    When I first saw the arrow insert I guessed Robin Hood, but the artwork doesn't jive with that. (Besides, American Pinball filed for the rights to that IP)

    I'll take a random stab at it and say Around the World in 80 Days. I base it solely on knowing that it's a free license, well known, and there is an insert of a flaming arrow on a road which conveys an idea of traveling fast. Having a hot air balloon toy swooping around the playfield would be very neat

    It also sorta reminded me of Roadshow. The marks on the pavement remind me of treads on construction equipment, and the fire of destruction in their wake. Or maybe a modern take on Taxi.

    Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:

    Robin Hood first appeared in English folklore around the 1400s. Anyone interested in making a Robin Hood game can do so, no license required.

    American Pinball applied for the trademark though

    So if they get it, you could still make a Robin Hood game but you can't call it Robin Hood directly.

    Quoted from Mbecker:

    Top right — been staring at it a while.. looks like a green sign on top starting with ‘a’ — atm machine? Looks like a screen below that sign and what could be an atm? Not sure what that has to do with theme... and not convinced that’s what it is just spitballing..

    Maybe some sort of cops and robbers theme? Go rob a bank and get away from the police

    Quoted from Mbecker:

    Good theme ..safe cracker is the only one to my knowledge

    I haven't played it, but The Mafia also seems to be bank robbery themed. Kingpin is cops and robbers adjacent

    My cops and robbers guess was sorta close and my random idea for an Around the World in 80s Day mech is sorta in there. I'm taking my two half rights as one full right.

    Quoted from ThisNotes4U:

    So you are ready to reveal the first 3D playfield?

    Can you buy a bunch of unsold 3D TVs from that fad several years ago? Put that in and baby you've got a stew going.
