    King Kong. I was really surprised to see that there has never been an official release of a King Kong pinball machine (I guess it was Godzilla that made me search). I know they came pretty close (with some prototypes floating out there), but for some reason I find that this is a franchise that really should have an official machine. King Kong would be excellent, with e.g. "fight other monsters", "break the chains", "attack the city", "fight the planes", "catch the girl" modes etc.

    What do you think? Any other themes/franchises that really should have a pinball machine?

    I agree with you generally, aside from this one off the top of my head.

    Shorten the intro and it would be great for a multiball mode.

    Tough call, I don't think it's popular enough though.

    Clearly Data East was exploring the option and fielded 9 prototypes in 1990 and it failed to launch.

    I'm sure there is richer themes to be mined currently.

    I'll add Beavis & Butthead to this list, already mentioned in this thread, but the hilarity and music you can have in a game like that would be nuts.

    I'd say Kong is far more popular now than in 1990. With the recent Monsterverse movies, I'd say there's some popularity. In 1990 the latest Kong movie would have been King Kong Lives and...well the less the said the better about that one. But for me it's just a selfish decision. I love the theme, don't care about others
