    Maybe I lack imagination but I seriously don't get how JAWS would make a compelling pinball theme. I've read the books numerous times and watched the movies, etc. so I'm definately a fan. But honestly seems like a pretty dull pinball theme.

    Maybe if it was kept simpler like a late 80s SS game. What are they going to put on the LCD, movie footage?

    I dunno, seems like it would difficult to pull off.

    I would hope that Eddie's new game would be something that would give him an outlet for humour since his 2 best games were both that way.

    Quoted from PINQUEST:

    so many cool/ suspenseful things could be done with jaws... imagine a mode where you are swimming, having to hit timed shots or you get eaten my the shark!!

    There’s that mode, and the one where you make shots to kill the shark! Then what? (Like I said I probably lack imagination).

    Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

    Through the Grapevine of Gossip......Stern secured Jaws License Last week! Extremely reliable.
    Game On!

    ...I guess Spooky was probably about to sign the deal. Maybe we should thank Spooky for forcing Stern to make all these themes they otherwise probably wouldn't bother with. Assuming they get made at all at the end of the day.

    Still not seeing how JAWS becomes a great pinball theme but I'm willing find to out.

    Quoted from KozMckPinball:

    So then, what is Brian Eddy working on if Stern did not have the license until now? Honest question...

    Hopefully something with high comedic potential ala MM and AFM.

    Quoted from TreyBo69:

    and one where you are the Shark. I think the idea of rooting for the Shark is a ton of fun.

    ...playing as the shark would actually be way more fun, wouldn't it?

    "Sharkanado" might actually be a better pinball theme if you think about it, at least humour could be an element too. Maybe Spooky should bang out 250 Sharkanado games to take on Stern's JAWs game "shark-to-shark"! While we're at it, American Pinball could do "Megalodon" too.

    That would be pretty awesome, right? Three cool super-fun shark games.

    Quoted from JoelOmatik:

    Just thought I’d share. Decades ago, I wanted to design my own shark themed, non-licensed pin, White Death (a nickname for the great white). The furthest I got was this ugly-as-sin playfield blank prototype I hand-routed back in early 2000. Forgive the magic marker “artwork.” I also made a foam core/poster board mock-up to gauge the ramps and shots. Unfortunately, due to my horrible programming skills and inability to find extra help, this is the furthest I got. I attempted another PF with different shots, but much is still the same as you see here.
    Just in case a Jaws pin does get made and some inserts are laid out like mine, I have the time stamp to show I made the first attempt. Hopefully, one day I’ll get some extra help to get a working homebrew made.

    ...somewhere deep inside the Stern R&D labs Keith Elwin is swearing "That's what I was going to do!"

    Quoted from bgwilly31:

    Best thing i read in this thread is the license was just acquired that means something else is coming.
    BEETLEJUICE! I mean cmonnn! The soundtrack of that movie is perfect for pinball![quoted image]

    Would be a perfect Spooky game!
