    Quoted from pinmister:

    One of my dream themes-Mission Impossible with tons of hurry ups. The music alone makes this theme worthy.

    Nice! I can totally see that

    #203 7 years ago

    Beavis and Butthead. Never thought of that, that would absolutely rule as a pinball machine. Please make, I will buy.

    Quoted from Hougie:

    How exactly has no one mentioned a Bruce Lee Pinball machine? I would be all over that. I could dig The Crow too. Have martial arts and pinball ever crossed paths? Why not?

    I agree 1000% on Bruce Lee! Not a big fan of The Crow, though. There have been two martial arts pins I know of: Dragon Fist and Black Belt.

    Now here's a theme that covers martial arts AND 70s blaxploitation!

    #215 7 years ago
    Quoted from TheLaw:

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

    A pinball machine based on the first season would be the best. The later seasons got weird and campy, but the dark and dissonance of the first season really would be nice to see on a pinball machine.

    And it was advertised on TV "IN COLOR"

    Batman dark knight rethemed vault. With Stern's first color display.

    You all know its coming.

    My dream theme now would be a campy "King of Tokyo". I actually really like the art style from the board game. The warm and cool contrast remind me of a game like Monster Bash. This theme would borrow heavily from the Kaiju films which started in the 30s, 50s, etc.

    That could work really well.

    - Pick a monster at startup like picking a side in TF.
    - Battle the other monsters for game challenges.
    - Have a mini playfield and gameplay in there is "in Tokyo" and gameplay applies to all other monsters.
    - Successful combos build up dice rolls and damage whatever monster has cycled into Tokyo, and/or heal yourself (if you can rack up 20 health points, you capture an extra ball).
    - Maybe ball locks are like racking up energy cubes, and you can spend them to choose a powerup at the start of multiball.
    - Successfully completing the multiball challenge makes that powerup permanent.

    This theme is a great idea!

    Classic 80s cartoons.
    #1 being Scooby Doo. Mystery Machine smash toy, collecting Scooby Snacks, multiballs with the different characters, solving puzzles to see what old man was dressed as a ghost. Plus the colors/art of the show would really pop.

    Scooby Doo is OK here because it was from the 60s. So try to keep this thread from going off topic please!

    Nope.. somewhat similar looking, but the car in the movie was a dodge interceptor (based on the m4s turbo concept)

    I'm a kid of late 70s/early 80s cartoons and didn't even realize scooby doo was 60s.
    Wwf snme to make up for that turd they released a few years back

    I watched the first one and everyone after that. I've always liked cartoons, but the golden age of Saturday morning was definitely the late 60s until the Kroft brothers took over with all their shows. But in the 60s there was Scooby, Spiderman, Fantastic Four, Hot Wheels, and many more.

    Bonus of 80s was we had all the great 50s and 60s shows like looney tunes, spiderman, scooby doo, flintstones, jetsons, tom and jerry, mighty mouse and new shows like he-man, transformers, wwf superstars, inspector gadget, astroboy, garfield, etc...

    #238 7 years ago

    Having a kid in the 2000s I watched a lot of Spongebob and Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy among others. We had all those old skool cartoons you mentioned when I was a kid too, And some not so politically correct ones that no way would they show them now.

    Im sure this won't surprise anyone. But I hate all old movies as much as I hate all old games. Super out on all these themes. There's no such thing as a classic. The word "timeless" never applies to a movie. Anything more than about 15 years old looks super cheesy and all effects look silly.

    I totally understand that. But since pinball has stopped dead in it's tracks theme wise for over 20 years now we have to take what we can get. The old man rock themes they chose do nothing for, and the movies they are chosing really suck. So if it's got to be old it might as well be cool. That's the purpose of this thread.

    #242 7 years ago

    This needs to be done so badly.....Truly Timeless

    You are so black & white Timeless can definitely apply to a movie...especially movies that aren't dominated by special effects. Even a Sci-Fi moving like Gattaca still seems modern (and it's going to be 20 years old next year...). Never say never...

    #244 7 years ago
    Quoted from o-din:

    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.

    How about Emergency ? Maybe something set up like Rescue 911 with helicopter and Fire Engine.

    #245 7 years ago
    Quoted from nman:

    Kolchak: The Night Stalker.
    Or, for a slightly more realistic (and probably better) option:

    A retheme of Junkyard maybe would work.

    Well, everyone has different tastes that's for sure. But EVERY movie over 15 years old? Sheesh Mad Max or Road Warrior are just 2 that come to mind, either of those is still awesome today. Still fun to watch and the action is awesome, and they did all that without any fancy CGI, they just smashed and crashed cars like crazy the old-fashioned way with stunt people. I went and saw Fury Road, I liked it, it was crazy and of course the special effects were awesome, but it fell far short of those 2 originals. Also, what about Animal House? No one can hate Animal House, can they??

    More opinions..that's all.

    Anyway, original Mad Max was 1979, so it qualifies for O-Din's thread, just barely. A Mad Max machine would be pretty awesome for me.

    #247 7 years ago

    How about: Cannon ball run, strange brew, or clash of the titans

    #248 7 years ago

    The Dark Crystal.

    #249 7 years ago

    Return of the Living Dead, Hellraiser, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm St. Bride of Reaminator although it's 1990.

    #250 7 years ago

    Has this thread turned into "what show can I possibly remember from the 80s'"? Seriously would you purchase a pinball from 90% of the suggested themes here? Could they even license them? Could you picture a pinball machine from the suggestions?
