I like this better than Stern's typical rotation of movies I haven't seen, comics I don't read, and bands I rarely listen to. Don't get me wrong, I love Maiden and AC/DC but I wore out the cassette tapes decades ago. I don't listen to them much anymore.

Also a lot of people are saying that "other people", not them of course, don't know what Oktoberfest is. Really? I thought every city in the US and Canada over 100k people had some kind of Oktoberfest celebration locally. I think Seattle has three including one that draws maybe 10 or 20k visitors over the course of the event. I think you might be selling "other people" short here. I think it's nearly as well known as Mardi Gras.

I personally think the game could be fantastic and I'll bet it will sell exceptionally well to the barcade and brewery market. Especially if it's campy and hilarious. Really, the more ridiculous the game is the better. And no one in Germany treats Oktoberfest like it's some sacred cultural institution, so it would be very difficult to offend anyone.

I just hope they include a Franzl Lang, Der Yodel Konig multiball.

Quoted from PinMonk:

I don't think AP will be doing licensed games. There's TONS of well-known public domain stuff to work with (soon Felix the cat, Steamboat Willy, some edgar allen poe stuff will ALL be public domain, also). There's also straight-up original IP. This "everything licensed" mentality is relatively new in the history of pinball. Pre-2000 most were unlicensed originals.

Edgar Allen Poe is already 100% public domain. Copyright is currently life of the author plus 70 years and it used to be less than that. He died in 1849.

I never thought about it until you mentioned it, but Poe would make a killer theme. HP Lovecraft would be even better and he's been public domain since 2007.
