I need tungsten to live…TUNGSTEN!

You might have some problems getting that strange child from Matilda onboard.

Is that supposed to be a "legally distinct" way of tracing another company's fantasy artwork? There are 400 pictures of that purple broad already from the last 15 years of Hasbro's publishing, looking suspiciously similar. This isn't even a good example, you see 6-foot-tall posters of this strange woman walking past comic stores and such.

Stern is finished. How much would it have cost to license the art etc. from the 1980s animated feature that everyone meant when they said "Heavy Metal"?

If it were based on the fantasy magazine established to avoid the Comic Code then it wouldn't be the lamest playfield anyone here's ever seen. If you think I can't recall 50+ covers of the magazine from memory in order to amuse myself by comparing them to this artwork then it explains why you're so bold in declaring this valid.

Even if it's for sale at Sam's Club or Target or whatever the plan is, does this save money? Is the artwork that big a part of the "BoM" when you're reskinning? How was it possible to remake Spiderman without triggering gag reflexes?

The purple lady and all the rest of it look worse than artwork designed for 2"×3" playing card artwork frames. Heavy Metal is full A4 hand-drawn mental artwork, the kind that would look good on a pinball machine. It's all highly incongruous. Everyone should look up "Heavy Metal magazine covers" in Google, sort to "Images" only, and sort out all but "Large". Some can be a bit questionable for an open family forum. The weird pterodactyl has black eyes, like a doll's eyes. Lifeless.

All that BTTF talk in the link is highly speculative. Does it bother taking in actual facts? The writer of the film said last week that he'd never license it for anything (remake was the example). Don't they think getting Crispin Glover would be harder than Alex Keaton? He'll sue the Fake Shemp off you over his likeness.

Who would get all involved in a pinball the way James Cameron did for T2? Sending dailies and everything. Mel Gibson pinball? Apocalypto? David Lynch pinball?

Split post, ignore.

What's the hot speculation on Brian Eddy's next project? Seems like a fun kind of thing to make educated guesses about, he's heavily teased a sequel to either Attack from Mars or Medieval Madness. This suggests Lyman on the code, and he types for machines with premium pricepoints these days. Will his schedule coincide with the release of Stern's next high-priced machine? Would a sequel to these machines have a Premium base model? Are there sales figures for the MM remake vs. the AFM? Enough threads to weave a rich tapestry of nonsense.

Sure they do, they buy the rights to use the license from Bally/Williams or whatever that slot machine company is called. Didn't Brian work for them forever this side of the 21st century? Probably an easy collaboration like with Chicago Gaming Company or whatnot. It's during the Stranger Things reveal video that he himself offered up the sequel to MM or AFM hint, while acknowledging that the hint was in fact more than a hint. He may have said the next machine would be "Medieval Madness 2 or Attack from Mars 3", referring to the similar layouts.
