Being a pinball junkie, I would LOVE to see a zombie themed pinball table. Maybe something based off of Resident Evil or the Walking Dead.

I know of the pinball of the dead and plants vs zombies virtual tables but something real and more adult themed would be awsome.

This one has art that looks a little kitsch, but does fit the Zombie theme. It will be released before too long for people who pre-ordered: http://www.pinballinventor.org/games/benheck/welcome.html

I follow a number of Facebook pages and sites about pinball. There are a lot of people that would love the RE & Walking Dead themes. It may yet happen with the vocal zombie-loving crowd.

What reallly pains me these days in pinball is that now it's just one major player in Stern, all they have to do is pay massive amounts of money to obtain entertainment or sports licenses and that's their total output these days. When there was competition, companies actually had to use original ideas. Now if Stern could do something like 2001's High Roller Casino again, then it'd look a lot better.

I once had a dream, easily 14 years ago, that I had discovered that there was a pinball game for the Bubblegum Crisis anime on the Super Famicom. It was so excited I woke up and it took several seconds for me to realize it was all just a dream. Bubblegum Crisis is one of my favorite anime shows.

Honestly, I'm just happy to be living in a world with Addams Family pinball and Elvira's Scared Stiff.

An anime-themed machine would be pretty cool. Devil Man, Sailor Moon, or Slayers... any of those would be awesome!

Yeah, too bad pinball never really took off in Japan, there are all sorts of licenses that would be great. I'd personally love to see an Evangelion, Bebop, or Lupin pin. Luckily, two of those are available in pachinko/pachislo format.

As far as pins that were never made that should have been.... I've already wondered why there was never a TRON pinball. Legacy almost made up for it, but the machine is kinda meh, both play and design-wise.


Oh, and on the VS pinball topic, there's also Challenger.

I want some Heavy Metal Themed Pinball machines. It would be so awesome to play a Judas Priest, Dio or Iron Maiden themed table, but the one I really dream of would be a......... Stryper Pinball!! That would be so freakin awesome.

Yeah, that would've been cool! But speaking of Disney SF movies, I didn't know that there was a Black Hole pinball machine until I noticed it in the videos of the Classic Gaming Room YouTube Channel (InecomCompany). I'd love to see that in person.

That doesn't have anything to do with the Disney movie though. It is on the Gottlieb pinball hall of fame collection which you should be able to pick up cheap.

I just found a YouTube video of this pinball machine and it is so cool! It has a multi-tiered playing surface even! That is so cool!
