[QUOTE="JoshuaKadmon, post: 22273, member: 1046"] While many of the greatest tables of all time came from licensed IPs, I still firmly hold the belief that creativity in any medium is at its highest potential when it isn't constrained by the preconceived notions of what an IP needs to include. Fortunately, pinball tends to be an exception to the rule in most cases, largely because a great table depends more on its mechanics and geometric flow, not on what toys, artwork, or sound effects get implemented. I've seen crappy movies made into great pinball tables, great movies adapted to terrible machines, and non-licensed tables that have blown away the high-dollar competition. Still, my all-time favorite pins include Swords of Fury, Xenon, Haunted House, and a handful of others that are all original IPs. I still like Twilight Zone, Addams Family, and other licensed tables as much as the next guy, but I find myself getting hung up on the theme and whether or not I like the property it came from.
