I was thinking about this earlier. What pinball machine would you have liked to seen made that was never produced? Can be about anything..... movie, books, music, sports, or fantasy adventure.
My choice would be Army of Darkness, that movie had all the ingredients to be a great pin. Has great one liners, plenty of characters for toys and plenty of story to have a lot of different modes. Wish I could make
a vp or fp table I'd be all over that one.


Your Thoughts?

Good topic, let me see errrrrrr:

Predator
Aliens
Matrix (cant believe there was never one made)
Die Hard
Ghostbusters

I think would have all made great movie tie in tables

Fifth Element would have been cool. I really would have liked to seen a Gears of War table, that would have been sweet! Halo also. As far as sports go, a Stanley Cup table. Music, Led Zeppelin.
I don't mind being called a PINHEAD!

as far as I know, Noah is making a matrix table, as for a led zeppelin table i may make one, since i also love them.

Yep, The Matrix is 'in the works'.

I think Grand Theft Auto could have been fun, and still a viable idea.

Bill Paxton.

For real though, a Jimi Hendrix table with loud music and a ramp that's the neck of his guitar.

Goonies, Pink Floyd, GhostBusters, and Army of Darkness all have been made into tables!
But the Fifth Element huh? ok maybe that will be my next one although I am still leaning towards a Led Zeppelin table since they are popular still. (was thinking about a 'stairway to heaven' ramp) Hendrix sounds kool too esp that guitar neck ramp idea. and what ever happened to those two Michael Jackson tables? anyone have any special requests for a table? atm I have one wip and am helping both Itchigo and Practicedummy with theirs, but i can squeeze maybe two more wip's in there too!

A new Chicago cubs game when they win it all but may take many more years. They can make a over the top game and sell if more more then other games and the cubs fans will buy it.

May a new NHL / Blackhawks game as well.

That Cubs table will probably be released around the same time as Duke Nukem Forever. tup.gif

Good suggestions guys. I know my suggestion for a table had been made but now that VP9 kicks so much ass if someone was really good at original art layout and dmd animation, most of these pins that people suggest could be amazing. Oh another I just thought of, comic books, how could I forget? X-men, wolverine, or something live Marvel vs. DC comics. And for music I wish someone could get permission to do the custom AC/DC table.

Another movie pin Kill Bill but if I could make one of Tarantino's movies into a pin it would be reservoir dogs, there is a lot you could do with the different characters, Mr. Pink, Mr. White, Mr. Blonde, toys and dialogue and so forth. Could be some good action sequences for the dmd.

Just some more thoughts.
