Just saying ... http://poormanspinball.blogspot.com

Yeah I'd put my monies towards that.

I would as well, since I LOVE the bioshock series. But I would say the theme is a tad old at this point. Infinite has some DLC that takes place in rapture, but I recall the company saying there will not be anymore stand alone games that take place there.

Personally.....I would LOVE to theme a game room that looked like it was in rapture.

That's pretty awesome! If only I'd known it was so easy to make your own pinball machine ...

I would be into a Bioshock pin. That game had such a cool look and feel to it.

love bioshock. It would have a cool look(rapture) and colors change as you gain/use abilities. I'm also a fan of serious sam, but bioshock would be the way to go.

If it were done right it could really be an amazing pin.
There are soo many possibilities and options.
The world definitely has a unique and special feel to it.
If it were really done up, the pin could be special also.

turned out pretty awesome, whoever this guy is, compliments!

oooh anything steampunk could be really cool in pinball

Would you kindly shoot again?

Man there are so many video game titles that would make great pinball and considering that its bigger than the movie industry we should see a lot more of them. Darksiders would be a dream theme for me or Castlevania, how about a Batman pin based on the latest games.

It's bigger than the movie industry in terms of sales revenue, simply because the cost to buy a video game is many times the cost of seeing a movie. In terms of the number of consumers the movie industry far far outweighs the gaming industry.

For example Avengers sold 78 million box office tickets. Compared to BioShock's 4 million copies sold.

So it makes sense why we haven't seen Stern do a video game license yet. The most important factor for Stern has to be the popularity of the license. It is almost not important how good it would be for a pinball theme (you just need to look at past Stern licenses for evidence of that!).

All this is beside the point though. I agree a video game license would be AWESOME for a pinball.

As a thought experiment though, what games are the most popular that would suit a pinball theme?

Here's a list of the best selling video game franchises (I think franchises is a better metric than single games for the same reason Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit are good IP choices).

Mario + Super Mario: 707 million
Pokemon: 260 million
Grand Theft Auto: 185 million
The Sims: 175 million
Need for Speed: 150 million
Sonic the Hedgehog: 140 million
Tetris: 140 million
Call of Duty: 120 million
Final Fantasy: 110 million
Mario Kart: 100 million
FIFA: 100 million

We've already seen a couple of Mario games, for good reason it seems!

GTA would be pretty awesome for a pinball and could really lend itself to some new ideas.

Sonic seems like it was destined to be a pinball license. Loops, collecting (and losing) rings, boss fights, sidekicks, and simply the fact that the ball can actually be a logical stand-in for Sonic himself (how cool would coloured/printed balls featuring all the characters).

Not so sure about CoD — further genericizing an already generic game doesn't appeal to me but the license would be appealing that's for sure.

Need for Speed could be brilliant. We've had plenty of driving/racing themed games already though. Same with Mario Kart.
