I was talking with my wife and kids today and we came up with an idea for a pinball that really ran away with us and in all honesty has so much potential that i think its pure bloody genius!

The theme of this pinball MUST have instant appeal to a wide audience.
It must be able to take pinball out of the "hit A then B and get a video mode" type strategy
It must be interactive
It cannot get boring.. and so game strategy must be able to change.
It must launch pinball into the next generation and advance from the now stagnant DMD mode.

So... what theme could possibly embrace all of this... where would pinball get an instant wide audience whilst appealing to a whole new market?

Where could we get a cashed up 14 million people interested??

The answer??......





WORLD OF WARCRAFT


14 million users pay a subzcription to play this game.. thats AFTER buying the game in the first place.

Get this...

Your WOW pinball can be online via ethernet... you can play against anyone else online.. potential gamers worldwide.

DMD is SCRAPPED  and flat screen with graphics card installed instead.

As you advance targets you advance your quests.
Add ons can be purchased.
Whilst the PF may remain the same layout... the targets take on different values dependant on game quests.
each time you start up your pinball you carry on from where you left off.
You can play on PC and upload to pinball to continue a game.

In essence you pinball becomes a PC with a playfield.. it is NEVER a static game.. it ALWAYS evolves.. you exchange keyboard keys for targets or sequences on a pinball PF..
... But basically.. you play World Of Warcraft... the game is HUGE WORLDWIDE... its a game.. so pinball will have an instant attraction to these people who till now are not your typical pinball customer.

Imagine WOW on site??... all it would take would be internet access.

far out, strewth guvnor... this idea is a  friggin pearler!
