In today's current pinball climate, I vote for putting more machines on-location in bars and/or arcades. Runner-up choice: running tournaments or leagues in your local area.

Speaking of game design, I hope for better art packages in future pinball games. The art on Iron Maiden or POTC2 cannot hold a candle to games like Sorcerer or Tales of the Arabian Nights. I'd bet that neglected Aerosmith would have attracted more attention if the art package was nicer. It's not exactly aesthetically pleasing to the eye, to say the least. Then again, half of you are pinball curmudgeons who want the hobby to die out so maybe we should keep the machines as ugly as possible.
