Fathom and Centaur are great looking. But for me the overall package of a great looking game is TOTAN.
Most new games are out. The playfields are uninspired clip art. Except for maybe games like Hobbit, Ghostbusters and Aerosmith. But they are nowhere near best looking. Heck, PBR tried harder than most.
Pretty weak? It just plain sucks.The playfield is the main piece of the look of the game. It is based on a bad movie about a bad reboot of the Star Trek universe so there isn't much to work with, but throwing a couple of baked potatoes on the ramps makes it comical.
Back to the serious discussion. I'll also give props to Pharaoh and POTO. Something about those games catches your eye.
Quoted from pcprogrammer:Haha, playfield lights aren't even on. Try again.
That is all IPDB had. I don't have to try and make it look bad.
Here are your lights -
Quoted from pcprogrammer:My only point is that most are focused "only" on the playfield artwork. I was just looking at the overall package. Star Trek is beautiful when turned on and playing it, I do agree the playfield artwork does nothing, it doesn't look bad though, just kinda plain.
OK, still don't see it.
Quoted from pcprogrammer:I don't think it's "god awful", just kinda plain. Everything else they did more than makes up for it in my opinion.
Maybe you just have to be a Star Trek fan, but I love looking at this machine...
Quoted from TheLaw:I love Star Trek so much I don't even consider those shit movies as Star Trek
Exactly! I've been a fan my whole life. Until the abominations came along.
Quoted from jonesjb:I really don't like playing TOTAN, it's too reliant on the lamp for scoring AND it's too easy to progress to rescue the princess via collecting jewels at the scoop. HAVING said that, it IS a beautiful machine and I'd say it's top 5, above Star Trek at least.
In order to be a candidate for this thread, the pin needs to create the "World under glass" feel.
Yes I totally agree, the game play is too easy to collect jewel by skipping with wishes. But this thread is about looks. Still, getting a Lightning Lamp with Multiball is great. Art, sound and animations are great.
Quoted from Cappi:Oh you mean the one where they went to find God? Or was it the whale one?
Ouch, the Search for God one was so bad. Is that the one where Scotty knocked himself out on a beam? I was sure they were just doing the movie for a quick check. It was more like 3 Stooges in Space. Everyone was trying to make a serious movie (with a bad script) and the major actors showed up on the set stoned.
Quoted from Who-Dey:Gotta agree with this. BM66 is a beautiful pinball machine.
You forgot the emogi ->
