“What is the lamest pinball theme of late?”

  • WOZ- Classic movie from the 30s that our grandparents watched and some of us enjoyed as kids but what does that have to do with anything now? 90 votes

Mustang. Not just because of the theme but the context too. So many rumors in the air back then about crazy dream themes and they just surprise every one with a theme no one was asking.

Quoted from Gatecrasher:

Why do you think creating a pinball machine after the Ford Mustang is the worst theme?
Don't you like Fords or something?
Remember, the question is about the theme - not your opinion of gameplay or anything else.

I'm not giving my opinion of gameplay or anything else.

Quoted from DefaultGen:

Mustang totally sticks out to me, a pinball machine based around a single car model in a land of TV shows, movies, and bands that have wider appeal.

Right on, we are in 2016. I think the segment they were targetting is way smaller than they thought.

Iron Maiden and Star Wars are my 2 dream themes

It's more than obvious that we are never going to agree on a lot of things lol

To each his own

Imagine if WOZ would have been the same pin and everything but the theme and toys would have been star wars.
