While that would be cool I'm pretty sure that Universal still has the rights for The Mummy and Frankenstein. So Zen would need to get a license for those if they want to make the tables even remotely close to the originals.

Hmmm... we've got a little Marvel on the way and some new IPs. Stuff that has been requested here on the forums... but that's all I can say! Announcements coming this spring/summer

I've been out of the loop for a while but I'd like to chime in and say that I would love to see a Guardians of the Galaxy table. And possibly Ant-Man as well. Hope ya'll are doing okay

re-creations, kind of...

I realize that TPA kind of has the market on recreating real machines, but my buddy and I were talking and thought how cool it would be if Zen could do a Zen-ized version of Medieval Madness. I'm not sure they would be able to get the licensing.

But the exact same table layout and use the actual ROM, but a castle that actually took damage and was destroyed and rebuilt, an animated dragon, a real tower with different animated princesses, a real catapult slinging the animal at the castle, etc., etc... They could do some kick ass things with the table. There is probably a bunch of real tables that could get the Zen treatment that would be a blast.

Not sure if you've played Excalibur or Epic Quest but I don't think another Medieval themed table is in the cards after those two. They're two of Zen's best original themed tables and draw a lot of inspiration from Medieval Madness.

Right, they definitely have great originals with inspirations and homages to real pins. however, I would like to see their take on a non-original table. A mashup of the digital animations and graphics that Zen is great at and a classic original pin. MM was just an example that could easily translate.

The best of both worlds for sure! I think this would be the best table ever...

[Cathaeter]

Been thinking of these for awhile.

Tremors franchise pack (i.e. Burt Gummer, Dirt dragons, Graboids, Shriekers, Ass Blasters)
Marvel villain's pack (i.e. Venom)
Darkstalkers.
Childs Play.

I think a Marvel villains pack would be amazing! I would want to see Venom/Carnage and Apocalypse/Archangel. Not sure who else because most all of the other major villains have been featured one way or another. Maybe Ultron and then throw in the anti-hero Punisher to round out the pack. I would buy it

I'd have to agree with ya here, BW! That would be awesome!

[Fast Ball Special]

Given that we're getting a Walking Dead Table with Telltale, I think a Wolf AMong Us/Fables Table is pretty much on the cards, but I would still like to say that I would definitely love to see one anyway!

Also with a Deadpool Table incoming and thus Marvel stuff likely once more, I think I would love to see packs of tables based on events as well as characters. Since we got an Avengers Chronicles Pack I would love something similar for Spidey and the X-Men, say the following:

Spider-Man Chronicles

- Kraven's Last Hunt
- Maximum Carnage
- Spider Island
- Superior Spider-Man

X-Men Chronicles

- Days of Future Past OR Dark Phoenix Saga
- Age of Apocalypse
- House of M OR Messiah Complex
- Avengers vs X-Men OR Battle of the Atom

Also Character tables for Daredevil and Captain Marvel. And after Zen having done a table for the Avengers film, maybe they should consider a MCU Pack, with some of the movies or even the Agents of SHIELD series.

PS4 request

My request is simply this:

-all available tables from Zen to play on PS4. There are some great tables that have not made their way over to PS4 from PS3 yet, and even though I still play them on the PS3 the step up in quality and feel from PS3 to PS4 is a huge difference. Please continue to complete the ports over to the PS4, please. I don't even mind paying again. The increase in graphics, performance, and the controller/flipper feel are worth the jump over to PS4. Oh and please continue supporting 3D, that is the ONLY way I play!

BTTF table

They never said that. Deep just made a comment that said, he would love to make a BTTF table. There was no confirmation. It was just a dream from a table designer.

Hey guys long time no see. First off Deep never made a suggestion about BTTF table I am the one that suggested the table and gave ideas about how the table or 3 tables would work to co inside with the 3 movies. Deep backed up my suggestion and then said a BTTF would be awesome. Now if Zen is smart they would consider a Transformers table or tables. Just think having the Transformers table you play on transform into a huge Autobot or Decepticon etc. If Zen does develop a Transformers table it would bury the Marvel tables. So Zen start talking deals with Hasboro and Michael Bay. ONE SHALL STAND ONE SHALL FALL Autobot bots ROLLOUTTT....

A Transformers table would be great to see, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it would bury the Marvel themes.

Also, Stern Pinball made a Transformers pin a few years ago. So if you really wanted to get your fix you could play that. Which makes me curious...

Barbie, how do the licensing of IP's to real pinball manufacturers like Stern and JJP affect Zen? Or is it a non-factor?
