Quoted from krupa:

But as a married guy with a six year-old daughter, no way.

At 6, it's time for your daughter to learn the value of self image. A game like that around the house is a good start.

I've played it and it is fun with a great layout.

A solid state version, coming in at about $3300 (no ramps or expensive toys to produce), would be a no brainer.

Quoted from DrStarkweather:

Not married, but I imagine if she can read 50 Shades of Gray, I can have cartoon bikini girls on a pinball game.

I know.

I like how all these guys married women who lack any self confidence.

"You can't have CFTBL because there is a cartoon woman in a one piece"

"OK, honey. Here are my balls"

Quoted from SilverBallz:

clearly your marriage is healthy if pinball machine art is going to cause friction.

Quoted from davewtf:

they had me at "gobble hole"

There was a woman bragging "I got it in the Gobble Hole!", when I was in line to play it.

I didn't have the heart to tell her...

Quoted from txstargazer3:

Nellie isn't innuendo, it is blatant and stupid.

Exactly! That is why the cow is saying "complete and udder nonsense".

He gets it.

Quoted from AkumaZeto:

Women who tell there husbands they cant own wh20 because of the girl on bg, are weak, low self esteemed women.

True words, my brother.

Part of the "problem" is simply the wives are American.

Whenever I'm in the UK, the daily newspaper features a "Page Three" topless woman. Yep, a naturally breasted, healthy woman, without a top, in the daily newspaper. Kids see her, grandma sees her, Father Mcmaster sees her. It's nice.

This would probably have American women rioting in the streets.

Quoted from HELLODEADCITY:

Well might make a nice test game - make 1000 of them for I duno say $1200-1500 ea and see if they sell,

I doubt if it could be sold for less than "The Pin" can be sold for.

Quoted from inhomearcades:

I appreciate the fact that someone took the time to make the machine, however for something with game play as basic as this I would rather have a old em like spiderman.

That is what is so great about pinball; there is something for everybody.

I think the gameplay is much better than Spiderman:

Yeah, I'd be interested if it was reworked into a modern pin with music, voices, ramps, the usual...jiggly melon toys or something. A really fun/funny audio package would tie the whole project together nicely, IMO.

Sure, it could be adapted to different cultures, too.

Quoted from pinmanguy:

This has me curious, is there a market for a pinball company to make simpler and cheaper games these days?

Like you've seen at Costco, "The Pin" costs $2500.

If you feel that is a good, simpler version of Transformers, then The Pin might be a good choice for you.

The manager at Costco said they have sold 9 of The Pin at his location.

Hard to say if this is average or not but 600 Costcos x 9 pins sold = 5,400 sold. That would be a BIG run of games by today's standards. Even half of that number would be a really decent run...
