Maybe an aquatic theme, deep sea or something like that. Sharks, Octopus, even bring it up higher and do a barrier reef mode or something like that with a six ball multiball to simulate the fish on the barrier reef. I could see some interesting toys and modes...maybe even throw in a shark cage with a diver, have to save the diver from the sharks or something.

I think it could work with some thought.

I thought Spelunking was a good idea too, wide open theme with cave collapse modes, stalactite multiball etc.

Thermonuclear war, everyone loves hydrogen bomb multiball...

Actually, maybe not bad, modes trying to avert the bomb, play as different countries etc.

It's somewhat easier and less expensive, I would expect, to build a table without having to think too much about creative concepts and use others work. Not that I don't enjoy playing them...

Quoted from Doc:

What about a hardcore Steampunk-themed pin? It would be near limitless what can be done with THIS theme...
Doc

Yes, that would be cool, clockwork stuff would be neat, interesting toys...

I'm not sure that people misunderstanding the original question equates to an accurate analysis like you're doing. But interesting to think about anyway.

Quoted from Spraynard:

Good point. As a control, you should start a thread asking for licensed themes and ill count how many mistaken original themes we get. My guess is not many.

That's kind of twisted logic. . Why not start a poll asking if you would like to see an original theme, yes or no.
