Whatever Steve's next game is going to be, I assure you it will be filled with bravado, swagger, machismo, and SPEED! Excited to see The King's next game, hopefully unencumbered thematically and mechanically, and filled with self deprecating humor that both brings back memories and reintroduces a new generation to the only guy that designs his own games, composes the music for them, and does the callouts!

Long live Steve!

Whatever Steve does, and I'll reiterate, is going to be a macho theme with SPEED! Loops galore, reflex shots, kickass music!

I have an idea to add some "fireworks" to whatever is made: Add spark emitting mechs, ala 80's toy cars that had a flint and steel in them to make actual sparks when the wheels turned.

The sparks could be emitted into a clear tube, or something similar, that exits to below the playfield into a catch container, as to not litter the playfield with the spent debris. The end user could easily change the flints as they wear out, just as they would in a zippo lighter.

I suppose what I am proposing is the purpose of flash bulbs (another first for Steve to incorporate into a game), but how cool would it be to have genuine sparks being shot out as the ball rips around the playfield, or as a mini "fireworks show" when a super jackpot is hit?

I'm probably dreaming, but from an engineering and cost standpoint, it doesn't seem that crazy.

Just a lot of strong coffee this morning, ha!
