    Quoted from Strange:

    The problem with Minecraft is that it is just way too new for the older pinball audience to have the feels for it, or even know about it if they don't have younger kids. I've expressed before that JJP should strongly consider video game properties because of where gaming entertainment is and will be going. Still the the obvious partnership in anything video gaming should be Nintendo. Characters like Super Mario and Donkey Kong are 30+ years old at this point and pinheads have played their games in the past and are still highly highly relevant in the modern day.

    "just too new for the older pinball audience" is EXACTLY what is required.

    The licence doesn't matter that much to plenty of older pinheads. Just because I am old doesn't make me a fan of woz or hobbit. I'm not. But they are great pinball machines. So use the theme to pull in younger people.

    How about a Real Madrid v Barcelona soccer theme ? Messi v Ronaldo. Worldwide appeal to youngsters and adults. Or World Cup 2018/2022. The latter leaves plenty of time.

    Sure that's what I was meaning with woz and hobbit. Jack was proved right in going with them especially the former to start with because it's timeless rather than old. I don't think Super Mario 70's era stuff is in the same league. A soccer theme would likely have a long life. Yes some people hate soccer ( and maybe all sports ) but of course you hate millions that love it.

    Words came out wrong there. No problem if people hate sports.

    Quoted from lowepg:

    Good in theory, until you realize it still needs to be purchased by COLLECTORS.
    Plus, theme alone is not going pull kids heads out of their iPhones to play pinball...If they did, then games like Shrek, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Flintstones, etc would have resulted in droves of kids clamoring for pinball.... didn't happen.
    (Please spare me the anecdotal stories of fellow pinheads kids who LOVE pinball)

    I think MOST collectors or if you don't believe that MANY collectors were seriously negative on the WOZ theme. How did it sell ? Also let's see how children react to big screen pinball on location. That certainly has not been tested in the U.K yet ( or anywhere )

    I seem to remember Jack saying you wouldn't know exactly what it was about from the title. Correct ?
