Quoted from ForceFlow:Wizard of Oz is simply part of our culture, and everyone has heard of it and probably seen the movie. It's spanned multiple generations. It's a classic.
The movie is old as dirt, a true great classic fantasy, its an excellent game but StarTrek is a superior theme for pinball. Leading to this....
Quoted from ForceFlow:Star Trek...is a niche theme. Possibly with a limited shelf life.
Yeah, because its only been huge in the "geek/nerd" culture since the late 60's. Definitely a limited shelf life
All in all though, Im good with JJP choosing a theme I had zero interest in for their first machine to work all the company start up and new program bugs out. Cmon Hobbit!!!!
