I've got some cool ideas for some Movie based Pinball Tables.

*DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978)

*PHANTASM

*RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD

*FORBIDDEN PLANET

and more....

I am not able to produce these Pinball Tables i am just giving you ideas and with VPX out you can probably make those if you want.

 

What are your ideas, can you get them to work?

Those are all great ideas for tables. I've imagined a Dawn of the Dead pin with an upper and lower playfield that resembles the upper and lower levels of a mall with a ramp that looks like an escalator. And zombies all over the place, of course.

 

Phantasm would be perfect as well... it's already got a theme with shiny silver balls.

 

"The Last Starfighter" would be cool. And though it's TV, I think a "Breaking Bad" pin would sit real nice next to a "Sopranos".

Yeah Phantasm screams to be made as a Pinball. Look at the Poster art of Phantasm II,

http://img2.wikia.no.../Phantasm_2.jpg

doesn't the logo look already like pinball art ? There's a Online version of Phantasm,

http://www.newground...d/4fc40173f3823

the idea is good but it does look very puny.

 

I think a "Breaking Bad" pin would sit real nice next to a "Sopranos".

This sounds very cool, i have some other ideas too

*Malcolm in the Middle

*Falling Skies

*Space - above and Beyond

and more of cause!

 

But we need a good artist for the graphics - someone at deviantart i suppose!

I started one based on The Last Starfighter - making it more of a pin2K type thing, but it was much too ambitious for my beginner VP skills ;). One of the most frustrating things was that even though it was designed as a full screen cabinet table from the beginning (and only tested that way), when I actually tested it on my cab, it acted completely different.

Yeah how  about making a Pinball 2000 type of game (George Gomez can't forbid that) of a Movie, Tv-Series or videogame

 

About Breaking Bad i can already hear "HEISENBERG MULTIBALL" or "THE ONE WHO KNOCKS - REPLAY" in my imagination!

We must have: The Thing, Dawn of the Dead, Escape From New York, and BLADE RUNNER (if it's done by a master).

Yes sir.... i think you can do it! :tup:

Has someone seen the "Ghostbusters" table done by Farsight in "Pinball Arcade" that was just a makeover of Gottlieb's "Haunted House" :unsure: ,

sure i did such a makeover by turning "Goin' Nuts" into a Fix und Foxi Table, the difference is "they" are well educated programmers having all the tools of the trade and i am just a guy who put new graphics into an existing game without having little to no experience in such a thing!

I've expected more of them!

Phantasm rules! the ball is good enough to be the actual ball in play or maybe as a trigger somewhere

or maybe go after the Tall Man in an event somehow

I agree Blade Runner screams for a build or how about Logans Run?

  I hope they all get made


Total Recall with Arnie not the newer one

How about Dragon's Lair, The game by digital leisure. Or did they make one?

You can find the laser disk sound samples online. Waaay beyond my reach. I'm still trying to figure this whole thing out on a desktop.

If it ain't broke, it's probably a good idea to take it apart anyway!

I just post here to hear myself type.
