    Quoted from BlackKnight3000:

    BUT, if you made a "Destiny" pinball that was connected to the internet, players could come to the arcade, play the Destiny pinball, and achieve special engrams that they can ONLY get by playing the pin. Those engrams could then be transferred to their characters to play at home with. That same idea could be used with most games today, and would be a great way to get people to come into the arcades again.

    Hell of an idea.
    I don't know Destiny but I could imagine something similar with the GTA game series:
    - Connect to the GTA pinball machine via App (which is linked to your player account)
    - Get special items (weapons, baby) only available by playing the GTA Pinball.
    - back at home, these would be be available online to kick your online friends' asses with

    GTA is a hugely popular franchise. Why not take advantage of this and incorporate a pinball machine both into the game world (there already are video games that can be played within the game, imagine a playable pinball!) and real world?

    Jersey Jack, are you listening?

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Someone had a Gottlieb Hollywood Heat at with an alternate GTA translite in it at the Pintastic show this past year.

    Very good for starters. ^^
    Anyway, I think there's so much material in the GTA world that could be used in a pinball machine. Include the sardonic puns and stabs at popular culture and we'd have a fun pin that possibly appealed to a broader audience.
