I didn't find a poll on this already, so I was curious. (If it has, please let me know. Then troll my thread 
) Since colordmd is working on it, which game would you like to see?
If there is a game not listed you would prefer, please throw it in below. I ran out of options, so I didn't get Metallica in. Mention it below and I will keep track.
Quoted from Phatchit:LOTRs would be pretty cool ,but TSPP would look incredible !!!
Quoted from Mato:Lotr would look good
I would prefer LOTR personally, but I think you could make a good case for almost every game above.
I'd be in for Avengers, Tron, Iron Man, AC/DC and Spiderman tomorrow. the order doesn't even matter, I'm just excited that Sterns might get color!!!!!! Seeing Stewie in color in Family Guy is also a no brainer.

I almost insta-voted LOTR but then I though about it for a minute and I think TSPP would get the most out of it. The cartoon style animations would probably translate really well.
But then they need to do LOTR right after that..
Hopefully no game with FMV until they improve on the technology.
Otherwise, they will look like colorized movies did back in the 80's. 
At this point, I'd be happy to be able to buy a Sigma (single color) one for Stern games and patiently wait for multi color versions to happen.
LOTR is the safe bet (as you can see from the votes).
I have my doubts on any of the games that use compressed video footage on the DMD. If they are going to try that.....might as well go with Spider-Man.
Personally...I picked X-Men. I think it has the best DMD animations of any game I have seen. Avengers would be close but it isn't full screen all of the time like X-Men is.
TSPP is begging for color!
pins that use footage from the movies will probably look bad on the color dmd.
in this way lotr, tspp will look great because the animations are all made from scratch for the dmd.

I don't know if I agree with this logic. The reason the movie footage looks bad is because single color shading in DMDs does not distinguish details well. If you have different colors it should be able to show the movie footage details much better than the dot matrix single color. For example, in SM you could see the differentiation between Peter Parker's face and his costume.
Quoted from PinballManiac40:And some LOTR shots in Sigma mode as well.
I can't wait until the Simga turns into full color HD animation.
That will be a worthy upgrade to have.
I have to say... That does look pretty hot.
TSPP by a mile.

The real challenge with the games that have movie footage would be the sheer amount of work necessary to color them. There's going to be a LOT of different frames to match, then each one would need to be colored on a dot-by-dot basis as compared to hand drawn stuff where you can color with a broad stroke. If done correctly, it could make the movie footage look way better.
Quoted from Zitt:Star Trek. Seriously.
I wanted it to be an LCD....
I think that TSSP has the most opportunity to look good, but I don't have one so I voted LotR. Metallica would also be BADASS with the Dirty Donny dots.
If they do LotR, I hope that they show some restraint and still keep the palette somewhat monochrome for the most part...the game looks so damn good with the orange/yellow color palette and incandescent bulbs, so I wouldn't want it to be crazy colorful.
Quoted from LTG:Angry Birds.
LTG : )
LOL, Lloyd.
Quoted from tilt-master:Games like IM and SM have actual movie footage, I'm not sure how well this would translate. LOTR would be great to see first.
This is the reason I chose SM... the movie footage looks terrible on a normal DMD, but with added color it might be nice... so IM and SM may see the best improvement of all.
