[QUOTE="Zombie Aladdin, post: 152692, member: 4242"] Something I realized is that, with all of the machines Stern has made themed on music bands, it has not yet made one themed on The Beatles. There was that [i]Beat Time[/i] EM table from the 1960s or so, but to my knowledge, there hasn't been a Beatles-themed pinball machine after pinball could actually play music. Same goes with Michael Jackson. I don't think there's been one with science treated as a serious subject yet. Any time academics is used as a theme, it is extremely soft science fiction (like with [i]Strange Science[/i] or [i]Genesis[/i]), was licensed from something that real scholars would find annoying (like [i]Apollo 13[/i]) or is from literature, which is easy (like with [i]Falstaff[/i] or [i]Phantom of the Opera[/i]). I would like to see something that I think would make a scientist, mathematician, historian, or anthropologist smile from thorough fact-checking and accuracy of the subject. [i]The Brain[/i] doesn't count as it's a one-of-a-kind palette swap of [i]The Simpsons Pinball Party[/i] for a museum. [/QUOTE]
