To the critics of this enjoyable thead: Even though I was there to witness this tragedy up close and personal (only a number of yards away!), I think a pinball discussion thread will never be this serious. I come here on Pinsides to enjoy myself and help forget all the tragedy that has already affected me. A tragic pinball design thread is very low on my list of concerns. I don't think there will be a "Flugtag '88" pinball being made anytime soon. JMHO. Playing pinball is a great way for me to have fun and forget the day to day worries of life. Yes, I will restate that I still think Warlok is a great pin design, but majorly flawed in the theme and artwork.

Hey,

Maybe tragic isn't the word, but I can't believe no one has said NASCAR in this thread. I haven't played the game enough to comment on it, but I guess "people driving in circles around a Walmart parking lot" cost too much for Stern to license?

+1

+2 I admit, there's a number of pins I haven't played that were mentioned, so I cannot comment on those. If a pin looks ugly, but plays great? Who cares? You're having the time of your life!

Reminds me of this:

Care to elaborate? My example I posted earlier fits this thread. I really dislike the looks of Warlok, but the way it plays makes it a great early Williams SS pin.

i just wanted an excuse to post that gif... It's for all great game bad themes out there.

For most of these cartoon or comic book to bad movie to pinball themes, they should have done what they did with JD - skip the bad movie. A classic Flintstones pin would be pretty cool.

Total WHAT??? Oh... Flags, flags...
