Would Anyone Buy A Retro Looking New Pinball Machine?

What if you had a early 80's style game but with a few settings some features could raise out of the playfield including a loop around ramp and loop around under the ramp ???? couple of linear actuators and away you go.

Been thinking more about this. Bear in mind the Gottlieb "Street Level" half dozen games back in the late eighties / early nineties. They were a return to no ramp games (ie everything at "street" level) and while most are fun, they were a big flop with players.

Not saying the market would react the same - Gottlieb were trying new themes, and here we're talking about old school themes - that's what makes it a better proposition.

I wonder if EM's are the way to go? Seems to me that the age group that first experienced all those nice flashy displays are about right to be cashed up to pay for a machine bought at the local Harvey Norman.

Don't you mean "ready to be stitched up with 20 years no payments, interest free" bollocks??

Im actually pretty impressed with the KOD from Retropinball, i like the way it operates and its overall simplicity very much. So much so that ive been in contact with them regarding this machine OR the next in line... At $3850USD and our exchange rate... this is good buying

LOL- they are not saying... but they did put the question out of what EM collectors would like to see remade... whether it helped in the decision or not is another matter, as youd expect, many varied answers.
