  • 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

WOF will be better when it's remade with an LCD but it's bad theme.

WrestleMania might get my vote...but I feel like I'm forgetting one.

Quoted from jar155:

Yes, the Rolling Stones were well past their time, but they have a big enough following to be worthy of a game. Same goes for KISS.

Plus they have previous machines so the legacy factor gives them a boost.

Quoted from mkecasey:

WPT - I like the game but find a big disconnect between poker and pinball.

Can;t get much more classic in pinball than poker/card themes

Quoted from sevenrites:

I'm not sure why there's so much WOZ hate, I think it was ballsy to go for that as the theme on the first pin from a new company and they pulled it off extremely well.

"Pulling it off" well does not have anything to do with whether it's a good theme or not.

Quoted from o-din:

I would beg to differ. Did you ever see the movie?

Seriously, there is NOTHING that 1984 couldn't do!

Quoted from TxJay:

You may want to take a look at that Avatar pin you have in your collection. That would probably get my vote as an absolutely horrible theme for a pin.

And that's where you're wrong, as Avatar was a record breaking beast at the box office....

....And just a god awful movie

Quoted from Hougie:

Roller Coaster Tycoon is a pretty bad theme.

Video game themes always rough, good point.
EDIT; and too old

Quoted from o-din:

How did I miss Alien? Just what we need, a movie from the Carter era.

WEll hold on now. What if I told you, it doesn't have any characters from the movie? Would that make it better?

Shit it took you 3 months to figure that out?

Quoted from weapon76:

... Woah Nellie would be miles ahead and WWE second spot

Whoa Nellie is an awesome theme. Times have changed, if machines aren't made after completely bland ideas now, no one gives a shit. For every TZ & STTNG, there were great games made aboot rafting, fishing (imagine if Stern said the new machine was aboot fishing...this goddamn place would burn to the ground), cars, magic, genies etc. ...those are some of the best DMD games ever made. Now it has to some wacky shit you grew up with so 4 people can make 40,000 aboot how they get boners from movies they've seen a bunch.

You're farming melons....Fantastic. Just as good as getting drunk in a park. Remember when you used to get drunk in parks? Daisy may does.
