Official table / theme idea suggestion thread

[shogun00]

A Robocop vs Terminator table pack.

One Robocop theme, one Terminator themed, and one actual Robocop vs Terminator table (based off of the videogame).

[JohnKarnes]

You really need to add a ELVIRA table!!
October would be the perfect month for holloween
Everyone loves Elvira!

[WAZMAC]

Ive said it so many times a Star Trek The Next Generation table would be awesome as I have played the real table alot so addictive and fun, and all you need to do is copy the original..

Also as someone else mentioned earlier a Golf table would be cool for all us Golf addicts.

[WAZMAC]

How about a Star Trek The Next Generation table for their remaster on blu-ray

I second that mate, the STNG table is awesome!

[Brian]

Castlevania (I think anything is welcome)

Sonic The Hedgehog (with superfast situations!)

Devil May Cry (JACKPOT!!!!)

Final Fantasy VII

!!!

I'll think of more to say here eventually. Good topic!

[Beliskner]

How about (if affordable) a Die Hard table.
Ho-Ho-Ho Machine Gun multiball is a must as well as the Yippee Ki Yee wizard mode

[lk12345gt]

Being such a Batman fan, I really wish Zen had a license with DC Comics.

[Beliskner]

Being such a Batman fan, I really wish Zen had a license with DC Comics.

Still waiting for some DC vs. Marvel action
I don't think any game ever had both Marvel and DC characters in it. Aside from fan made stuff and hacks of course.

[Woodpeeker]

Hi,
Maybe other Comics like Spawn (Todd Mc Farlane)
In cartoon, we have the universe of Tex Avery, and "Minus et Cortex" (Think it's Pinky and the Brain original title)
Some manga like Macross, Vision of Escaflowne or Lodoss War.
Have a good day

[Beliskner]

Just rewatched the movie and thought Back to the Future would make for a great table .

[Trollwart]

May have been mentioned, but was playing the Castlestorm table with my daughter and she suggested a Harry Potter table. That's a hell of a license, I'm sure...but you did get Star Wars. Anyway, I think you could do tons of fun stuff with it.

[mdrichey]

How amazing would a VENTURE BROS table be?

Also, add my voice to the others who have suggested a GAME OF THRONES table.

[BarbieBobomb]

How amazing would a VENTURE BROS table be?

YESSSS that would be awesome!

[welcome to the forums, btw! ]

[Cathaeter]

Another suggestion: Tucker and Dale Vs Evil!

[Beliskner]

That would make for an absolutely amazing table for sure. One of the three funniest movies to come out in the last ten years in my opinion

[Rafie]

Awesome ideas guys. Keep them coming!

[Fireworkss]

Heros from DC Comics please !!!
Scooby Doo
My Litte Pony :-)

[DA5ID]

MINECRAFT

[Rafie]

Hey Zen! I'm surprised you haven't posted the picture of the Valve and Zen Pinball 2 logo on here. What's going on with that?

[Trollwart]

Not a theme, but how about a random option on the table selection page?

[Trollwart]

A table based on 'The Room'? I bet designers could have a lot of fun with that...

[Cathaeter]

Another suggestion: Orphan Black.

[Fireworkss]

Batman, Superman, Flash, Green Lantern, Green Arrow.

[dedman20-0]

Was wondering if there is a wwe themed table in the works ? I think with all the characters it could be great. Also, a kiss table would be great

[Cathaeter]

The Phantom.
Dick Tracy.
and maybe a viking table.

[Wormerine]

X-COM table!

[kingaraya]

Hi all, I've only recently discovered Zen Pinball 2 on PS4. It's safe to say I'm hooked, and am already hoping for new exciting tables. Though most of my wishlist has already been suggested (They would all be awesome), it can't hurt to use this post as my vote.

Licensed Tables:

Hanna Barbera (3 pack with stand alone Jetsons and Flintstones tables, and a third table containing Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Top Cat, Quickdraw McGraw, and any other favourites you can cram in there. It worked magnificently with the South Park table. Maybe a fourth table for Scooby Doo)
Looney Tunes (One table for all the characters, and a stand alone Road Runner & Coyote table)
Bioshock
Back to the Future
The Simpsons
Nightmare Before Christmas
DC Superheroes
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Comic)
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Obviously without the Disney/WB characters included. Licensing nightmare)
Wipeout (PlayStation/Liverpool Studios design)
Super Mario (My kids would love it)
Toy Story (Elements from the first two movies only)
Mickey Mouse
Pulp Fiction
Pirates of the Caribbean

Non Licensed

Ancient Egypt
Steampunk (There are already tables with steampunk elements, like Tesla and Wild West. I'm looking for more clockwork and airships)
Circus
Salvador Dali (Unlicensed? How about just surreal?)
Victorian London (Maybe Jack the Ripper related)

There you have it. Sorry about the long post, but you guys can understand the enthusiasm. I just burst.

[kingaraya]

Magnum PI table! Or failing that, maybe just a Hawaiian themed table. Just don't skimp on the tiki masks. A Tiki God table! I could keep this thread going for a week.

Welcome to the forum! Thanks for all the awesome suggestions

[Ontzettendejan]

I'd like to see a baseball related table! Grand Slam multi-ball etc. etc. World Series wizard mode.. x number of shots to hit ramps (batting average..)

[djb5f]

Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Star Wars Padme
Game of Thrones including The Wall (maybe a chance since Walking Dead has one and both had games released by Telltale)
Entourage
Uncharted
More sports themes like the super league one (ice hockey, baseball, basketball, pro wrestling, etc)

Edit - Also, let me add a Howard Stern themed table would be awesome. And include not just the regulars like Robin, Bababooey, but also the wack pack, Bettlejuice, Big Foot, etc. Not likely okay, but it would be awesome

[Cathaeter]

How about a Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) table.

+ stages of its life: egg, fry, juvinile, adult, mating and territory aggression modes.
+ Jump Ramps
+ color variants in breeding.
etc.

[iNKSLASH]

HALO. That color palette would look so gooood with sounds and theme score.

[iNKSLASH]

Kung Fury.

[iNKSLASH]

Conan O'Brien themed table would be epic!!!

[shogun00]

Conan O'Brien themed table would be epic!!!

Only if it's based around The Flaming C.

Spongebob Squarepants
The Perils of Penelope Pitstop
The Pink Panther

Hi, new to the forum but a long-time zen pinballer. I feel like a Mystery Science Theater-based table could be neat. Movie Sign would make for a good mission intro, and maybe the missions could involve some of the public-domain movies they riffed on. Or, you know, something like that.

I recently finished watching this great series, would love it as a table, though might be hard to do with the swearing.

Let me add, how about more themes around old-school video games like Pac-man (or Ms. Pac-Man), Pole Position, NBA Jam, Punch-Out!, Dragon's Lair, Rampage, Gauntlet, Simpsons Road Rage or anything The Simpsons, etc

[hunter328]

How about a Hearthstone table? Hearthstone is my new gaming addiction and it'd be awesome to have my two favorite games combined into one delicious soufflé that's both immediately appetizing and intensely fulfilling. (I always hate reviews that compare things that are so not food to food.)

[OdinThe1337]

Pinkey and the Brain would be nice, you know, try and take over the world.

[Beliskner]

With the new pack being all cartoons I was thinking of a Looney Tunes pack. Maybe including the following:

Bugs Bunny & Daffy Duck
Roadrunner & Wily Coyote
Sylvester & Tweety
Space Jam

Oh! I didn't see this thread before. Hi! My name is Gustavo and I have the entire collection of Zen Pinball 2 tables. I want to thank you Zen Studios for giving us such an amazing product. I love how honest you are by keeping the tables at affordable prices for all of us, the quality is outstanding and I appreciate your work. They look amazing in both 2D and 3D.

I would like to know where could I request new tables? As a pinball fanatic and collector I can tell you that one thing missing from your tables is women. You guys make amazing tables but if you look back in history, you will always see pinball tables with female leads, and as I'm looking at my tables they are clearly lacking sexy female presence with a few exceptions of course.

So I would like to request a few that could give some color to the collection:

- A Victoria's Secret table, with maybe Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, or Izabel Goulart.

- A Playboy table with blonde playmate bunnies. It could also work with Penthouse.

- A sexy 20s, 30s, and 40s style table with pin-ups of Ava Gardner, Elvgren Girls, or Zoe Mozert.

- And since you guys made a Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 machine why not a Dead Or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball 3 machine too?

I love your original works like El Dorado, Mars, Tesla, Excalibur. Those tables are unique and look like the real deal, and we need more of those. We already have too many of the saga ones.

Also more fighting games tables like Street Fighter 2 would also be cool such as the The King Of Fighters, Tekken, BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, etc.. You guys rock. Otherwise I would not be asking.

There can't be enough female presence.

Some really great suggestions here!

I think it would be cool if they did themed packs, like the Balls of Glory, for example

Nick Toons Pack:
-Doug
-Rugrats
-Ren & Stimpy
-Rocko's Modern Life

90s Sitcom Pack:
-Seinfeld
-Friends
-Frasier

I would also REALLY like to see a Rick and Morty table

Airplanes theme
The little Prince - book title
Fairyland
Goblins
New Haunting Mansion - cause Pc players cant get the old one
Pirates new table
Africa theme
Egypt theme
Samurai theme

[attackofthepin]

With word that Disney is looking to license more now that Disney Infinity is cancelled, I feel like now is the time to share my dream tables.

FANTASIA - Each mission corresponds with the different segments, each with the accompanying music. And if there's a Chernabog toy on the table, that would be perfection.

Also

DUCKTALES - There's just a million different things you can do with the concept of the money bin. And the fact that a new series is coming out next year makes the timing absolutely perfect.

Other Tables that I'd like to see are mostly in the animated tv show vein. The style just works so well for pinball.

ADVENTURE TIME
STEVEN UNIVERSE
REGULAR SHOW
GRAVITY FALLS
SIMPSONS
FUTURAMA

Hi, I'm new to this forum, but I've been enjoying Zen Pinball for a long time.

My suggestions:

What about a Star Wars: Jar Jar Binks table?

Hehe, I bet you guys would make something great even with that stinker of a theme.

Now seriously: I did read somewhere in this board that there was a Greek Mythology table in the works. Is that true? Because it would be insanely awesome. For now I'm having a lot of fun with Rome.

About movie licenses, I understand they must be next to impossible to get, but your Aliens table is so amazing that I can only dream of Zen Pinball tables based on more cult classics like Escape from New York, Scarface, etc.

And one more thing: Another car table would be nice, to compensate us for V12 (<-- that table hates me!).

Best regards, and see you on the scoreboards.

EDIT: Someone asked some posts above for an Ancient Egypt table. If that means fighting mummies or creating mummies or whatever mummies, count me in.

[pinballfreak69]

Just rewatched the movie and thought Back to the Future would make for a great table .

Like I mentioned before a Back to the Future table or Tables would be awesome and a very easy sell.And if it happened make some of the sales go to the Michael J Fox foundation to cure Parkinsons disease. Plus the classic Back to the Future music time travel etc Great Scott.

New to the forums but have been enjoying Zen Pinball immensely.

I was wondering if you guys could bring back the Rocky and Bullwinkle table that used to be a part of pinball fx (back in the xbox 360 days). Either that or make a new one if for some reason it proves too difficult to port that old table one over.

Also i think a great source of potential tables could be tables based on classic kids shows from yesteryear--stuff that has become part of americana. Stuff like: Yogi Bear, Scooby Doo,Magilla Gorilla, Mighty Mouse, Deputy Dawg, Popeye,Flintstones, Jetsons, Heathcliff, Garfield etc. and from the 80's cartoons like Thundarr, He-man, GI Joe (the cartoon license not the movie), Transformers (again the toon license not the movie),Thundercats, Galaxy Rangers etc

In keeping with the classic kids shows theme i would LOVE to see tables based on the classic Sid &Marty Kroft shows such as H.R. Pufnstuff, Land of the Lost, Bugaloos, Far Out Space Nuts, Sigmund the Sea Monster etc.

Somewhat unrelated but still something i loved as a kid--could you license from Toho the rights to make a table based on the Japanese Godzilla franchise (not the new american legendary pictures franchise--that must cost a lot!). Such a table would rock!!

Some classic anime based properties would prob kick butt as well such as: Voltron, Robotech, Speed Racer, Gundam, Dragon Ball Z, Star Blazers, Battle of the Planets (Gatchaman) etc.

Well this post has been larger than i expected--thank you very much for reading these boards and appreciating your fan input.

Welcome BP! Awesome suggestions! I've been advocating for a Hanna Barbera license for years. Check my sig out. Hopefully one day it will happen. Still have other awesome tables coming. Love all of your suggestions.

As unbelievable as it may seem I still havent seen Fairy Tale--but it is on my list of things to do this summer ot buy the first few multi episode dvd packs. I guess great minds think alike!

[steven120566]

All good ideas.

Every Zen table is fun to play. But to chime in...ummm..I may be the only person saying this but, the tables that are truly GREAT in my opinion are the original designs. The ones I tire less of playing even over the years. Rome, Tesla, Secrets of the Deep, Epic Quest, Wild West. The list could go on. I understand that licensed tables do seem to generate alot of hype, and keep the game alive and well. But I really miss new, original, concept to completion work the Zen designers USED to do

Fairy Tail is awesome man! You will enjoy the story very much. I think the author is a bit of a perv though.

Still, it's a very entertaining series that deserves more attention. Great minds indeed!

[bluepegasus]

Kind of unrelated to the children's shows idea, but thought it was too good to not share:
You know what would kick butt? A Lucha Underground table!!

Drago, Aerostar, Pentagon, Prince Puma, Fenix,King Cuerno, Mil Muertes, Sexy Star, Cage, Son of Havok, Johnny Mundo, even the propietor Dario Cueto--what a colorful and wonderfully over-the-top world Lucha Underground is. Lucha style wrestling translates perfectly to a frenetic, high energy table with lots of goals. You could even complete a "story" as you advance through the different table goals. The ultimate "wizard goal" that you can try and achieve only after having completed all the other goals could be finally winning the L.U. Championship.

Since LU is a relatively small wrestling organization compared to WWE or TNA perhaps the license rights would be much less. I cant imagine they would be opposed--getting exposure and publicity can't be a bad thing.

Keep on pinballin' !

[bluepegasus]

You aren't the only one! Lots of players like the original stuff We do have original tables in the works but I don't have an ETA yet.

Thanks for this!! I also enjoy the original Zen tables and find them deeply entertaining. I especially like the extra wide tables (the table is so big that it scrolls!) such as Secrets of the Deep and Earth Defense.

Several suggestions for original, license-free tables:

*You made a soccer table, how about an american football table?

*A pinball table with holes where you can sink the pinball and obstacles that can divert the pinball's direction seems to me to be tailor made for golf!!

*Your MARS table seems to be tailor made for a sequel--so the explorers discover that there is alien life on MARS in the first table--what happens next?

*Paranormal can also have a sequel since the investigations of our hero can always go on! How about the hero from paranormal meets cthulhu or similar for a sequel?

*Your Tesla table brings to mind a crazy suggestion--how about a Secrets of the Universe table--based on physics/math/chemistry/astronomy discoveries that changed our understanding of the world?

*Your Excalibur table brings to mind that a natural follow up might be a Sherwood Forest table bringing the robin hood story to life--or perhaps an Arthurian Quest for the Holy Grail table?

*A horror themed table might be a possibility--the spanish inquisition or the salem witch trials come to mind.

*Last but not least, a buddha/buddhism/ search for enlightenment table might be interesting. There's many approaches that could work to such a table--ascending through the different levels of consciousness/reality until reaching enlightenment is one approach that comes to mind.

[Mind-Blown]

Peanuts
Snoopy Vs The Red Barron
Ratchet & Clank
Jason Bourne
James Bond 007
Warcraft
Any new Sports table - American Football
Baseball
How about a slightly more adult table like Playboy? They did have several actual Pinball made for them.
Beach Girls
Doom (from the game)

[thyReaperMC]

Halo table(s)
Lightbridges instead of rails, at least on a Forerunner themed table.
"Space" battles that randomly pop above the table and play out.
"Ground" battles that randomly play various, transforming table architecture, ie, a Halo Wars 2 theme would have the table being built like a base via Pelican drops, depending on how the table is actually playing out. A Forerunner themed map can literally phase in new routes or pieces.
Can mix in different ball traits, such as turning it into an Assault Bomb that can be planted within a time limit. Don't plant it, the explosion can still get certain local area on the table bonus knockdowns/activations.
A LOT OF Halo music! Same for weapon sounds. (Don't be afraid to throw in a lot of Sarge either!).

Heck, an Infinity themed map can involve the table being the hangar deck and the rails act like cargo lifts and such. Constant craft moving in and out... Then Covenant remnants attack inside the bay.. Lots of Roland chatting. I mean Deadpool-style lots!

[bluepegasus]

I like the idea of a Halo table--but Halo is a microsoft xbox exclusive. I don't know how they would feel about licensing the Halo characters to a multiplatform game such as Zen Pinball. Maybe the Halo table would remain exclusive only to the xbox version of Zen Pinball? Or hopefully--it could be a limited time exclusive table? Some things to try and figure out there.

[bluepegasus]

Recently Zen Pinball brought out tables based on the family of FOX Animated properties (Family Guy, American Dad, Bob's Burgers, Archer).

Thinking along similar lines --how about a Matt Groening double pack? The Simpsons and Futurama seem like natural fits and with both series having many seasons and a developed in-series history there are lots of scenarios to choose from that could become goals or triggered events during the course of pinball play.

Peanuts is an awesome idea!!! Perhaps it could be part of a "best of newspaper comic strips" bundle. There would be many comic strips to choose from for such an idea such as: dilbert, beetle bailey, haggar, garfield,bloom county, doonesbury, calvin & hobbes, mother goose and grimm, get fuzzy, life in hell, the far side, pearls before swine, the boondocks.

Also gotta give huge props for the idea of James bond tables. The idea in itself is awesome, though i suspect the licensing fees for that franchise might be so high that it might require some type of a kickstarter campaign. Hopefully that is not the case.

I like the idea of a Halo table--but Halo is a microsoft xbox exclusive. I don't know how they would feel about licensing the Halo characters to a multiplatform game such as Zen Pinball. Maybe the Halo table would remain exclusive only to the xbox version of Zen Pinball? Or hopefully--it could be a limited time exclusive table? Some things to try and figure out there.

While a Halo table would be awesome. I also doubt that Zen would do it. They want their tables across all platforms now. When tables were exclusive to one platform, it was a huge debacle. Halo is Microsoft's title and they ain't releasing that no where else but Xbox and PC.

I am on board with that Matt Groening pack though. People have been requesting those 2 tables you've mentioned for years now. Like you said, the chances of that happening is high seeing as they have/had a deal with FOX.

[bluepegasus]

Maybe a deal with Fox also means the possibility of The X-Files? That would be cool.
Also thinking along the lines of Fox comedy--Married with Children!

Completely unrelated--I wonder if Saban would be open to licensing Power Rangers? The over the top themes, huge visuals and metal music--why the pinball table almost creates itself.

[Cathaeter]

How about anything from White Wolf Publishing, i.e. Vampire The Masquerade table/s.

Hey guys!

Thank you for the Aliens tables!

When can we expect new tables?

ON TOPIC: How about a Lovecraft table or pack, with Cthulhu, the old ones, Dagon, Shoggoths (you name it)!?

New tables are being worked on - we teased this a couple weeks ago and we should have a release date for you all soon

Mentioned twice in this thread and elsewhere too, but I think Jurassic Park would fit well in a pinball universe. Could be a Jurassic Park Trilogy/Jurassic World 2-pack.

[thedoc46]

Pulp Fiction.

So iconic in many ways. That would be an awesome theme for a pinball table.

[bluepegasus]

Being such a Batman fan, I really wish Zen had a license with DC Comics.

Speaking of comic book universes--The Valiant Universe might be a good pick up (awesome plots in these comics) and since they are still in their infancy as a company, licensing their stuff could be economic. X-O Manowar, Bloodshot, Rai, Archer & Armstrong, Harbinger, Shadowman, Quantum & Woody, Eternal Warrior, Timewalker, Ninjak, and Dr. Mirage--all these titles make great fodder for pinball tables. The Valiant Universe is rich in lore.

Hoping for Rogue One tie-in playable in both Star Wars Pinball (more trophies) and ZP2.

I think the Force Awakens ones launched in early January (a few weeks after the movie), so I am thinking even though this hasn't been announced yet, there is still a decent chance.

Yes, and maybe add a Bistan Table.

I have some suggestions! I've been dreaming up new pinball tables every night while falling asleep for the past couple of weeks, and I figured I'd pitch the "good" ones here, just in case. I haven't read the thread, so any repeated ideas must just be really good.

1) Vampire Jury. You're a juror for some trial or other, and you're trying to convince the other jurors (like Twelve Angry Men), but one of them is a vampire, and you don't know who it is. (I like the idea of the allegiances from the Civil War table, but in another setting.)

2) Time travel, but local. There've been a couple of physical pinball tables involving time travel to different eras, but I'm picturing something more like the movie Primer, in which you're traveling to multiple points within the same week. Maybe each day of the week is a different mode, and you can go back and rerun days that didn't work out for you. Maybe have a multiball mode where each ball is a copy of yourself, and if two balls collide they cancel out?

3) A make-a-table table. You start with a mostly empty white field, and modes add new features to the playfield. Maybe with some element of player choice - do I want a ramp or a bank of targets there?

4) I'd like a bank of targets that aren't all reachable at once, and there's something you can do to rotate the lit targets. Maybe a dry-cleaning rack, or a merry-go-round, or something like that.

5) I'd like a mode that freezes one of the flippers, but raises a center post so that it won't make it more likely for you to drain. (You may have already done this in a table I haven't played?)

6) A pirate-themed table with a center ship running up the middle of the table, with planks and yardarms and what have you, that rocks back and forth when there's a storm. There are ramps that run across the middle of the table, and when the ship tilts they point at new targets.

Thanks for reading these! I hope they're at least fun or useful to contemplate.

Thanks and welcome to the forums! Primer was soooo good - I think I need to watch it again

With all the Fox tables recently added, I was wondering if anyone thought of coming up with a Simpsons or Futurama table.

Likewise, the latest Bethesda tables make me fancy a Dragon Age and Mass Effect table.

What do you think about it?

[mce911fr]

A remake of Devils Crush that I had on Turbo Graphix 16. That was a fun pinball game in the day.

I'd give anything to see some John Carpenter themed tables centered on some of his older films. My personal favorites would be:

- The Thing
- The Fog
- Escape From New York
- Big Trouble in Little China

All have excellent soundtracks/dialogue that would lend themselves well - especially Big Trouble in Little China. Jack Burton's one-liners are just too good!

Would also love a few Mad Max tables.

- Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior
- Mad Max 4 Fury Road

*edit* can't believe I forgot to include a table based on my all time favorite film - Blade Runner!

[tfhfony]

On the Amiga (And later also on other platforms) you had the Pinball Dreams/Fantasies/Illusions by Digital Illusions. This was a classic series. It would be very cool to have "remakes" of these tables in ZP2:

For example:

* Pinball Dreams: Nightmare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZKWHNHBgMQ
* Pinball Fantasies: Stones & Bones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOnEf6UsF_4
* Pinball Fantasies: Party Land: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJLp_Q9-nno
* Pinball Illusions: Law 'n Justice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcAiigYLisM

The Thing could be just like the Aliens vs pack (The Prequel, The Thing and The Thing Game.)
the rest of the table ideas are equally as good.
