Which Retro Licensed Pinball Theme Not From The 80s Would You Like To See Next?

This is the golden age of pinball. From dead rock stars to movies some of you probably still have on Beta and VHS anything seems possible.

As the aging modern pinball collector watches his hairline recede and his waistline grow large he can fill his house with these memorials to a simpler time before marriage, kids, never ending work weeks, and the high stress of internet forums for the meager price of six to eight thousand dollars a pop.

Yes, this is truly the golden age of pinball. I think we've pretty much covered the 80s lately so I'd like to see more suggestions from some of the other great decades.

When I say "Lost in Space" it is not my fault they remade that crap! Original could be done really well.

Why don't you go start an 80s only thread. I'm sure you will get a lot of participation.

I agree that's a good one. When I think of the 70s it seems most have already been done. Star Wars, Rocky, Dirty Harry.

But another good one might be

Oh man with all the battle sounds!!!! Could imagine a full salvo of 9-16 inch Battle Ship guns going off for a Super Jackpot. And put a 300 watt powered sub on it...you'd shake the house down. It might not sell to well in Germany though.

They haven't even scratched the surface of the 70s yet! One of the most iconic decades as far as music, TV, and motion picture ever! Not to mention the culture.

WWII First Person Shooters were king a few years ago. And I still wish they'd go back to them. Never really put too much thought into those types of video games in where they were sold at. Were they never sold in Germany? Maybe they don't mind shooting Nazi's?

A WWII theme'd pin is something I've been fantasizing about for a while. The artwork can look fantastic. So many different directions it can go. Pin-up themed, battleworn themed, textured based.

2001, the ultimate stop and go pin. "OPEN THE POD BAY DOORS HAL!" "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that." *machine goes dead, kicks all balls to the drain, and....

No, that actually ends your ball.

Planet of the apes would make me go ape shit....in a good way of course.
Scooby doo would probably sell well and connect with non pinheads
Grateful dead still has a huge following, and some actually earn money these days.game would need to be set to 5 ball with extra long ball times. Could you imagine the artwork...
But yea of those mentioned planet of the apes for the win so far.
