[QUOTE="Pogue-Mahone, post: 133330, member: 4111"] Pinball Arcade is available on many video game platforms, so why not include a few pinball tables that were inspired by video games? Sure, there aren’t a whole lot of pinball machines that were inspired by video games. But the few machines with a video game theme are marvelous in design and pay great homage to the source material. Here are three pinball machines based off of video games that I think would work great for Pinball Arcade. (well two anyways, one might work as a Nintendo exclusive) [B]Street Fighter II by Gottlieb[/B] [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpCyOKxNNJ8"]Click Here for a Video of the table.[/URL] [URL="http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2403&picno=34928"]Internet Pinball Database Street Fighter II Gallery[/URL] Street Fighter is one of the most popular fighting video games on the market. Since its release in 1987, Street Fighter has seen many sequels on multiple platforms. There have also been comics, cartoons, and feature films released based on the video game. In 1993, Gottlieb released a Pinball Machine based off of Street Fighter II. This machine includes many elements from the arcade fighter. Sound, characters, and even a few songs from the game made it into the inner circuits of this fantastic table. And yes, Guile’s theme is in there as well. There’s even an inner table with a yellow sports car inspired by the memorable Break the Car mini game between stages. My favorite piece on this particular field is the spinning Chun-Li Target at the top, possibly mimicking her Spinning Bird Kick. With all of the references to the original game, as well as its popularity within the gaming community, I’m sure the Street Fighter II table will have a welcome home on Pinball Arcade.
