(Not including the addams family since chances are we will get that if it possible anyway)
Simpsons Party Pinball
Family Guy
South Park
Nightmare on Elm street
Guns & Roses

Wizard of Oz would be awesome but I doubt that will ever get on the pinball ball arcade because of it's video screen being so complex and unique. so far it's the only pinball display of it's kind. also it just came out this year. Haven't actually got a chance to play WOZ but I drool over the video's on youtube of it hoping to one day run into a machine somewhere.

is not it standard lcd display which show video footage? games can render in-game video as "picture in picture".

yeah i think it is just a small hdtv as the display on Wizard of Oz, haven't actually seen it in person though. But it is definitely unique for being on a pinball table. I'm thinking just because it is the only table to have that kind of display extra work would have to be done to make it run in Pinball Arcade and that extra work would only benefit the one table. Also the display is going to need to either be scaled down to a lower resolution than it really is with some type of filter to make the images smooth or be reprogrammed to be a lower resolution (you can't show the full 1080p display on top of the whole screen and play pinball at the same time). Also it's going to need lots of processing power to play, because it will need to be playing a 1080p video display while processing the table itself.

you can see examples of how video scaling works if launch any video clip in 1080 in WMplayer, for example, and scaledown it's window to lower resolution, and without closin it launch some game and see how it will work together: i just opened movie with FP's Genie (it has very high res textures) and both things worked smooth simultaneously - it is not a problem for now day PC to maintain even several 3d game clients at once (many mmo gamers use this feature)

Hey Karl, did you see the thread about the new fluorescent, blacklight reactive pinball rubbers over on pinside? Imagine those on a Tron LE in a dark room..
http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/ann-saturntm-urethane-pinball-rings-next-gen-of-rubber-rings-here-now

Note: I'm so glad they have a Tron LE for the public to play at the game museum in Rochester NY, its truly a treat that they've allowed me to have a frame of reference about a game that only 400 were made.


Back on topic, my current top 5 wish-list is:

1- Indiana Jones Pin Adv
2- TSPP
3- Spider-Man (I know - not gonna happen)
4- Tron [LE] (Maybe someday?)
5- TAF

Honorable mention: Diner

Note: LOTR is only left off because I definitely plan on buying one in the next year so I don't feel like I would need it in TPA anymore.. selfish I know, but its my top 5! :D

Thanks for the link ER777. I try to check pinside at least once a day but I still seem to miss all the good stuff :D

Those rubbers could very well turn out to be extra ordinary rubbers and the best protection for any excited (pinball) owner and his toy (did I just say that? :eek: grow up, man).

Lol, don't mention it. I'm just dying to see a video of those fluorescent rubbers in action on a Tron LE. Someone must do that!
