Title: Is there / Has there ever been a Blues Brothers Pinball??
Post by: Luigi on September 10, 2009, 03:20:40 pm

A friend of me and a big fan of the Blues Brothers told me that he played a BB pinball about 18 years ago. I did a search through the internet but only found clues to a fake for a movie named "Wired" and a "Road Show" pinball that was meant to become a BB pin but was changed due to the lack of license.

Any hints on a real BB pinball out there??


Thanks
Luigi :)

I don't know of a Blues Brothers game, but there is a game or two out there that play the music.

A good pin theme could be made of the Blues Brothers.   
Ball trapped in prison, car chase, flame thrower, nuns.

Can't be done because of the licenses.  So many songs would have to be licensed you couldn't break even if you sold Twilight Zone numbers.  Without the songs it's not a very good theme.  That doesn't even factor in the faces you'd need.  It wouldn't work as a game with generic faces and songs.
