Titles and themes that have not been explored in pinball.
Is there a theme or title that has not been made that you would love to see in production?
For me I would dig on a nrl or punk rock themed pin in a heartbeat....I would prob be the only buyer though.... :lol
-
My favorite Movie of all time is "Escape from New York". That would be an awesome theme.

Hell yes!!
Snake Pliskin is back!!
One of John Carpenters best for sure, fantastic director...although I will always have Halloween as my #1 JC film.
EFNY is slotted for a remake as well.
-
Would have to be a "Snake Pliskin Ramp" and a "Duke" Ramp. Video mode could be the fight in the ring, and the match animation would be the image of Snake Pliskin rolling out the audio tape (at the end of the movie).
So many modes !
-
+1
Great ideas
Bridge chase mode for sure, glider on the trade center as a toy, cabbies taxi as a toy. The apron could be the top of the wall of the prision, the backglass is the movie poster..can't get any better than that and the artwork in the same style as the film sells itself, dark and gritty.
I could see it full of toys and fast flow, someone give steve ritchie a call...this is a goer!
-
The Blues Brothers
That would be cool ()
-
(1) Predator
(2) Addams Family Values
(3) AC/DC if the rumours are wrong
1 & 2 are really old hat, but I reckon they'd be great.
PP
-
Aliens (Sigourney Weaver Aliens)
Aliens Vs Predator
Star Trek Voyager
Stargate Atlantis
MMA UFC (mixed martial arts)
V8 Supercars or Bathurst V8 Car Racing (Australia only model ofcourse)
Penthouse Porno (Penthouse but with XXXX) for Adult market
-
I vote for Escape from New York or Blues Bros too (lost count of how many times I've watched both of those)
-
Deep throat. Can you imagine some of the skill shots. You could starrt another thread about what you could call the ramp and other specialty shots.
I wont even start about the bg and cab art possibilities.
-
the 'Matrix' Licence would have been perfect for Stern (the first movie #@# )
Smokey and the Bandit
Batman (the 60's TV show) maybe TDK with reworked art, instead of the Joker, the bat mobile on a turntable
-
I think "Dukes of Hazard" would be cool, maybe a ramp with a gap - jumping those bridges, Daisy Duke of course with a nice set of long legs, smash through the barn or road blocks.
-
Clockwork Orange
Motorhead
Crucifixion of Christ
-
I have had this discussion a few times and I will say what I say every time. Fear and loathing in las-vegas. The sound bites alone. "We cant stop here this is bat country"
"As your attorney I advise you to take a hit from the little brown bottle" :D
-
Yes, the member who has nominated "Smokey and the Bandit" is spot on. ^^^ That beautiful black 6.6 litre car would make for some great artwork.
Imagine the audio with the 6.6 litre motor being revved up. ! A large gold eagle with 454 on the playfield. Thats one hot pinball machine for sure. ! ^^^ ^^^
and Rads, yes the deep throat idea is also great. No one can say the title or idea sucks. %.% %.% ^^^
Also, its amazing that the Americans dont have a modern WAR style pinball made, like "Tour of Duty", "Halo" or something like "Baghdad Assault" etc. The whole artwork could be camo style army colours, with lots of neat playfield toys like F-18 Super Hornet Jets, Abram's Tanks, soldiers etc etc. These themes sell huge on X-Box n playstation so why not a WAR type pinball machine. !@#
-
+ 1 for a V8 Supercar pinball $#$
-
Knight Rider and The A team comes to mind .......pity the fool!
-
Some great ideas for some cool sounding pins.
Escape from new york
Matrix
Aliens..Aliens/Predator
Clockwork Orange
These all sound brilliant to me.
Fear and Loathing in Las Veags, thats right up my alley....that could be one mind bending pin indeed!
-
Oh yeah. You could have some crazy ass features on that pin. Where people throw ducks at balloons and nothing is what it seems.
^&^
-
I recently asked a bunch of kids around 13/14YO ( my sons mates ) if they would play certain pinballs - threw a few idea's at them like 'Call of Duty' ( that all these guys are hooked on ) and some other popular PS3 games , thinking that would maybe create a connection - NOPE.
Then I said Angry Birds - they all said YES they would play that pinball !
I found that surprising @.@
-
I feel stupid here but what is Angry Birds?
-
Planet of the Apes, Ghostbusters or RAMBO.
-
BAMBI for me. You know a nice light hearted, warm fuzzy feeling game that makes you feel happy to be alive and one with nature. You could have loads of butterflies on the playfield and maybe a mode where you do things and the DMD displays Bambi playing happily on the woods. And maybe a wizard mode where you have shoots multiballs around the playfield to reunite Bambi with her mother.
Don't you think that would be a winner?
Nah that's not pinball, WAR OF THE WORLDS or even TOMB RAIDER if you could get some kind of spikes thing happening that can really f@&k your ball. Loads of Hurry Up type modes but rather than timing out, you get major penalties like loss of ball. Now that would make you concentrate on completing missions than just one big flip fest.
-
Were the one's made when we were kids - a couple of bullet head nails, rubber bands, clothes pegs and a marble ball....priceless!!
ps - can anyone name the pinball machines that are in Brokeback Mountain that's on tv now??
-
I feel stupid here but what is Angry Birds?
Probably the most popular iPhone and Android game ever.
-
Beatles - Yellow Submarine (saw a scale model of a fictional Yellow Submarine machine on ebay the other day and it looked awesome. I also like the look of those toy ones on ebay as well).
The Matrix - Have been toying with designs for a Johnny Mnemonic conversion cab in Photoshop, but that's as far as I got.
Motley Crue - Music plus the look of the band would be cool.
A Clockwork Orange - like others have mentioned.
Nine Inch Nails - Favourite band. Another re-theme idea I had, but never got past the Photoshop cabinet stage.
Marilyn Manson - Another one of my favourite bands.
Fight Club
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas

No comment.
It is a game where by using a catapult you fling (different types of) birds at various structures housing pigs in order to destroy the pigs usually by demolishing said structures.

Cheers thanks for that...seeing as I don't own or plan to own a mobile phone, iphone, android, my own telephone box or whatever I would never have known that.

I have a personal project "Futurama" in the pipeline if that counts ;-)
MM.
-
Man they should make a futurama pin. Why havnt they made one. Hope the one you do turns out well ^^^

I'm not a fan of 'themed pinball', and it seems that Stern are into making themed pins over and over again. How about something a little more original, and I don't mean TINTIN...! *)*
Did you hear it here first..? I certainly hope not. @.@
-
Ahhh forgot to add Futurama to my list. Saw a great custom pin of Futurama on Google and thought it looked awesome.
Would love to see progress shots when you're ready to reveal them, Marty.

White wood called imaginarium......

Was there ever one for "Phantom - The Ghost Who Walks"? .... that could make for a good 'dark' theme.

ok, ok.. Block Buster themed, along those lines.

Angry Birds would make a great Pinball 2000 machine. You could have different levels come up on the monitor and the balls could be painted like different bird characters.
-
I watched that Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, Gary Oldman Movie yesterday called "The 5th Element". It is a great movie, well worth watching 5 or more times. Never gets boring. Well made for a 1998 movie.
It would have made for a great Pinball machine theme/title.

Ahhh 5th Element.... another great movie from my projectionist days( watched this one stacks of times), very innovative for it's time and still holds up very well today. One of my fav B Willis films, right up there with the original Die Hard.
Agree 100%, it would make a great pinball.
-
What about a scarface pinball? Im sure that woould get a fair bit of attention out on site *%* could also have some very interesting audio %.% %.%

Maybe you could have Al Pacino's head snorting pinballs off the playfield %.%
-
Predator 100%
Others: Tin Tin, Mission Impossible (imagine the modes), COD, Portal 2

A black Sabbath theme would spin me out! !*!

Hello again Andy
Strange irrelevance: I've ordered this shirt from Old Skool Hooligans (pic)
Hope to catch up soon - maybe at Joe's thes evening?

-
Predator with an LCD in the backbox for video shots from the movie. Another title I reckon would have killed it with the younger generation, and probably would have sold a lot of units in the US and Japan would be a Pokemon themed pin
-
Scooby Doo would be a great theme like 1969 mentioned. Excellent idea.
When i was a kid, they had a japaneese cartoon caled G-Force, does anyoine remember that. It would make a good pin. Sometimes i think the Phoenix 1978 Pinny had some of that show n colours thrown into it. ?

Yeah mate I remember G-Force, it is GATCHAMAN redubbed and edited for the american audience after sandy frank bought it trying to cash in on the populatrity of Star Wars at the time.
I have a few seasons of GATCHAMAN on dvd...much more violent than the editied G-FORCE. The animation is a bit weak by todays standards but on a whole the show stands up very well.

Retro built Angry Birds now comes in a pinball box, well just one for now. Maybe Stern could make their next title.

The (real) Avengers - John Steed & Emma Peel, classic !!
-
The Beatles is a great idea for a music pin. Lots of material to work with.
Best pin never made though "Evil Dead/Army of Darkness".
-
Evil Dead would make a great pin.. Beatles too.. im a massive fan especially during the psychedelic late 60's period.
For a non themed pin.. how about a prison theme.. incarceration.. making a 'tool"... buggery... hiding and selling contraband.. few murders... and instead of a wizard mode we have breaking free.
Bloody love a good prison film, but i dont want some US style gangster, rap dick, yo yo yo, ya know wot im sayin type crap. English prisons are the best..LOL
-
Battle Star Gallactica.......the orig and latest series combined...or just one of them.....either way, would make a cool pinny with cool toys....the ball shooter ramp could be like the launch tunnels where the fighters come flying out of the main Gallactica ship... Enemy ship could lock balls etc...lots of different ideas to add with this title...
Resident Evil - all movies combined...
The Walking Dead - smash down zombie targets, collect food n water n supplies n weapons/ammo by hitting other targets, multiball could be insane, running over zombies in the vehicle u got by lighting that taget set, or killing them with weapons u collect...lots of cool choices with The Walking Dead series !

Yes but each mode would have to start with..." little boy doesnt do as he is told.. zombie walkers kill a few more living".. after all.. that is the whole show

believe it or not, Avengers, Xmen and LOTR movies were based on the Original stern pinball theme. *%*
and stern is so great they Named a band after a Stern title, ACDC ^^^
-
Ooh yeah, that'd be a good one.
So many great ideas here, shame none of us work for Stern :)
-

I should get out more

No one out there liked Watchmen? much grittier than the Avengers, and had nudity to make it the perfect film.
-
A recent excellent movie I saw which was mad, was "Abraham Lincoln - The Vampire Hunter".
That would make a excellent pinball machine x 1 billion.
If u havent seen the movie, definately hire it etc. U could have absolutely mad cabinet artwork and great backglass artwork, not to mention dmd displays.
A very scary pinball hasnt been done for a while.

agreed the watchmen kicks avengers arse in quality of film and smarts.
Check IMDb and The Avengers rates 8.3 whereas the Watchmen cult followers rate 7.6
Kick arse????
Your comments imply that 90% of people are dumb. I disagree on all accounts.
-
They would have to remake the film (Clockwork Orange) again as no one except us dinosaurs would know what it was. Watched it recently? Hasn't aged well. Cannot believe is was banned for so long when it first come out.

I'm a horror fan, and I can watch just about any horror movie until the end. This is the ONLY movie other than Amytiville 4, 5, 6 and the fake Paranormal activities franchise that I had to switch off half way through.
If either manufacturer want to tap into the Genre, then look no further than Hellraiser. That's a horror movie. These days, there are NO horror movies that are worth a mention - unfortunately. They all follow the same rehashed formula of either Blair Witch or Paranormal Activity. Underworld was perfect. Van Helsig and Constantine would have also been good ideas. The only reasonable ideas are Zombie related. The younger generation like the HBO formula - not movies - but series. Game of Thrones and American Haunting are two series that they download and watch.
Underworld was absolutely a huge miss. Kate Bekinsale would be all over the translite. Theme is perfect.
Alien would have been great, and one they should be looking at would be the Resident Evil franchise.
