Cool ideas. I don't think pinball utilizes the display enough. It would be great to be able to make choices, collect/spend money, and shooting video modes like BSD. That would require a lot of coding, though.

Love the idea but sounds complicated keeping up with colored balls. I don't know how you could keep it all sorted with balls getting stuck, power off in middle of game, and when removing/adding balls. I think you could keep the same idea and use a display with the power up and normal balls. Maybe some colored lighting changes, too. It would be fun to have a whole variety of power ups from the loot crate. Some could be just wacky or annoying. It seems like that would be the modes of the game. It would be cool to have hundreds of these little modes instead of the typical handful. I suppose that would be crazy complicated coding though.
