    Quoted from Doctor6:

    So what do we do when we run out of ancient themes? When all the old movies/cartoons/rock bands are done?
    Do we finally die, knowing the industry made zero effort trying to appease the younger market, thus making no attempts to keep pinball alive for the future?

    Cell phone, TikTok, instagram, and blaming everyone else are coming right up to save the day!

    In an effort to stay positive and constructive, can you suggest a theme specifically that would bridge the gap?

    Based upon personal experience, I would suggest theme is not the problem, but more of a lack of interest in pinball by the majority of the population confronted by modern technology.

    A trend that slowly began many years ago.

    Jaws was an incredible movie, the sequels and reboots, not so much

    Possibly I am mistaken here, but wasn't the recent Stern issue of TMNT (seeing one already in existence from Data East) a shot at the millenial nostalgia market?

    I will let you decide how successful that selection was.

    A Jaws pin could be either a hit or a failure; This would depend on the game design, sounds, visuals, play etc.

    My life is over! My entire pinball collection is old! And damnit, the themes are all old too!

    The legends of pinball handed me the baton, and said "James! Go forth and usher in a glorious era of pinball! Lead the youth and be enthralled!"

    I will tell you this, I have had many parties, and the kids of my guests are bored of EVERYTHING in 5 minutes. This includes air hockey, skeeball, pinball, hoops fever, vintage arcade, modern arcade, xbox on an 85" TV.

    Its right to their phones and ignore the environment around them.

    Bring on Jaws, awesome theme.
