"This next machine was just discovered in the back of a cargo container stuck in Customs for eight years. The playfield is covered with what appear to be six varieties of mold. The cabinet has been 'restored' with several layers of latex house paints, and the GI strings appear to be Christmas tree lights from the 1960s. No one's dared to even open the backbox yet. Have fun!"

I want a game that explores the dark moral choices of pinball repair. "This is a Twilight Zone machine in mint condition. Your client wants to make an 'artistic statement'. Paint the whole thing black. Yes, including the playfield and the backglass. Crush the clock, to demonstrate the arbitrariness and transience of mortal time. At the climax of an upcoming art festival, the machine will be played for precisely 43 seconds, then set on fire. Do you: Accept the order? Reject the order? Accept the order, then strip all the under-playfield parts and sell them on eBay? Accept the order, then substitute a 1978 'Disco Fever' machine and hope nobody notices under all that paint?"
