Good idea! If true to the Old Testament stories, even violently, surely some larger Church and Synagogue’s would purchase the game for their youth group areas. Who knows, it might surprise us.

I agree. The market for a Bible Adventures or Fire and Fury themed pinball really isn't Pinside or the typical arcade locations. If the source material is followed closely (unlike the movie Noah as others have pointed out), I could see a lot of these selling to Jewish and Christian congregations for their youth communities. Heck, Ben could even play upon the violence or add some humor to it and the game would still be viable as long as the material isn't reimagined.

I'm not a marketing person, but I think this would be such a unique game and without a lot of similar-themed commercial competition for youth group entertainment, that it would sell well. I read that there are about 350,000 congregations of various sizes and denominations in the US. I think at least a few thousand would entertain the idea of a Bible Adventures pin. Some of these organizations send missionaries all over the world and even have their own private school systems.

As far as pinheads keeping their religion and pinball separate, I agree. That's why Pinside and collectors would probably only be a small percentage of potential sales. It also probably wouldn't be a good arcade game for routes. Still, if some of the ideas put forth in this thread are included in game play and there's a mode where Samson slays thousands with the jawbone of an ass, I'd probably buy one.

Ben could drop flyers at the major national religious group meetings and probably make enough sales to make the game worthwhile. The Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting (about 46,000 congregations) would be a great place to drop game flyers and it’s just one of many. So, it wouldn’t be necessary to go door to door, other than maybe some of the mega Churches.

Most medium and larger congregations have several big money donors. The wealthy take a hit as greedy and selfish, but a few of them donate generously. I think that idiot Olsteen in Texas brought in enough to have a private plane.

Point is, don’t automatically dismiss the possibility that there might be a non-pinhead market for this specific game. Didn’t a bunch of Metallica LEs get sucked up by their club members? I seem to recall a big kerfuffle about that. You never know.

Please say it isn't so. .

I guess I’m weird, I’d gladly own both Bible Adventures and Playboy. . Though I wouldn’t risk placing them side by side.
