[QUOTE="Slam23, post: 251965, member: 896"] I liked "Killer App" better, but that probably got cut because of the fact that JJP wants to appeal to a family-friendly market. Although I concur that the present name is not strong, it's difficult to judge a "brand" name on it's original appeal when it has been there for more than 20 years and became synonymous with excellent gameplay and theme integration. Attack from Mars could easily have been a very cheesy EM for all I know if I'm not that familiar with the machine in question. Medieval Madness has that nice alliteration going like CC and even WhiteWater so those names have something going for them of the bat. But Whitewater is also a really funny sounding name for a pin, especially when you're not familiar with rafting. Cactus Canyon sounds like a bad western....etc. So if Dialed-In will be succesful in terms of gameplay and innovation (and the first impressions OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE ACTUALLY PLAYED THE D@MN TABLE! :) are quite good), objections to the name will probably dissipate quite quickly I think.
