I remember the thought behind it but I don't remember why it was such a good idea. I do remember though it was a good idea.

I would do a Harry Potter pin. So many ideas. Quidditch Multiball, Find The Snitch mode, Death Eater Multiball. Endless possibilities.

If Beck Heck ever gets his mini-pinball project onto shelves I plan to buy two. One is getting a Ninjago retheme for my son, and the other will get Rapunzel.

Now that Classic Batman theme is done, I would go for a non-licensed theme. Probably an EM re-theme with a carnival theme, just thinking about all the games you can include (whack-a-mole, skee ball, riffle range, a 'ring the bell' animated in the back box...) probably to much possibilities for an EM :) You can even include a 'rigged' feature and you need to do the shoot again to complete an objective.

I have a dead playfield for it, just no time to start a heavy project like that.

A philosphical pinball machine detalling the game of life. Shooter lane is the path out of the womb and the outhole is the grave. What happens between the forward thrust of your being onto the playfield of life is where you make your choices and take action in making the targets that will provide you with the life you have aimed for and worked towards until the outhole comes after a long or short ball time. Sometimes the outhole comes suddenly, especially on gambling pinballs.

Features :

The three metamorphisis sequencial drop target banks
Plato's cave of appearences - entering as one ball comes out as three.
Being and nothingness disappearing balls and lapse time of manifestation
The eteranal reoccurence ramp
The useless spinner of human passions
The military school of life number sequence
The top arch of cause and effect
Discovery of the underbelly of life's subway

I could go on but you get the idea. If you don't, you haven't really made your shots yet or paid attention to the playfield which is your life. Then again, maybe I am out to lunch again and pinball is just a game.

Happy new year boys and girls.

Une règle suivi guéri de tout. A rule respected can cure anything.

A philosophy of doing shall rule until the days when I can no longer "do" arrive. Because when I am too old to adjust an AX relay or relieve a woman friend from sighing, there will only be memories to fill my time. So, the task at hand is to build that RRSP of memories in order to joyfully cushion the later stages of life.

Personally prefer the exceptional qualities lurking beneath any normal state of affairs. Alas, our day to day is being promoted as extraordinary via a world wide web largely fueled by the new dumb & followed closely by the latest breed of unscrupulous scoundrels & judas goats. So, god bless the fool hearted, the crazed, and the railroaded all in good measure for they will likely inherit what is left of the earth after the screwheads are done with it. God damn darwinian primates, why do they refuse to evolve, even after all we should have learned from being dumb savages for so long.
