    Would have been an awesome theme 30 years ago. Not so sure now.

    Quoted from pinmods:

    100% disagree. I'd rather it have modern technology and a DMD/LCD.
    Would the WOZ pin been better 70 years ago? Yeah, thought so.

    OK, but now you are arguing a separate point. Of course technology is better now. Your point is one of theme. WOZ would have been a no brainer theme for a pin 70 years ago. It is not such a good theme for today which is why I didn't buy it, and still won't. WOZ owners who bought the pin for the theme alone are in the minority. This wouldn't be bad for small manufacturer with a smaller run but I don't think it would sell the numbers needed for Stern or JJP to be considered successful unless the gameplay was awesome, and then it would sell because it was a players machine. Basing a game off of a 30+ year old movie is almost as bad as a 70 year old one.
