacy and I'm sure that many TPA players will appreciate this one immensely. There are also plenty of other such shoutouts sprinkled in throughout the rest of the game, so anyone with a pinball background will really like this one. 2. Haunted House: Haunted House is legendary on the TPA forums with good reason—the three layers of the table make it one of the most complex designs ever conceived, the sound package is great for the era and the rules balance the possibilities of each layer very well. This would be a great pin to pick up around Halloween. 1. Black Knight 2000: Why haven't we gotten this one already? It has everything a pinball wizard could want—great sound, excellent flow, plenty of challenging shots and the first wizard mode in pinball history. This is my most wanted table for 2013, unlicensed or otherwise. Honorable Mention: Sin: Yes, I want Sean DonCarlos' very own pinball design on display for anyone who has TPA to play for themselves. Obviously, I don't know much about it yet, but it would be a great tribute to one of TPA's most vocal and well-respected fans and I'm sure it will also turn out to be a great pinball table in its own right.
