Quoted from Yokimato:I’m still hoping for a Futurama pin. Ridiculous amounts of content that would be perfect for callouts.
Zapp Brannigan: You win again, gravity!
Quoted from oneballjab:Great idea! That would re purpose nicely as Nakatomi building. It’s not Christmas until you’ve seen Hans Gruber fall from Nakatomi Tower.
Machine codename : Jingle Bells.
Quoted from LeMansFan:All in on a Total Recall pin.
3 boob multiball would be epic!
Data East had the licence back in the day and built a couple prototypes along with prototype playfield art work and back glass but it was never put into production.
Total Recall and Running Man should have both had pins!
Quoted from Sako-TRG:^^^^^^ Well, I know which team id rather hang with for a night on the town for a few beers
Lol……[quoted image]
Must be 330pm. Those boys are ready for the early bird special.

Love to hang with those gentlemen. I would just sit and listen.

This would be a good theme. Great show - surprised it never got done.

ABBA would be amazing.
I'm all about pinball quirk so my dream themes are pretty random:
Antiques Roadshow
Great British Bake Off
Price is Right
Deadwood
Snowpiercer
Star Trek Lower Decks or Disco
Stardew Valley, Celeste, Spelunky, Hades, Outer Wilds, Yoku's Island, Overcooked, FTL, Cuphead or some other sort of collaboration with a popular indie video game dev. There is so much good art and music being made by individuals and small teams (that have sold millions of games) that could bring a ton of new awesome stuff to pinball.

You could probably re-theme CC into deadwood, lots of similarities- Swearengen could be Bart, etc. It would have to have adult humor. And of course cocksucker multi-ball
Quoted from hiker2099:I want a Christmas Pin......"ELF" With Will Ferril.

Home Alone always seemed like a missed opportunity for a Christmas pin, have the booby traps incorporated into the game as mechs and modes.
Quoted from J85M:Home Alone always seemed like a missed opportunity for a Christmas pin, have the booby traps incorporated into the game as mechs and modes.
Home alone has always been in my top 10 Christmas movies. Elf though just makes me laugh every year. Either would be great I just wish I had a Christmas pin, I mean who doesn’t love Christmas.

I like what you're thinking! Antiques Roadshow could have been realistic if it hadn't been peaking as pinball was falling apart. It would be at least as good as Ripleys or RCT.
Stardew I could see happening if they're brave about the theme, the assets are already done, it could integrate well with the new insider profiles for a story mode you save progress on. It's wildly popular and would be a nice breather from superhero dino rockstar themes

In 473 pages of this damn thread, this is the safest and most practical choice. The license has gotta be in the discount bin by now. Sign me up!

Would make a great pin and hiring one person would get you half the voices.
But now it's owned by the Rat.

Disney?

As was Avengers and Mandalorian. Stern and Disney do business together. Make Futurama happen

Stern's new President came over from Disney.

...So he knows all about the crazy licensing fees they would charge!!!! LOL. But seriously, that might make him more aware of the less obvious do's and don'ts when licensing from Disney, to keep costs down to a minimum. It might be like a ala carte menu. every branded item costs!

I mean, Mandalorian came out like six months ago. Seems that working with Disney isn't quite the barrier some are thinking it is.
Quoted from Zartan:I’d like to know as well!
I’m guessing this is close...

I loathe New Country, but the classics would make a great theme.
Modes could include hurry-ups to prevent wife leaving, dog dying, pickup breaking down...

Or hurry up, wife leave!

I hate most new country myself but do yourself a favor and listen to the modern guys who still do it right like Lord Huron or Robbie Fulks. Sign me up for a Johnny Cash pin though.
Foo Fighters is a mistake, audience is too limited (even though I like the band). Now make a grunge themed machine and include Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots and you'd have Gen-X folks working up a froth to buy one.

Agreed, I’d go for that.
I watched a video of an Asian singer that was a contest in the late 70’s. He sang a sappy country western song with a slow tempo. I think he won too, but afterwards he was interviewed and had an interpreter with him. He didn’t speak any English and didn’t know what any of any of the words meant that he sang. They weren’t words to him but sounds to imitate like a parrot does.
As an operator of an all ages pinball spot I am frothing at the mouth for a Pokémon pin. I could prob retire on the coin drop. High possibility it never gets made though.

now playing: Pearl Smashing Pumpking Pilots

Probably decent for an operator in the right place but I suspect very few 40 and 50 year old guys would ever look at it.

It depends on the game itself. We can speculate all day long on playability of any game.
I personally love the idea of having a “Goonies” pinball machine! I would probably put down the deposit for any model available. The problem with that is I truly don’t know how it would play.
I’ve never really played a Pokémon game. My kids all play all the time, if I were watching them play a Pokémon pin I would probably throw a loonie or three to play it.
I know I wouldn’t buy it until I have played it though.
Bologna, if you will only play certain pins because you personally think the theme is cool, well…you’re going to miss out on a lot of awesome games.

Quoted from leaffan67:Deadwood please!!!!
Finally a machine with more swearing than The Sopranos
Quoted from horse_cop:Finally a machine with more swearing than The Sopranos
I have a suspicion that Stern will not be releasing adult content in their pins any longer… could be wrong, but it seems like their business model is very much PG now.

I didnt say the game wouldnt be good, I said 40 and 50 year old men won't buy the theme. Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

That is the age group range of whom would buy a new BTTF.
