Joliet, IL
Let's get a vote going and maybe add your 2 cents about what pin you would make if you could
Michel Jackson
Ghostbusters
A good Mario bros
Resident Evil
Gone in 60 sec
Halo
Halloween
The New Nightmare on elm street
(Topic ID: 127598)
A mini style Sponge Bob same size as my Super Mario Mushroom world.
and full size Scooby Doo...I know they sound lame but the kids love them. And well I do too.
Beauharnois
Quoted from dt3:I still think some type of club/dj/techno/skrillex/deadmau5 game would be amazing.
i agree. a big rave party.
I have had a very vivid vision of a Munsters machine. With spot the dragon that comes out of the center stair case. I have been looking for anyone that has done fire simulation with LEDs. If you could somehow make spot breathe fire... Oh boy would that be something. I can see Pat Lawler doin something like that.
Licensed, in no particular order:
Firefly
Deadwood
Legend of Zelda
Settlers of Catan
Battlestar Galactica
Adventure Time with Finn and Jake
Archer
Venture Bros.
Starcraft
Puppets Who Kill
Unlicensed:
Noah's Ark
King Arthur, and the knights of the Round
A time traveller one
Something themed around zooming down to the microscopic / atomic level
Something based on almost any Philip K Dick story (which I suppose would be licensed)
Ninjas vs Pirates
Quoted from arcademojo:A mini style Sponge Bob same size as my Super Mario Mushroom World.
and full size Scooby Doo...I know they sound lame but the kids love them. And well I do too.
Good Lord, of course! How could I forget Scooby Doo???
Quoted from dothedoo:Good Lord, of course! How could I forget Scooby Doo???
The Mystery Machine add on toy mods already available!! With LED headlights. 
Warriors
Misfits(band)
But what I really miss in pinball are the great titles that weren't even licensed. Original themes that really sparked the creativiety of the artists. When I look at a title that is based on a movie or band I'm really going into it with a preconceived idea of what is supposed to happen. On original titles there is more room for imagination and discovery. So for me lets bring out more original themes.
Table Top
Legend of Zelda
Gremlins
Magic: The Gathering
Pokemon
...some horror pin with Vincent Price quotes :p
Quoted from Bowlingpin:Seinfeld
NO MULTIBALL FOR YOU!
Quoted from KingNine:Minecraft
A square ball wouldn't roll very well.
Duke Nukem! It would sell amazingly well. Something about a gun toting hero who saves the world from an alien invasion just screams cool! Anyone who played the pc or arcade game would testify that its a great theme. There is even a duke nukem pinball machine in the pc game you can play!
Not going to get into it here as there is family ears but theme/game could be epic!
My lady friend says Turok dinosaur hunter would also be amazing!
Quoted from Wonbadmfer:I think mad max is a great idea
Road kings 2 ...I'm in! Or the warriors could be awesome too
Yea a duke Nukem would be cool or DOOM
I remembered the first time I played that
I still think they should make an awsome back to the future
Copenhagen
This has come up many times before,
But a theme I think would be great for a pin would be Scott Pilgrim. If you've read the books or seen the movie it has 7 modes built into the story, where Scott has to defeat the different "Evil Exes". Add a Knives multiball and some band battles and you're good to go. Either artwork would be good but art based on the comic would rock. Plus the story has many video game themes woven into it, power ups, etc. Would be an epic/fun pin.
Ghost rider, Jurassic park 3, maze runner, sleepy hollow, men in black, willy wonka and the chocolate factory, The mummy, I, robot, planet of the apes, Sherlock holmes , ender's game.
Quoted from justanottergirl:Legends of Zelda would be so great. Firefly would be my top choice.
Firefly Serenity. Would be my first NIB if that came out.
I'd vote for Gone in 60 Seconds.
I'd also LOVE to see a B-17/P-51 theme. With period artwork, weathered riveted sheet metal, with an overall rustic/antique/wornout design with warm colored LED's throughout.
What about Iron Maiden? I not a huge fan( I do like the music though), but their stage props and Character named Eddie are pretty cool. After seeing pictures of their stages, i can visualize it..

just saw something like that earlier today on one of flitetest.com's video review of an F-16 ducted fan model jet. they used a ring of fiberglass fibers and orange-red LED's at the exit ports for the afterburner look. it'd be tougher for up close in a pinball machine but looked really cool at distance in the flying model near sunset.
Quoted from sparechange1974:What about Iron Maiden?
Iron Maiden posters used to give me nightmares.
Definitely Futurama: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/futurama-after-tron
Spongebob would be great as well, has a lot of material to draw from.
I've been thinking Cheech-n-Chong "Up In Smoke" would be classic, but not exactly family oriented or "war on drugs" approved politically correct (very oxymoronic there). sgt stadenko freeway getaway mode with lots of orbit and ramp shots quickly, drop targets to get "the luv machine" bouncing, Rock Fight multiball, an Earache My Eye wizard mode, deported for the free ride to a wedding, Ajax Lady (its turning BLUE) challenge with lighting to match.. tons of possibilities! music and potential for hysterically funny callouts could make for a great pinball machine... byebye lardazz..
for sure about futurama too, it could be like a new TSPP.
