As stated in this thread by others, Maiden is a retheme, of Archer.

Also someone else brought up a good point. Maiden’s reception as a theme is very reminiscent of Dialed In where folks often state the game’s weakest link is it’s theme.

The Pro looks great. Can’t wait to see what they do to the Premium & possibly buy one. I am going to look into swapping out the songs for instrumentals if I buy it but would prefer a retheme from the jump.

However, theme isn’t everything. To me the ultimate theme is Star Wars but I didn’t buy one even with space, funds & wife approval all 3 perfectly aligned.

Wait... what if Maiden was rethemed as Star Wars?

Me: I dont like Maiden's music
Them: Dont buy it then

KME: I dont like Maiden's music (rumored)
Them: Don't make the game then

What we have here is a game nearly everyone likes with a theme half of us dislike including, allegedly, the designer.

The theme does translate well to pinball with the art & so called metal vibe so I will likely get one. I dont particularly like Aerosmith or The Walking Dead but I own the pinball machines because they're great.

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

I wasn't around when AC/DC and Metallica were released - did this kind of silliness happen when they were released?

No

Quoted from okayestpinballer:

Use Pinball_Browser.exe to replace the music with crap from your Taylor Swift CDs and then stick your Hello Kitty stickers all over the playfield.

Hilarious

So because someone doesnt like Maiden that means they like Hello Kitty?

Maybe Maiden isn't metal enough for some folks.

Do you listen to Cannibal Corpse, bench 500lbs & eat a kilo of cocaine with a bowl of razors every day?

If not then you must like Miley Cyrus.

Quoted from Hazoff:

What a joke this is, so you didn't get the theme u wanted with this great layout? Thats happens for me 99% of the time with new pinball machines so suck it. Oh and also Iron Maiden = Greatness.

Lol, true

Except the Maiden = Greatness part
