With the CACTUS CANYON LE on its way to me from the Windy City as I compose this post - and from what I am hearing the long wait was worth it in view of the sublime product that was made, not to mention glorious vindication for the initial disdain for the title - I am wondering what may be on the horizon. Yes, CGC is moving forward with their own new game (PULP FICTION) so they may not be aiming to approach the next re-make anytime soon. There are some pinball enthusiasts who have predicted there won't be any further re-makes, but I tend to think there will be at some point. If there are plans to add to this super-successful line (I will now own all four like many others in this hobby, and all LEs with toppers except for the MMR, which is standard) the usual suspects always emerge, save for the once mentioned BIG BANG BAR, a machine that appeared on the original press release of titles being considered. Personally I am not looking forward to THEATRE OF MAGIC, though for those who love it I can extend some hope for them. Rather, two other titles excite me: CIRQUS VOLTAIRE and TALES OF THE ARABIAN NIGHTS, prospects that combine aesthetic beauty with splendid play. Of course THE ADDAMS FAMILY, INDIANA JONES and THE TWILIGHT ZONE would be wonderful, but license issues (and they did after all make 20,000 TAF machines, I believe, even if there are few nice ones left in the market anymore) make their chances slim for consideration. So aside from the aformentioned BBB, CV, TOTAN and TOM (the likely titles being considered based on past announcements) we have WHITEWATER, CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, and another title a few of the experts here adore, PUNCHY THE CLOWN. Anyway, should anyone wish to make a prediction and/or state a preference, please do so in the provided poll or in the comments. Many thanks. A tiny minority of pinsiders took exception to this post, (hence the downvotes you see on it) with one behind-the-scenes poster telling me it is "irrelevent" because a similar post went up last year. Yet, with the advent of PULP FICTION, priorities at CGC have clearly shifted to some degree. Even with politeness and appreciation, the waters at pinside can be rough. I've seen this in the past. 116 pinsiders have cast a ballot as of Saturday, April 1st at 1:30 p.m. Thanks so much.

Well my friend, you do make an excellent point there.

Really? You don't say. Do they include the latest officially confirmed development and/or complications with the just-announced PULP FICTION and how that news might impact the company's plans moving forward? I don't think so. And am I "allowed" to post without obtaining permission? There are tons of posts at this forum that revisit subjects because some aspects of the posts may have changed. I posted here politely asking for opinions, nothing more. I am NOT a newbie and own all four CGC re-makes. I have participated dating back years on all or most CGC threads. But thanks for the advice. I am rather delighted that 86 people have already voted on this thread!

JustEverett, I have search the forum and in fact have COMMENTED on the posts others are breaking my balls about. I even STARTED one a few years ago!!! I thought - in view of the PULP FICTION announcement - it would be fair game and interesting to see where people stand NOW, and didn't see any harm in revisiting an interesting subject. I am not forcing YOU to participate. And I think I am in my rights to offer this query without obtaining clearance. UNREAL!!!!!!

I asked for a vote. That's it. A vote. I wasn't attempting to enlighten you or anyone else. I asked potential voters to voice an opinion as to what machine they thought would be next or what machine they preferred. I was polite. YOU on the other hand were NOT.

I am getting heat for posting on a subject I thought was fair game. I was polite and appreciative. Nonetheless, I have tried to delete the entire thread, but it seems only a moderator can do that. Robin, if you see this thread would you consider removing it. Many thanks.

I deeply appreciate that, BigalzPinz.

My friend, I am totally with you on Cirqus Voltaire!!

Roughly 4 hours after I published, a whopping 66 votes have been cast, despite some of the contentiousness in the comment section. Many thanks for those who have registered a ballot. Right now TWILIGHT ZONE is dominating.

Love it Lloyd!

Will do gjm. I'm trying.

Oooooh, IBTL. Oooooh. Yet, tons of people have voted on the poll I've provided. I'm good, but thanks anyway. Go elsewhere to troll. Oh, that's right, you've been blocked now. Ha! No worries.

Wally, that title was promised by the company, so it could very well happen.

Chad, gotta love it my friend!

As of 10:30 a.m., EST on Friday, March 31, roughly one day after the poll posted, a whopping 86 ballots have been cast. Bally's TWILIGHT ZONE (TZ) is leading the way, with 30 votes (35% of those cast). Williams' TALES OF THE ARABIAN NIGHTS (TOTAN) is in second place with 16 votes. (20%) Thanking all those who took the time to express their sentiments.

Still at it I see, JustEverett. So you'd rather sustain contentiousness instead of honoring the 94 people who have voiced their opinions on the politely-stated query I made at the outset of this post. It appears the pinball community doesn't care what you think. Ha! Surely there are other posts to troll, no?

Nicholastree, I am deeply appreciative to read your passionate reply here my friend. I too, am flustered at a few of the responses, but then I realized 94 people have cast votes on the poll, which is the main reason for the post. TWILIGHT ZONE is getting some amazing support here. I did own it once, but parted ways with it about 16 years ago, because the example I had was replete with mechanical issues and a faded cabinet. The latter I know was typical for this game. But what a phenomenal game TZ is. I know it would be costly te re-make it, considering all that is in it, but I think if enough people promote it, it could be considered. KILL BILL sounds most intriguing too, especially since they are tackling PULP FICTION now. Many thanks!!

TALES OF THE ARABIAN NIGHTS (TOTAN) is gaining steam in the voting and now trails TWILIGHT ZONE 33 to 20. 95 ballots have been cast as of 12:00 noon EST.
