Quoted from Tranquilize:I'm clearly in the minority, but I'm sick of repeats, old man band themes, and tv/movie themes from the 80s and earlier. There's so many cool contemporary themes right now that would make great pinball machines and help to attract younger players a lot more.
You cannot argue with sales results. Best sellers are these pins - ACDC, GB, MET, etc. Younger players are not the ones buying pins either. BTTF is popular enough so it would do fine. I would think licensing would be very restrictive with the actors and voice talents. I don't know if you would have to license the DeLorean separately but that is important. Same for 80's music. If you cannot deliver the entire package, it's just going to suck. I would love to see a little Getaway action where you build up mph's and then "shift" a lever (or action button) to time travel. With some magnets and flame leds, you could create a pretty cool effect.
