Quoted from Gunnut40:What is old less than a year?
In pinball there is no "old". Classic maybe, but no old.
Even after our heroes are shadows of their former selves or die, their younger selves are emblazoned on our newest pinball machines for all of eternity and all future generations to worship and see.
Quoted from o-din:This one always seems to come up, but I'd go with the original 1976 "Gumball Rally' over that one.
Or better yet "Death Race 2000" from 1975.
One thing's for sure, the 70s have been way overlooked in today's pinball marketing.

"What'd you expect? Another pretty face?"
Hitchcock's The Birds...think Murder Multiball...no...Murderball! It should have more balls in play than Apollo 13 for the most insanity giving you Vertigo perhaps?
Halloween (1978), Blade Runner, nightmare before Christmas, Pulp fiction, the shining, Westworld, and the good the bad and the ugly.
Quoted from pacmanretro:Ok ok, I'll go back to the western themes...
How 'bout one more:
+1 Rollerball
-1 Roller Games (only because, well it’s Roller Games... game play is fine, but the theme and that song... NOoooo!!!)
Jaws. And I want there to be two primary game modes, one where you're trying to defeat the shark and another game mode where you are the shark trying to wreck as much shit as possible. I'm ignoring all costs of actually doing any of this
If it could do a BoP thing and have either the shark on one rotation or the Orca ship on the other (depending on mode) that'd be amazing. Make them bash toys. If the shark doesn't somehow eat the ball, someone fucked up bad.
Other ideas
For human
- shut down the beach, timed mode to make all the major shots to "close access" to the beach
- attach "barrels" to the shark which lights up the pop bumpers (which are the yellow barrels). Get all three for super pops
- Smile You SOB, hurry up shot to hit the Shark to defeat the shark
For shark
- feeding frenzy, timed frenzy mode to eat as much as possible
- hit pop bumpers to shake off the yellow barrels
- boat sink, hit the bash to make the Orca sink
- have a lower playfield shark where you are swimming around and attacking the legs of swimmers. (LE feature)
For both
- simple video mode to smash on flippers to chase a victim or escape the shark depending on perspective
- upper playfield Orca boat deck
Multiball
- Shark Cage - hit it to open a door, lock a ball inside, drop it into the machine playfield and come back up empty
Quoted from AVH7401:First Blood (Rambo series)
Yes. I’ve been saying this. Good violence theme.
Quoted from Bublehead:Sound of Music?
That might be the perfect theme for JJP to enter the world of music pinball games.
It doesn't get more family friendly than that.
Actually that makes a lot of sense @o-din. Would they be bold enough to put a Nuns verses Natzi mode in it? But that actually sounds like a real pin title...
The Nuns v.s. The World
Oh, and just so I don’t get the expected flames on this, born and raised Roman Catholic right here... and Yes I loved the “Penguin” from The Blues Brothers.
Quoted from ClassicHornet:The Running Man
[quoted image]
Running man would be a home run. Crap. It’s got built-in modes. Hey! Easy license swap from Predator to this! You can even keep some of
The Arnold artwork!

Seems more of an AP title to me..
I know theres a Robocop and Alien well kinda and Predator? OK but I'm talking Stern versions across the board

Warriors come out and playeeyay, warriors come out and playeeyay. Could make a decent pin out of this movie.

Strange Brew would be a Beauty, Eh?
