[QUOTE="Bowflex, post: 135730, member: 24"] My guess is that at the time, licenses were not used for popular CURRENT movies. From what I can tell, Total Recall was the first table that released nearly simultaneous to as Robocop came out 2 years after the movie (and a year prior to the sequel) and Back to the Future wasn't released until the entire triology was complete. 1991, the year that Robin Hood came out, was really the first year that the movie tie-in pinball machines rose in popularity. You had T2, Hook and Addams Family, all of which were movies marketed more at male and/or kids/teen audiences from what I remember. Robin Hood was marketed as more of a romance. Despite the movie having plenty of action, other than the camera mounted on the arrows, the promotion puhsed the love story angle. I think it would have gotten a machine if the practice of releasing movie tie-ins was more tried and true at that point since Robin Hood also finished third at the box office for the year. [/QUOTE]
