[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 39036, member: 152"] As we saw in Scared Stiff, the "inappropriate" material will not make it in to the finished game, which robs South Park of much of its [I]raison d'etre[/I]. And pinball is often an occasion for me to swear at the machine; I don't need or want it swearing back! I've played Apollo 13, the 13-ball multiball is only cool once or twice, after that it's just too crowded until the first 7 or 8 balls drain. I much prefer TZ's Lost in the Zone or ST:TNG's Final Frontier with their 6-ball multiballs - and note that both TZ and ST:TNG are widebodies, which gives those 6 balls more room to spread out, especially on ST:TNG's open playfield. And I agree with Brandon, the Kickstarter route will work only for tables with near-universal appeal. TZ and ST:TNG qualified, TAF would also if they can get all the parties on board for the licensing. T2 is already heading into iffy territory - it's an OK table but not by any means in the same league as TZ or ST:TNG. South Park's gameplay is not very good (at least I've never encountered anyone who thought so) and so it'd be riding entirely on the strength of its theme. I doubt that'd be enough to see it through a kickstarter successfully. [/QUOTE]
