So anything medieval is movie based because theyve made movies about the middle ages? Get real.
TAF and TZ were unique games.. i remember them coming out and they were as unique as it came and played like nothing else.. couple that with a good theme and its a winner for sure.
High Speed had over 17000 sales... fishtales over 13000.
High Speed outsold pretty much everything else bar TAF... but then again, i suppose movies have been made about fast car chases also?

YES, that is totally correct and my answer was very real. If they didnt get the ideas about medi-evil castles and all that stuff from the movies, where did they get the ideas from.....if someone said what does a castle look like, are u going to describe something u saw in a movie, or only remember it only from a book...I think Not,........lets say its books, which might be 10 percent of the imagery, the ideas are all based on stuff that has been done many times over...and your last point about High Speed pinball etc being based on various/many car chase movies/stories is also correct.

They may not be licenced pinball themes, but they certainly are all copied/based on previously released movies n TV shows.

Thats very real. !

*also, TAF n TZ might be unique, means nothing, still TV shows, licenced and created from TV, like 99 percent of pinball machines, licenced or not....

Brett - have you ever been to England ? I have seen some AMAZING Castles in England and in Wales. If anyone needs to do research on Castles, there's no need to watch any movies. In fact, most movies have no idea what real castles look like. There are PLENTY of Medieval castles still standing.

A quick scan of the top 10 pinballs produced of all time. Only 20% are movie themes.
