Quoted from Jason_Jehosaphat:
I know this topic comes up now and then, but is there any consensus as to when Spooky is likely to do another run of TNA? If they wait until they are entirely done with Halloween (Late 2022), will there still be enough interest in TNA to justify another run? Is there a "window of opportunity" that they would do well to pay attention to? I can remember when HUO TNA's could be had for $5500. Now they seem to command mid-sevens and up. I'm interested in the game and would like to find one, but they are harder to find than even the average Stern LE - and no less expensive in some cases! Oof!

I am also looking out for the re-run of TNA. I’ve been lucky enough to play one at FlipOut in London and it is among my Top 3 pinball machines of all time.

Quoted from AAAV8R:
You shouldn’t be. The basic premise of a simpler 80s style game appeals to a lot of people. (** cough cough/double foot stomp to the manufacturers reading this)
This is not limited to pinball or certain age groups. Tons of people love what I call “basic skill games”.
Pixel Games like Galaga, Ms. Pac Man, Centipede always have players at any retrocade. Pins like 8 Ball Deluxe, Embryon, Xenon, Centaur have just as many players as the gee-whiz games coming off the modern day assembly lines.
My wife comes with me to the pinball bar every once in a while. She enjoys playing. And guess which modern Stern is probably her favorite? The Beatles. Yup, new machine, 80s simplicity.
Anyone remember Flappy Bird on the iPhone? Tap the screen to guide a bird between pipes. Ridiculously simpleton, but yet outrageously addictive. (I think the designer said he wanted something simpler than Angry Birds, because he thought that game was too complex )
Basic skill games - simple to understand, can be surprisingly difficult, and incredibly fun to play.
TNA definitely falls into this category. Cool theme, awesome name, and the music track easily put it into the “excellent” category.
You should be extremely proud of YOUR game.

Yes, I’ve compared the appeal of TNA to Robot Unicorn Attack, which was huge on tablet computers a decade or so (I think) back. Brilliant music, simple addictive gameplay that’s hard to master, retro feel… and purple.
