Make a pachinko wish!

[JamesM]

Congratulations!
The magic pachi faerie has granted you a magic pachinko wish!
You've gained the opportunity to design a pachinko theme,
produced at the top company of your choice.
Your choice can be a franchise not yet explored in the pachi world,
or a unique design of your own imagination.

Cost is no object. Utilize giant plasma displays,
or as many mechanical subassemblies as your mind can conjure.
Only one hundred machines will be assembled.

Describe your overall theme. What are it's hooks/ attention grabbers?
What are it's main colors? What are it's musical themes?
What are it's unique features?
Which company do you select to create your dream pachi?
My answer will be posted soon.

This should turn out to be a good thread! let me think about this.

my first thought is, bigger is better.

A pachinko that is wall size....you know, the size of the Plinko board on Price is Right....

YA THAT's IT!! Eureka!!

I want a giant Price is Right themed Plinko-Pachinko, that is giant sized and jackpot rounds involve Barker's Beauty's, of course you get the "Come on DOWN!" and music of PiR, it shows you good prizes you have to "bid" on (by getting balls in certain slots.....watch out! Your bid's too high!! Stop shooting!! What do the other characters bid......WOO WOO You win, go on to next rounds!! Oh, wait, your bid too low, SHOOT FASTER!!!!)

/wonder, is there already one that's a HUGE pachinko??

From you last comments I thought i'd do a search for the largest pachinko and came up with this.

Its pretty damn big, any ideas on what size transformer I should fit??? Also how much would shipping from Japan be by EMS?

[zoneacgamer]

that is inspiring.....

I shall embark upon my own custom huge pachinko building project

How about a multi level pachinko with different levels of depth. this could be done with clear plexy inverted ramps like on pinball machines. There could be Tubes too. A Super Mario Bros. Themed Pachinko would be cool with green tubes. Balls could even be lifted back up to higher points. Mike : )

Hmmmmmm...................the ultimate pachinko. I sorta like the size they are, maybe a little bigger. The one thing that makes a pachinko more fun for me (over a pachislo); there is sorta of a skill level involved with playing them. I grew up playing pinball machines. So, I would like to see a little more player involvement with the playing field.

It would be cool to have a machine actually turn into a pinball machine during the fever round. It would allow you to have several balls in play and real flipper action. Remember the pinball machines that had a second play-board underneath the main one. You could put a second playing field behind the first one that lit up during the fever round. A playing field with cool tunnels and drop zones.

My first love was Marine Biology. So the machine would have to have an ocean theme, sea-breeze blue in color and reggae music. And since Taiyo Elec does such a great job, I would choose them to build it.

My ideal pachinko is one with a Schnazer Theme. with a 8 inch LCD.

of course it would have to have some pretty ladies in it too

the title would be "Schnazer and Friends"

The ladies would make him do tricks to change the numbers, or throw a numbered frisbie on the beach to change them.

My wish design is the following:
A Victorian/ steam-age theme based on Pinball Pro's Fantastic Journey
Predominate colors include polished brass, oak, & red leather
fiberoptic lighting both in the cell, and in the frame simulate steam effects.
a real 3-D gauge displays steam pressure. more =closer to fever.
At full pressure, the gage "teeters" while the needle displays DANGER.
Steam communicates status: more leaking steam = closer to super jackpot.
Animated 3-D pipe segment "bulges" under rising pressure, ultimately "bursting open".
Anamatronic 3-D steam powered mythical vehicles present five chapters toward the super jackpot: car, flying device, submarine, tank, and dirigible each with a goal & storyline.
Replacing an LCD display is an embedded dot matrix display ala mid-80's pinball.


Other theme ideas are:
Snoopy
Flintstones
Monopoly(game)
Herbie the Lovebug
Keystone cops
Japanese Shinkansen
Taxi driving theme
Japanese date-sims
Happy cows theme
