I guess we can "agree to disagree" then.
I sure hope "Wikipedia" is not involved in your search criteria...

I am sure many people feel the same way about AFM guy!
It is just not fashionable to say out loud- especially on a Pinball forum!
I personally think SM wipes the floor with AFM! (Clutch the Pearls!)
But that is just MY opinion...
"Flamesuit ON!"
Not in the face, not in the face!

Sonic Spinball! Now that would've been something!

I think if there was a new rock based table, it should be Spinal Tap. Multiball representing each of the drummers (would that be 6 balls in multi). No need to make any new music for it.

Other than that, I'd love to see some combos (licensing costs be damned). Of course, the obvious come to mind, Star Wars vs Star Trek; Alien vs Predator; Batman vs Spiderman; X-Men vs Justice League. One theme mentioned in here was Chuck Norris. How about a Chuck vs Black Knight (I can imagine Chuck beating that laugh right outta the Knight).

Anything US war or politics based wouldn't really work outside the domestic market. But I was thinking of a table design based on US politics (Politically Incorrect?) where each player would pick between a dem, rep (maybe ind as well) and the rule set would change slightly for each with perhaps some conflicting rules in multiplayer with differing parties.

Two dawned on me today...
The Muppets & Sesame Street
Their just aren't enough kids games.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a Transformers pin. Unless I've missed something.

I'd also prefer one based on Generation 1, and this Michael Bay abortion of Transformers crap

As long as any machine they make based on video games does not end up like pacman.

I'm surprised Harry Potter isn't a pinball theme yet. I could see a lot of things with this pin.

Of course a straight up Nightmare Before Christmas machine would be beyond awesome as well.

I love that movie! I would so buy a Nightmare Before Christmas, in a heartbeat! Love zero & Jack, boogie & the 3 kids

When Mr. Oogie Boogie says
There's trouble close at hand
You'd better pay attention now
'Cause I'm the Boogie Man

The muppets would be cool too...Fragile Rock!

Gremlins would have been neat but has to be a DMD game.

What about X-GAMES, a lot of possibilites with all the different events, and still very popular.

Would be awesome if one of the ramps was a halfpipe.

Trailer Park Boys

I think MTV Jackass theme would be great. Press start and "Hi, I'm Johnny Knoxville. Welcome to Jackass". Though, now that one of the guys died I'm not sure it's as appropriate.

on fifth element,lilu Dallas,multi ball! she knows knows its a multi ball!
my wife and i considered naming one of our sons corbin dallas.
there are so many great themes for pins out there.
how about spinal tap. with 11 ball multi ball. this pin goes to 11.

Haha, you're probably right.

I would love if there was a ramp that dumped the ball into a shopping cart, which then rolled across the playfield to hit a 'curb' and toss the ball out.

Maybe a Wee Man mini playfield ala Family Guy

I would have my name on the list for a Harry Potter Pin if that day ever comes, definitely a lot of material to draw from and solid enemy to defeat.

LOST.

and yeah...i know dude made a one-off.

I think Gary Stern said in a recent talk that JK Rowling wouldn't sign off on a Harry Potter pinball since they end up in pubs. But agree that would be one I (and my entire family) would be down for.

How about a Gallagher pin with a Sledge-o-matic toy, and various other toys based on his gadgets.

Jaws is one of my favorite movies, and I've always wanted a Jaws pin. A lot could be done with sharks, and it's still very relevant with Shark Week continuing every year.

TOY STORY! seriously I would put down $ site unseen. Perfect game for the family

The infamous Bottom Boys...

I would love to see that happen as well. I know it's been mentioned but I would love to see a Matrix pin.

Kind of a "left-field" proposition but, I recently watched some of the older 'Young Indiana Jones Chronicles' and was still impressed (after all these years) with the amount of time/work that went into making that show.
I think it would be cool to see an Indy pin using the YIJ series for it's theme.
Plus,
My wife used to love Sean Patrick Flanery back then so, it would be an automatic buy for her!
Mwahahahaha!

I wonder if the "YIJ" license would be cheap enough by now?

Someone near the top of this old thread threw up Battle Star Galactica. Many thumbs up for that one!!

Also Aliens.

'Prometheus' will probably be a pretty good contender too when it comes out...
So far, it looks pretty bad-ass!
3D translite Gary?

Yo Joe!

GI JOE

I've always wanted to see a nice Samurai type theme... Shogun Assassin would be cool...

Really. REALLY? Come on... at least Spongebob Squarepants might sell a few games, but that piece of garbage? Jesus christ.

How about Dune? Sandworm toy eats the ball, ornithopter picks it up. Water of Life/Shai-Hulud/Muad'dib multiballs, and The Golden Path wizard mode.

Modes: Thumper, Stillsuit, Stranded, Battle Feyd

I'm kind of surprised they don't do a popular video game title, like CoD, halo, diablo, WoW, starcraft, mass effect, Gears, god of war, Gran Turismo, Forza, etc. We got licensing for some products from video game manf. and it wasn't too bad.

Or some slightly older title, that appeals to the general age of pinball purchase. I would buy a HP machine as well. Love the lotr game, HP could be epic.

I was always surprised that B/W never did a Mortal Kombat pin, successful video game and movie, would have seemed a natural.

Today, a Clash/Wraith of the Titans would be cool, or anything Monty Python, (although some would argue that MM is sort of an unlicensed MP!!

Haven't seen it yet of course, but Battleship might make a good game also.

Portal 2!

Scooby Doo FTW!

Exploding Lemons Multiball.

H A R R Y P O T T E R

Hoping JJP ships a gratis WOZ to JKR as a "see what we could do with HP."

That could be cool.. with a bunch of under playfield ramps that will make the ball pop out God knows where depending on what ya light....

I'm a little surprised at how many of the original ideas have come to fruition. Personally, I would love a Zelda game. Although I have a feeling I would be put off if it weren't from the NES-N64 range, but would still probably enjoy it no matter what.

I'd like to see a pin based on the great artists - especially the crazy ones. Think Salvador Dali (Melting Clock Multiball), M.C Escher (hey, is that ball ever coming back?), Vincent Van Gogh ("Cut off An Ear for Love" wizard mode), and H.R. Giger...so many cool things you could do with them. Pick some unusual music to go with it - make it memorable!

Agree.

Scooby Doo
Matrix.

I'm not saying they NEED to make them. I'm just saying I'm surprised they didn't.

Pete

Halloween and Metallica!!!!

oh and also I know they pry will never make one but a UFC pin!!!!! Huge UFC fan here!!!

I have always found it hard to believe that there was never a Planet of the Apes pin. Not so much on the Apes movies of today, but back in it's hayday they had Apes everything.

Gotta love a seriously necromanced thread. Funny how many of the ideas from ten months ago are now realty or soon to be reality as well. ACDC and BHZA for example (and x men too if the reports are true).

As I do in every thread like this I am going to float out game of thrones and Spartacus.

Need a Beavis N Butthead pin, and a Ren N Stimpy, and a Happy Tree Friends while we're at it, I would buy all three, hell I might just have to do a re-theme on something for that Happy Tree Friends one, lots of fun death shots on that...hmmm, seriously think I will.

Blade Runner.

Dan

Commando
Beetlejuice
Running Man
Under Siege
Die Hard Trilogy
Wu-Tang Clan
The Shield would have been an awesome adult Stern
Blade would have been a nice one too...

If JJP builds Jaws, I'll take two.
