Thank you. This is what I'm talking about. I think it counts as a trilogy even if all the machines are not from the same company. What do you think about that?
May I inquire wish ones you own?

I have a pair of who’s, Dr. Who and Who Dunnit. Not the same as a trilogy but still an oddity and proper pairing perhaps. They’re currently side by side if that counts for extra credit.

lol at Terminators with AC/DC. That cracked me up, thanks!

This is one I'm not sure about. I think all four machines you mentioned belong together but the Elvira themed machines definitely belong together. Crossover trilogy perhaps?

For a while I used to tell people I had the “ZZ Top Trilogy” because I happened to have 3 games that all had ZZ Top songs in them:

Back to the Future - Doubleback by ZZ Top
HSII the Getaway - La Grange by ZZ Top
Lethal Weapon 3 - Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top

I don’t know if there are any other machines with ZZ Top in them but I thought it was pretty wild that for a short time I had 6 machines and 50% of them featured ZZ Top. It wasn’t intentional, just happened to be the machines that came my way. I’ve since sold HSII and LW3; still have the BTTF though.

Now that is awesome! I didn't know any pinball machines, much less three of them, having ZZ Top music. Well played sir.

There's the Chicago major league sports quintuple with Frank Thomas Big Hurt (White Sox), Chicago Cubs Triple Play, Michael Jordan (Bulls of course), Bobby Orr Power Play (Blackhawks), and Stern NFL Chicago Bears.

I'm pretty sure this one has never been assembled as Data East only made 7 Michael Jordans.

Here's a really obscure one from Gottlieb: Amazon Hunt, Amazon Hunt II, and Amazon Hunt III. Look it up.

Road Show is arguably part of the Lawlor Disaster Series. With the earthquake.

Stern Electronics Dracula, BSD, and Monster Bash could be a trilogy.

X-men, Tron, and Rush could be a Borg trilogy, sort of. Or something.

Rollergames, WWF, and WWE are all theatrical-versions-of-sports games. Or Tag-Team Pinball, WWF, and WWE.

Grand Prix, Indy 500, and Mario Andretti could be a Formula 1 trilogy. There are other racing trilogies that could be done as well.

Various options for basketball trilogies.

BSD, Freddy's Nightmare on Elm Street, and JCH could be a "serious horror" trilogy.

Speaking of horror: Barracora, Space Invaders, and Alien could be an HR Giger trilogy.

Rocky, Ali, and Champion Pub. Or Title Fight.

James Bond (Gottlieb), Goldeneye, and James Bond (Stern) (upcoming)

Iron Man, Avengers, and AIQ for the three games that feature Iron Man and Black Widow (she's in AIQ, right?)

Godzilla (sega), Godzilla (stern), and Ultraman for a Kaiju trilogy.

Medieval Madness, X-men Premium/LE, and Hobbit for a pop up target trilogy.

I'm going to sleep now. There are probably more.

No, but replacing AC/DC with Last Action Hero would give you the Arnold Schwarzenegger Trilogy.
