Man, I prove my ineptness at every turn. Let's see if I can post this new one that has the plastic covers over the lights.

Well, after a long absence of mind, I am back working on my pinball projecct. Having dismissed the King Tut machine due to extreme oldness, I've pretty much secured a newer, more shiny electronic pinball beast. It's got sound, tracks, more lights, pop down targets, and four player mode! Best part is, well there are two parts, the first one being that it's fairly obscure and not very valuable, so the cost is only $500, as opposed to $2000 for similar machines.

Second, check out the shinyness:

Isn't it awesome? Look at that black circle at the bottom. Am I the only one who can see the Serenity logo in it's place?

No, I am not insane, I am crazy. Thank you for asking.

No, you are not the only one. The serenity Logo would go perfectly there. I don't think that it would be complete without it and that's the only place it can go.

I Reckon that if you send the schematics on it to a big company so that their reading it ties in with the DVD sales, they would think about it.

But,

If you got the names of a large number of Browncoats from all around the world, they would be more interested in making it.

I am all behind this idea, and will do everything in my power to support it.

Maybe this could keep the story flying.

I *loved* the DR Who pinball machine! It was awesome to play, but, sadly, it didn't stay in the local arcade past a month.

I am liking the thought of a Firefly pinball. *pout* I want one, gorrammit!

Actually a better pinball game to transform for it is the old Haunted House one with the multi-levels. Then it could be parts of Serenity and...out in the black.

I was lucky enough to find this working one for cheap, rmmc. I'm trying not to count my goslings before they hatch, ya know?

The Logo yes, how can you not see it?
I can see Serenity herself right there in the middle of the board. Where that huge circle and the arrow is.
And depending on whether your taking from the show or the movie the surroundings can be Haven, or Whitefall, or Miranda.
It already has a Firefly feel with the female in army gear. Imagine that being Jayne.
On the back side where those 3 ships are how about Reaver ships.
There looks to be a plastic helicopter in the upper right of the board. I think if you can manage to buy the Serenity model resin kit that would be amazing to use.
The big yellow bumpers can have Blue Sun logos, and with the added sound clips from the show and movie, you'd have a hell of an amazing game. (I can hear the one from Jayne, Damaging my calm)

DAMN, that'd be something I'd kill to have. I grew up with Pinball machines, am pretty good at them and I can so see myself playing this. I wish you all the best of luck pinballwizard (I take it you've seen Tommy) I envy you, and I also wish you all the best, you'll need it for this undertaking. But God the love of the show brings out the best in people, have you noticed? You've got patience and brass to do this. Hope you keep us informed of your progress.

Hope you show us the upper half. Good Luck.

One more edit. For the upper half, if your having trouble looking for a good image there are amazing artists who have done posters for the show, maybe they'd be willing to let you use one of their images. I see the BDH's with the ship behind them. Ok, got my creative juices flowing here. Always dangerous.

If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting

Ok, ONE more edit, promise. You can't have this game and NOT have the opening song. Even if it's the revised version in the movie. Promise, last edit.

Would you believe, Misstressahara, that I was thinking along those same lines. Except the drop down targets would also make good reavers, and the setting will be half huge space battle, half landing at Mr. Universe's complex. But those are some great ideas. Great minds think alike, eh?

No, I am not insane, I am crazy. Thank you for asking.

Natch. Sorry, sometimes my brain and fingers have a direct connection as the mental censors take their coffee breaks. The brain basically said "ooo...wouldn't that be nifty?" and the fingers just typed it out. Bad brain. No sugar.

Actually, I'm in awe that you actually *have* a pinball machine. The only price tag I can afford right now is "free."

You *are* gonna show it to us when you get it all set up, right? Shiny!
