I'd like to see Williams re-open a small division for new production runs of previously made machines. Even leave it up to the public which ones get built! Vote with your credit card, commit to an order, ...

What? You mean like The Pinball Factory - that bought the all the Williams licences, and took people's money with the promise of making re-runs of Medieval Madness and Catcus Canyon...what was it? 5? years ago?
If it didn't p so many people off it would be funny. shutup1.gif

I agree Wizard of Oz could be a great theme. I have in fact downloaded many sound bites and graphics. It's such a big story though that it is hard to come up with a layout that includes a lot of it.

I have always thought as well that Blade Runner would be a good one.

I think Phantom of the Opera could be done better than the real one.

Alice in Wonderland would be a great theme.

Saw
Bambi
Dexter
Hubble Space Telescope
Anything (else) Star Trek
Gladiator

just to name a few I have considered.

Sexy Time Pinball would be a good one. Pinball, but sexy time! JK.

How about a pinball themed pinball? Man my creative juices are flowing! Oh wait, I guess silverball mania kinda did that one.

We talked with george gomez & he agreed that "The Mummy" would make a good pin. Plus there really isn't any good mummy/egypt/pyramid themed pins in real life, right?

Btw, Gladiators was done but it wasnt based on the movie at all.

I would honestly just like my pin to have a completely original theme. By that, I mean stuff like Embryon which is 100% original, based on nothing.
Its just great to see original ideas rather than pick what existing pop culture themes I want to see on a pin.

So if I could make a custom pin it would be something original, maybe using some L.Royo type art for some babes (sphere uses Royo paintings). Just something along those lines. Not cuz I'm a sex crazed 15 yr old, but Stern has taken "sexy time" out of pinball, & I wanna put it back in (if you know what I mean!). Where's da boobs!

So I take some busy hand drawn babes, probably place them in a sci-fi type world, think Sin City or something like that. My table might be along the lines of an Eala Dubh original. Darius or Card Sharks. Modern but with a hint of simplicity, a dash of early SS feel, yet with a DMD of course. My DMD would be colored.
My backglass art would go back to old school where there is an attract mode & a bunch of small bulbs behind the BG, rather than todays translites just lit up by a single flourescent lamp. Yet my PF would be slighly widebodied just like the "superpin" line (IJ, TZ, JD, RS, STTNG).

That's all I got, only thought about it for a minute, maybe I could come up with something really cool if I spent a few days thinking about it, I'd have more details on the gameplay.

I believe Toy Story 3 would be a fantastic theme for a Pinball table. The youth would surely enjoy it and learn some maths along the way... biggrin.gif

How about "Blade Runner" pinball.

This is a hard question because some of my favorite themes are already pinball like Batman, Jurassic Park, Ninja Turtles, Independence Day, Attack from Mars (the Alien theme), and Freddy Kreuger Gottlieb.

So, I probably say how about some hot women get their own games like Mandy Moore, Avril Lavigne, Marilyn Monroe, and Melissa Joan Hart.

I guess in regarding theme as in movies again how about Jason Vorhees, Leprechaun (from the movies), Snow White pinball, and Ghostbusters as someone else mentioned.

Toy Story would be a pretty good pinball too.
