Portland, OR
I figure it has to be TZ
(Topic ID: 39341)
I'm betting (hoping) on IJ! 
Toronto, ON
Quoted from thepinballworks:I vote for White Water
I'm thinkin' you might be right, but I'm hopin' CFTBL is not far behind! And Dredd is a future must!
WhiteWater or FishTales would be great next ColorDMD's. Both have a lot of cool animations.
I would love to see also Scared Stiff and NGG on the list soon.
But the folks from ColorDMD need to hire more people so that they can crank these DMD's out
faster. At the rate their going, it will be 15 years before they cover the most popular titles.

Job security.

Well, in that case, their patents better be iron-clad, or some other smart folks will begin to
produce these as well. Which by the way wouldn't be a bad idea. Competition = better product at a better price.

This would make me very happy!!
Most DMD titles would be viable. I imagine that the amount of work needed for each is about the same.
So.....that leaves a simple business decision with a very tricky answer..... Who is most likely to be willing to pay the extra to have one?
From all the posts, sounds like we love our machines for different reasons. I say, if someone owns a machine then they usually can afford the price of this enhancement.
All that said, JM would be great.

Well......no.
It's ALL in the numbers. (In fact based on the numbers I'm revising my prediction to TZ #1 and IJ #2).
TZ's made - 15,235
Reported Pinsider's who own one - 872 (469 more want one)
IJ's made - 12,716
Pinsider's who own one - 453 (346 more want one)
STTNG (The latest color DMD produced)
Total made - 11,728
Pinsider's who own one - 530 (286 more want one)
JM's made - 2756
Pinsider's who own one - 139 (108 more want one)
Based on the number alone JM will probably never be made.
I would think that SM would look great with a color DMD, as there are a lot of animations.

Most those animations are movie clips. I doubt they'll even bother to redo these.
Wh20 is my vote, for selfish reasons..

Nice research..... still, we just don't know the answers to the most important questions like - how many do they need to sell to make it a worthwhile venture.... in what timeframe.... and finally, of those people who own say TZ or IJ, how many are "keeping theirs original" Vs. any other title? Also, just how labor intensive is the work - maybe they have discovered some shortcuts after doing the first few?
You could also make the argument that machines with a lower price to buy will leave more money to improve??
Who knows?? The logic surrounding which parts are made/reproduced in pinball is quite mysterious. Just look at how CPR operate.

Negative. Otherwise T2 and Getaway would have been done long before AFM and MM. I was curious about the effect of production numbers vs. expensive/collector-type machines with lower production runs and did a poll: http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/vote-for-colordmd-titles
Monster Bash killed IJ. T2 and Getaway were barely afterthoughts.

If a Stern ever gets done....I'm betting on LotR.
I'd vote for T2... This game screams good color modes.
I'm hoping the big announcement at the Texas Pinball Festival is they finally have the Software Coloring Toolkit ready so anyone can buy one of their screens and spend the time to colorize the DMD animations the way they like it. They are making money on the unit, not spending a boat-load of time colorizing eat game...let the pinball community colorize and Color DMD will sell that much more.
Or...maybe Color DMD are going to make their own machine(s)
Here's to hoping another small fry gets in the race
And..yes...TOTAN is my vote!
