    Satan's Hollow
    +1 on Mr. Do!
    Dig Dug

    I'd also like to see some old Atari classics made into pinballs:

    River Raid
    Pitfall

    Zoo Keeper:
    I'd have a big rectangular "zoo" made out of drop targets. You'd have to bust them all out to start the zoo jailbreak, just like in the game. (Like, knocking the drop target walls down starts a 10 ball multiball, or something equally dumb and loud).

    Elevator Action:
    Re-Themed Pinball Circus.

    Frogger:
    Mini playfield at the top with 5 captive scoops, just like in the video game. Get your frog (the ball) to safety.

    Tough call. I'd go with Smash TV.

    Break Out.

    Quoted from chad:

    Now that there are so many of us making pinball machines , what is your favorite classic arcade game to transfer into a pin??
    I would go with Robotron: 2084 or Sinistar.

    I'd love a Robotron themed pin! Have a video mode where you play a tank wave. Have one Mikey mixed in with the other humans on the screen and if you collect him it starts multiball and now YOU are shooting the balls at the tanks. Clear the wave to light a nice, fat jackpot.

    Zaxxon or Pitfall

    Quoted from vdojaq:

    Isn't that a Bally Spectrum?

    It sort of is... Good call.

    #63 7 years ago

    **Polybius **

    #64 7 years ago

    I'd go with Front Line or Elevator Action. Both from Taito.

    #65 7 years ago

    Moral Kombat...20 plus years later.....still hooked on it

    #66 7 years ago

    +1 for Zaxxon or pitfall. Spelunker would be cool too, but it would have to have an elevator that takes the ball to a mini playfield

    #67 7 years ago

    I want to play that game. "Finish him! Duality!"

    #68 7 years ago

    Pong

    I suppose the rest of you read about the Zelda pin that Jon Norris designed for Gottlieb.

    Nibbler.

    Nice. Always like to see dedicated cabs.

    #78 7 years ago

    How about Rampage ? That could be cool .

    #79 7 years ago

    surprised no one said centipede or millipede

    #80 7 years ago

    Come on people... MARBLE MADNESS!

    I second the idea of a Dragon's Lair.

    you could probably make a pretty bad-ass themed Pac-Man table. with yellow 'Powerball' feature?

    These aren't purely arcade games, but in no particular order I'd really love to see any of:

    Metal Gear: Lots of cool weapons/gear and scenario potential. Could have various crazy "alarm" modes when you're discovered by the enemy and both jungle and compound settings.

    Ninja Gaiden: Great music, story, and bosses. Lots of material from many different games to work with. Plus, who doesn't love ninjas?

    Castlevania: Even better music, bosses and abundance of of material. I could see the playfield-as-a-castle potential being really awesome. Also, weapons and wall-meat.

    Splatterhouse: Amusing story and the closest thing to a Friday the 13th machine I'll probably get until I build one myself.

    Mortal Kombat.

    #83 7 years ago
    Quoted from maffewl:

    Mortal Kombat II.

    #84 7 years ago

    Asylum

    but I'm wondering how to get Rembrandt and Einstein together for this textual fantasy.

    #85 7 years ago

    Zaxxon would be my real pic, with a conveyor belt playfield. P3 would be good for this.

    #86 7 years ago

    I was going to say you could incorporate the game Astroids into pinball somehow, and then I saw one of the mini games being released on the Multimorphic P3 machine called Rocs.
