New Pinball Table Ideas? - Post 'em Here

[lasvegaspinballhalloffame]

I think a Las Vegas themed table would be pretty sweet.
Okay, someone please tweet this one. An Adult Swim 4 pack, consisting of:
-Aqua Teen Hungerforce
- Venture Brothers
- Superjail!
- Metalocalypse
Special Awesome Great Bonus table : Tim & Eric/ Dr. Steve Brule.

God they could really do some great psychadelic stuff with these shows. Would be sooooo cool.

Beavis and Butthead would be pretty cool. Since that is coming back onto the air/MTV Oct.27th, I wonder if that will be our "special treat", hhhhmmmmmm.

Halloween: Scary, Creepy, Spooky, Horror
My favorite genre by far. From the 21 currently released tables only 2 are horror themed: Nightmare Mansion and Blade (3 with Paranormal that is being released soon). I would like to play a more mature table. I really enjoy Nightmare Mansion but it is something you would find in a saturday mornings kids show. I don't mean splatter and gore mature. I don't like Saw and Hostel torture porn horror at all. Something that is darker but still stay within FX 2's ESRB rating. Tim Burton's Nightmare before Christmas, Sleepy Hollow, Castlevania, The Ring, Hammer Horror flicks, Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee. Or a unlicensed table that features Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, Zombies, Werewolf, the Mummy, Ghosts, Aqua Man, Gargoyles - anything that is scary. An original table with occult themes: seances, backward messages, monks with a black cowl that covers their face chanting something incomprehensible but certainly malevolent, scary creatures that live in a cave that you can only hear and see their glowing eyes, pentagrams, a candle with a photo realistically flickering flame on the lower left of the table, a really big modeled haunted castle that resides in the upper right of the table that lits one of his windows for every completed mission, ramps that lead inside the castle that allow access to the many rooms, a creepy boogeyman that awaits you at the top of the castles tower, the monster in the closet/under the bed, a big modeled church pipe organ plays by itself (you see the blood stained fingerboard moving) haunted mansion music, thunder and lightning crashing outside the virtual room where you play the table while you hear evil laughs. The important thing is: don't kill the horror by wackiness or childishness. Keep it more serious. Away from Nightmare Mansion's wackiness, towards Blade's darker style.

Something like this in HD:
Devil's Crush

Hopefully Paranormal is released around halloween. Please release more such themed tables. Remember: Everything is better with Zombies (Black Ops Zombie Mode, Plants vs Zombies, half of the indie games xbox live section...), so I'm sure it would sell like candy. Make at least 2 spooky tables every year!

Zen Garden
Like it was mentioned here before I too would love to see such a table. Relaxing xylophone wind chimes music playing in the background. A calm waterfall in the upper left flowing in to a brook. You can hear the sounds the brook makes. The sun is reflected in the water. Pink japanese cherry trees that have fallen leaves underneath that are moved by the ball (also it is "snowing" cherry tree leaves). You can see the shadows the tree makes wiggled by the wind. Then winter comes and it is snowing inside the pinball table. The snow covers everything. You can see the trails of the ball in the snow. A black/grey/white stone path leading to a zen stone garden. A yin-yang symbol changes color like a kaleidoscope. A guru would give you koans to solve. The goal of the table would be to reach satori (enlightenment). This should be a "serious", or better "sincere" table lacking whacky elements (so please don't go anywhere near stoner territory). You are named "Zen Studios", so a stylish artsy zen satori table is nearly mandatory.

Christmas Theme (or "Holiday table" to be religion neutral to include Hanukah and Kwanzaa)
Santa Clause with his flying reindeers giving presents through the chimney. A giant christmas tree with blinking decoration lights in a corner of the table with cute little squirrels that live inside it. It is constantly snowing and snow covers everything. You can see the trail of the ball in the snow that is again covered with fresh snow after some time. You don't need to license such a theme because you could use a plethora of classic license free xmas classic songs like holy night that people around the world sing. Yes this would be cheesy as hell. But if it is released a week or two before christmas I would totally buy it. There is a reason why many studios releasing new retro styled 8/16 - bit games. They know that now grown up gamers love to remember their childhood by playing games that are similar to what they played back then. There aren't many people who don't get a warm feeling on christmas time as it reminds them of their childhood. Even atheists/agnostics celebrate it anyways, yay presents! I'm sure todays Call-of-Gears-6-Blood-Zombie core gamers would buy such a cheesy table on christmas time (but there is a drawback that sales would go down when xmas is over - how to solve this?).


Please no more licensed Marvel tables after the "Ghost Rider 4 table pack". Don't get me wrong I like Spiderman, Iron Man all those super heroes, but there is too many of those tables. Bring more un-licensed original themed tables. For some reason I like the themes of the original tables (Secrets of the Deep, Rome, Excalibur, Earth Defense) a lot more. It's like they have a soul of their own and are no soulless license products (at least those other tables are incredibly well made license products). Sadly there are more licensed tables to be released to take advantage of the already existing fan bases. "The huge fanbases of various big franchises will be more likely to buy tables based on that franchise". A wise business decision that kills originality in theme design (but doesn't necessary affects table design).

I want to see a Back to the Future table..I think everyone would agree it would be great to have an 80s movie based pinball table

So I'm guessing Zen cannot secure the rights to do DC tables? I'm tired of the comic stuff after the next 4 pack too, but damn would it be nice to have a BOMB ass Batman table. I was always into Batman and Superman anyway. I never got into Marvel stuff outside of Spiderman. Well, the Hulk and Ghost Rider is cool too though.
And more mature tables would be nice. I know they have an "everyone" rating, but maybe they could do some that you have to be a teen/adult to download. I doubt they'd do that but sure would be nice. But you know what, the really cool thing about Pinball, you can still make pretty crazy stuff and WITHOUT being vulgar. Has anyone ever played the last machine, in real life, that Williams produced? Revenge From Mars, Pinball 2000. It has mature content but is presented in a goofy way. They could definitely put this whole game onto FX2, as far as the content goes.

Perhaps a table based on The Evil Dead movies. This franchise has already been used in several video games going back to the Dreamcast even and should translate well into an entertaining table.

Sometimes "B" movies (especially in the horror genre) are more remembered in pop culture than much more expensive productions. I also believe that the protagonist "Ash" would make for a good character such as in the vein of the Marvel Comics characters. Just a thought.

A Robert Crumb inspired table.

[lasvegaspinballhalloffame]

Went into a comic shop for the first time in years today. And I see that Marvel is putting out a series of Stephen King's Gunslinger books. I definitely like Marvel a lot more now. The Gunslinger would be a SUPER cool table. The Gunslinger is actually a part of The Dark Tower series. You could make a crazy ass table based off of it. I bought the only issue they had, number 2 of part 5.

Few ideas for tables I'd like to see

Halo (I know a couple of others above have also said it).
Lord Of The Rings.
Star Wars Saga (ONLY based on 4, 5 and 6 - I'm sorry but 1, 2, and 3 should never have been made!).
Motley Crue (anyone remember the Mega Drive game, Crue Ball?).
D&D - 2 choices - Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance.
Judge Dredd (specifically as per the 2000AD (British comic) canon, and NOT the gods awful Hollywood disaster that Stallone was in).
Star Trek - most incarnations of the franchise.

dunno if its been posted yet, so: Sonic!

could have a lot of nice features, especially a very fast extra-field, a loop and a multiball with rolling sonics: when they´re in game a long time and hit the right targets ,they could turn into yellow sonics an get more speed

Thats great news! We still have 3 undisclosed Marvel-Tables comming up and one of them is said to be "as unexpeted as the Blade-Theme".. so my bet right now is on The Gunslinger, wich would be awesome!!

Retro Tables

I would like to see some retro tables i.e ones that emulate 50's to the mid 70's mechanical tables with rollover style score keepers and pop up backglass mechanical animations and animatronics. Also tables that emulate the early 80's CPU Williams and Gottlieb Tables and Digital readouts . Some simply multilevel tables would be nice to . I guess the pasha Table was the best example but I would like to see something with the simply scoring mechanics such as the Blackknight table.
