... Maybe the gambling industry has a few connections to the pinball industry via Jacks etc.
...Might be very worrying to STERN.
The gambling industry tie-in makes me wonder if the recent slot machine effort has already streamlined the copyrights issue too. The more I think about it, the theme choice may turn out to be a little bit of genius for a first effort.
Even the abbreviation is kind of cool - WOO !
It's like a little celebration every time you use it.
Regarding Stern, if nothing else, if it's successful maybe it will serve as a lesson to Stern that they've got lazy and settled into a tired formula of chasing movies for themes. Though they
did do a Wheel of Fortune a while back which has both a wide audience appeal and the gambling tie-in (successful slot machines with the WOF theme) and I don't know for sure but I got the impression it was a fairly successful game effort.
Sure wish I had an extra 7-grand laying around.
The morphing into color thing would be neat. I know one machine I always thought I'd like is the old DE "Time Machine" because of the way the sounds morph as it moves through different eras. They missed this in Star Trek because they could have had it travel back in time as they like to do on the screen. They could have fuzzed up the sounds to be fuzzy radio transmission and clear up when going back into subspace times. Even could have moved backward in time to before electricity at the end of a multiball so none of the solenoids work anymore so the balls have nothing to do but roll downhill and drain to end the mode, hehe.
