[QUOTE="JoshuaKadmon, post: 24299, member: 1046"] Love the art style and the English pub theme. The playfield layout looks promising, too. Back in the heyday of pinball, first in the early 1980s and later in the 1992-1997 peak, we had a multitude of American manufacturers with a handful of international companies all competing for the market. But since 2000, it's been all Stern except for the classic collections here and there. It would be so nice to see a global pinball market, with televised competitions and some hardcore arcade circuits. Now that the UK may see it's first contender in the pinball industry, maybe we could get Japan's pachinko-crazy populous involved, perhaps the Aussies or a Euro revival. It's too soon to get excited, I suppose, but stranger things have happened. To witness a full-on pinball resurrection in 2012/2013 would be nuts! For the most part, pinball has always been regarded as uniquely American, but we're just too fickle with our entertainment loyalties. Maybe a global market is the ticket to bringing pinball back for good, to have it stick as a major competitive hobby like poker and table tennis. [/QUOTE]
