    “would you consider buying a pinball machine themed on BACK TO THE FUTURE or JAWS if it followed the story of the movie, there were no movie scenes included, the movie scenes were recreated with animations, and original voice work was included?”

    I'd be fine with either without movie clips. Well done comic art in the style of Zombie Yeti or Zornow Must Be Destroyed would actually be my preference. I'm not one of those dying for either theme, but of the two, Back to the Future would be my choice. If they could get sound clips from the movies, plus Christopher Lloyd doing some custom callouts that would be pretty amazing. I picture shooting shots to build a counter up to 88 mile per hour in order to start the modes.

    Quoted from life_boy:

    Definitely no. Back to the Future isn’t just a movie about time travel....it’s a movie about THESE characters time traveling. The lauded ride at Universal Studios back in the day got that right and made sure that the actors were involved.

    While I agree with you that "Back to the Future isn't just about time travel," I feel as if that is the part that translates the best to pinball. A lot of the rest of the plot is, well...weird. The most important things for me would be things like the DeLorean, flux capacitor, OUTATIME, 88 mph, 1.21 gigawats, and the clock tower. I could see having some modes with skateboard / hoverboard, guitar, and the sports almanac. Give me that plus Christopher Lloyd narrating and I feel like it would work pretty well.
