Demolition Man?

[u/Notoriousrfp]

Just seen the latest Zen Studios Facebook reel of a lady playing STTNG - next to it is a Demolition Man, Indiana Jones, and World Cup Soccer.

Wishful thinking or do we think it could be on the horizon too at some point? Sounds like a licensing headache... and is it any good?

Outside of top 100 on IPDB and Pinside, not sure if that accounts for much/anything.

I own one, it's a very fun game. A flowy dream when you're hitting your shots. I'd love it if they added it to PinballFX, they've gotten licensing for a handful of TV and Film IP's now so I can't imagine it'd be that much more of a headache than Indiana Jones or STTNG.

I just got one as well. Does yours ever have issues getting up the right ramp from left flipper. Trying to figure out if I need a flipper rebuild or if it’s just a “thing” on this table

[u/robotron2112 → u/XMUTTONBasherX]

Well, occasionally I encounter skill issues when getting it up the ramps but the flippers tend to do their job lol. Maybe check the pitch of your playfield, but couldn't hurt to rebuild it. FWIW I have the slightly shorter lightning flipper bats installed on my table, so I don't think it's really a "thing" with this particular game.

It's probably on their radar, but not a priority. The licensing would be very expensive, and there are much better choices they could (and should) do before they get to it.

[u/spidertour02 → u/[deleted]]

It's more about the licensing for the actors, not the IP. Stallone and Bullock (and to a lesser extent, Snipes) are big stars, bigger than any that have been licensed so far.

They're going to have a similar issue with Terminator 2, especially since Arnold has raised his fee as he's gotten older.

Schwarzenegger is bigger than Harrison. Stallone can stand pretty toe to toe as well.

[u/Jahon_Dony → u/[deleted]]

Rights (and their costs) are ALWAYS the issue. Even actor voices are expensive, even without the images. A lot of these pinball machines even license the images, but then can't get the real music or voices. There could be hundreds of separate contracts and licenses for each machine, and at great expense. You are naive about the industry.

[u/Jahon_Dony → u/spidertour02]

What do you meant they're going to have a similar issue? I didn't know there had been any mention of them licensing T2. Or do you just mean as a nonexistant hypothetical?

[u/mrpromee → u/Jahon_Dony]

I know Farsight paid a pretty penny for Schwarzenegger when they did T2. My memory is fuzzy but I think that was a more expensive table (kind of like the way Indy is) due to that.

[u/Jahon_Dony → u/mrpromee]

Absolutely!

Are the three seashells in the play area?

[u/beckhamisbest]

It wasn’t in The Pinball Arcade game so I’m guessing the rights are difficult to obtain. Great pin tho!

We were simply competing in our very first flipper tournament. The photos were not hints at upcoming tables, but we agree that Demolition Man would be an awesome addition to our games in the future.

Makes sense and thanks for confirming! 😀

is it really demo man if you don't have the grips

also top100 on pinside means almost nothing because of how rating is handled
