I've been on a lot of threads and spoken to many others who would love to see a Back to the Future pin get made.
I thought I would start this thread to see just how many of us there are out there and to discuss any interesting ideas you may have had about the possibilities of this game. I decided to make this a Stern thread because I can actually afford their games and they put out enough titles annually that it wouldnt be a decade away. If there really is enough BTTF love maybe someone in power will take note eventually. I would jump on a good BTTF game.

To be fair to Stern. Maiden and Deadpool (and Beatles technically) both came out last year and neither have a fan layout. Also, fan layouts can still be great as long as there are some interesting innovations going on and a solid rule set. Most of the top rated pins are fans.
I just dont want it to have an upper or lower playfield. Not something I usually enjoy.

Just for the people who say nobody under 30 knows bttf. Here is my 5 yr old son's current favorite book.

Still a nice place to chat about dreams and possibilities negative Nancy :p

Or Batman '66 for the opposite arguement. I've explained why I chose to make this a Stern thread. Cleary you chose option 4.

Star Trek, Star Wars, High Speed, Elvira, Black Knight...plenty of successful repeats. The Data East game sucks. This franchise deserves better.

Black Knight (and Elvira) cough cough

Or spend 10k+ on a machine that requires monthly repairs? (I'm mostly teasing but cost is a very real factor to me)

For me
Borg/Elwin/Eddy
Sheats (obviosly)
Zombie Yeti/Franchi

A Brian Eddy, Lyman F. Sheats, Chris Franchi BTTF would be just about the best thing ever.

Gary didnt make bttf either so what's your cough cough point? My point was he clearly has no problem revisiting themes as a company.

And in the Deadpool flyer as a cartoon character. Again, AS A COMPANY, Gary will revisit any profitable theme
Youre going to take Gary at his word? Money is king and Gary goes where the money is. There is plenty of money to be made if BTTF gets made.

They will re release the Munsters topper as the clock that hit doc on the head lol

As long as they get the rights to the (full) movie clips and letting Frachi put his likeness on the backglass, I dont need Micheal J Fox to be any more involved. Christopher Lloyd should be doing the call outs anyway. Great Scott!
Also, having met Michael J Fox, I cant see him personally turning this down unless his managers tell him to. He might be one of the nicest, down to earth celebrities out there.

I'd heard the data east thing was a conflicting film contract but didnt have enough details to share my thoughts.

Didnt you also say we would have already had the 5 days of deep root? Nothing is forever. People change jobs, get fired, die or offered enough money to change thier minds. Companies get bought out and licenses change hands. Sure, Disney might own Stern and and half of the world by then but let a man dream.

If Disney owns Stern we will get 4 Bttf pinball machines. One for each movie plus the terrible remake they will make where Doc is a brilliant young woman and Marty's love interest. Sigh
