Greatest story ever told? No.....

Ben has stated the pin would only use OT sourced material.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Testament

Would you think mode based like Star Trek, so you could select your story mode? Or do you think a progressive game would be best?

Personally I'm thinking mode, or else I may never get to play Jeremiah, the weeping prophet mode.

Lotts wife pillar of salt bash or spinner toy.

Works for me. I'm honestly not well-versed on what's Old/New Testament. I was just picking random words that refer to having your ball saved.

I like this idea.

The Exodus 31:14 multi ball feature could have a pop up peasant working on the Sabbath and the object is to stone him to death.

I'm thinking a David vs Goliath mode where a hidden motorized post comes up and has a chain and a rock attached to it. When you hit a target or maybe a round about, the rock spins faster. Then at a determined rate, it starts to slow down. You have to keep hitting the required target etc to accelerate it to a certain speed. Once you get above the "launch" Speed, the Launch scoup lights up. You have to hit it before the rock slows down below the launch speed. If it does, you have to accelerate it again to above the launch speed. When you hit the launch scoop, the machine goes black and you change to video mode. Then it would be like a Jurassic park skill shot or something and you hit the flipper button to launch the rock. While the machine is black, the post and rock go back to their hidden position so when the game lights back up, it's on to the next mode.

Swords of Fury has the coolest HS theme out there ... Organ music just like this.

I tend to agree ...

How about OLD TESTAMENT instead? That could lend itself to some cool Medusa style artwork.

Or YEAR ZERO? That's when it all happened.

Just thinking aloud ...

FYI here's the Swords of Fury high score music.

I wish my backglass had as much color as the one in the video ....

Who doesn't enjoy getting stoned and listening to megadeth? However, there is no mention of stoning people to death in the OT. I'll save you some reading, none of that happens in the New Testament either. Nice try though.

How about calling it something like "the greatest stories ever told"

Also, there's probably a lot of good material you can draw from in those old Charlton Heston movies.

Or just call it old testament with a crazy backglass like paragon

Nice try? Eh, see Numbers 15:32-56 for example and there are more examples of stoning in the OT.
Even clearly stated in the Children's version: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers+15%3A32-36&version=ICB

35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must die. All the people must kill him with stones outside the camp.”
(For gathering sticks on Sabbath.....)

So while the OT is a source of great stories, it does not show the "God of love" many people nowadays believe in.. (I guess they ignore (or don't even know) the gory details of the OT or do not take it all litteral)

A 'BC'/'OT' pinball machine could be fantastic though, lots of famous stories to visualize and to create different modes about. It will probably attract a large group.

i think this would make an interesting pinball. the stories lend themselves well to modes and shots. i would like to see spooky take this and run with it.

I'd love stained glass art for this pin. Even if it's not real stained glass (although that would be freaking awesome), I'd like something like this:

Backglass:

Backbox sides:

Or, "Alpha & the Omega" = "The Beginning & the End"

Let's keep this about Pinball, not a display of your lack of Biblical theology.

I would like to see BEN take it and run with it. I am sure spooky would be happy to be contracted to build it once it is done.

Stained glass style translite is a great idea. Maybe a large hole could be cut on each side of backbox and fitted with a plexiglass window before head decals were installed. Having lighted imagery bursting through three sides of the backbox would be celestial.

I think a better name might sell more games -

One idea.

Ancient Prophecies or Ancient Creeds.

Stained glass is a cool idea and while it fits theme it doesn't fit the tone I'm aiming for.

Stained glass makes one think of churches, and I want this game to be about the stories, not where the stories are told.

I agree with this and think Scott from Riot Pinball (WOOLY) would be a great choice for designing the art package!

Yeah and while you're there, suggest they send a production ready WOOLY pin to Spooky to contract manufacture.

Everyone love fantasy make believe themes about a super hero!

They could convert WOOLY to Pinheck system and then use that layout for Bible Adventures. Buyers could have choice of theme (WOOLY or BA) and be able to run either software package. Now that would be a ton of value for the money as you would get 2 games in 1!

Gotcha. What about William Blake, Michelangelo, or something similar? I always loved those old paintings. Each piece can be a different story, but all would match the theme. Somebody mentioned Scott of Riot Pinball. Maybe he can make an iteration of them....More random ideas:

This pin should definitely have some bible thumper bumpers.

Lol

Yes, Dutch Master style is the direction I'd like to go. But with more action

It would be a new design, and standard body with.

The pop bumpers should be pillars. Then you can have a Death Of Sampson mode. When you get enough pop hits it brings the temple down on the Philistines.

Ouch! Best One Liner of 2015!

Like your taste, Joel....If you come to Winter Park, Im a few blocks from the Morse Tiffany Museum.
Give me a ring!

Please for the love of God no stained glass anywhere on the machine. I'm thinking backglass is a young David holding Goliath's severed head. Background is Goliath's corpse and armies of Israel and the Philistines. Cabinet side art featuring a Noah ark/flood mural on one side and maybe a hodge podge of creation/additional stories on the other.

Again please no stained glass. i think you want this as unchurchy as possible. Just the OT content.

Nice call. The pops advance Samson & Delilah. Thinking a Samson toy over them, attached to pillars that rock to and fro during the MB.

Thanks! And the year isn't over yet! I know they don't call them that anymore, but I got the idea from my Pinky.

How about B.C. Pinball or Pinball B.C. since we are only talking Old Testament?

If severed head not on the backglass, at least a sweet head lopping animation.

Seven orbit shots gives you walls of Jericho bonus. And starts Jericho hurry up where you try to make seven more orbit shots. Joshua 6

This is from the awesome movie 300. Show bloody fight scenes like this, alternating from fast to Hollywood slo-mo when the gore flies.

When weapons make contact, point awards would flash on screen in big numbers, similar to TWD when you blast zombies heads off or stab them in the neck.

I guess it would probably tweak too many nipples if the game had a Sin of Onan lost ball penalty.

Sounds like a tax loop hole that may not be legal check with an accountant / attorney. Also the church may not want to play ball like that.

Maybe if you reach the last supper wizard mode the game blacks out and tells you there are no other gods than I

Anyone know who the guy was on "Special When Lit" that suggested this idea years ago? Curious if he's a Pinsider.

Why not just loan it rent-free? You'd still have to claim the $300 as income, then deduct it, so you're not getting anything for these "charitable" donations.

The machine wouldn't even have to work. Just give it 10% of your money and be thankful!

OK so who is the callout voice? Moses? Solomon (wisest guy in the OT) seems like a legitimate guy to provide direction during your game.
