Quoted from Wolfmarsh:

So, I've decided I want my next project to be a custom Spaceballs themed pin.
It's a movie that my wife and I love, and seems to have lots of elements that will translate well to a pin.
However, I'd love the opportunity to approach this a little differently. Instead of running to my bat-cave, designing it in a vacuum and showing back up with a spit shined turd, I though I might make it more of an open design to really get some valuable feedback during the process.
So,first I'd love to get your thoughts on the style of the game. I lean toward the mode style game, because of the tie ins with specific scenes in the movie. "Comb the desert" mode comes to mind.
Some of the basic scenes I want to translate to gameplay are:
-radar jamming
-mega maid emerging
-mega maid going from suck to blow
-Schwartz is as big as mine
-ludicrous speed
-gotta be a mr coffee
-perriair
-the Winnebago in general
So, what do you all think?

You would be my hero if you did this. I think I've seen Spaceballs at least 50 times. If WOZ adds easter eggs I hope they'll do the yoghurt statue scene.

Other possibilities:

- virgin alarm - could be done similar to Creature's KISS.
- Prince Valium weak flipper mode
- 1-2-3-4-5 combination
- "What? You went over my helmet?!"

Tilt audio clip: "F***! Even in the future nothing works!"

Quoted from Wolfmarsh:

Compiling all of these ideas, I think we need a "perspective" for the gameplay.
What do you guys think is the proper way to approach getting the player engaged in the game?
Are you playing as Lone Star trying to defend Druidia and take down the Spaceballs?
Are playing as the Spaceballs, trying to get into Druidia?
Are you playing as a third party just trying to activate modes and fun things from the movie?

Just don't start it with a 10-minute long dmd animation of the ship flying by...
