Pin themes that haven't been made

[Extork]

Hey guys. I'm just curious to see what themes you would love to be made into a pinball table. Since the demand for pinball isn't very high these days... This is all theoretical. Keep in mind that movie themed pins have been done, and done again lately. This is more to see what ideas you have, and it would be fun to throw around some ideas.

Maybe the reason I created this thread is because of 'fish tales'. If fishing can be made into a fun pinball table, then I'm sure any theme could be. It would be fun get a discussion going about what hasn't been done yet

I was worried about that! Didn't mean anything by it.

To make this thread different, let's only talk about themes that aren't movies or tv shows. There are a ton of good ideas in bowflex's thread. I don't mean to steal the idea, but maybe this will spark some conversation

If the thread bowflex linked isn't to you taste how about this other thread

I like the idea you're encouraging, but IDK if Fish Tales draw was simply about fishing. If you check the promo videoout, Mark and Pat wanted to go fishing but were prevented from doing so due to all the water skiiers on the lake. This prompted them to create this monsterously addictive game to keep people off of the lake so that they could have nothing but peace and quiet to enjoy their "hobby."

So while Fishing is the "Theme" there is a lager backstory.

While there may have been one in my early pin days, "bomb squad" should be a good game. With the technology today, defusing different types of bombs up to and including nuclear could be quite interesting.

SKRILLEX I want a dudstep pin

That would be awesome! With turntables that would be kinda like the mixmaster on dr dude' and subwoofers for bumpers. A 'wub' meter and stuff. You could check out my crappy dubstep on soundcloud haha. Actually there's a breaks mix I made back in 2007 that's worth a listen

I'm sure the mods will come in soon and close or move this but this is the iOS forum and the conversation really has nil to do with that specific platform.

I'd love to see a hip-hop themed pinball (not just zombies rapping). Also I think it's time for a new hockey themed table.

Also, I'd like to see someone make an actual pinball game out of a video pinball version (it wouldn't have to be the same playfield, of course). Revenge of the Gator, Alien Crush, Crueball... lots of good ideas out there.

Thread moved. I won't merge it since this is about general themes instead of licenses.

NASA themed games: MSL, MER...

Maybe internet memes, doomsday scenarios. Political satire, conspiracy theories, pot...

It certainly was easier in the 70s and 80s

Ninjas. Maybe samurai. Mythology (Norse, Greek, the odyssey)
