In the very latest Stinger Report e-newsletter (which came to my e-mail after I had finished posting yesterday), we have word that Stern will create a pinball based upon Terminator Salvation later this year. As you might recall, we have reported on a rumor that an arcade company is working on a light-gun title based upon the same movie which is also slated to come along later in the year and I can pass along an assurance that the two games are not the same thing. I am curious as to why the games are coming months from now instead of later this month when the movie launches – perhaps to coincide with the DVD release but Terminator itself has a short legacy in pinball, first with the groundbreaking Terminator 2 pin and later with Terminator 3.
At the very least, a later release on TS pinball should mean that they have no excuse to get some real footage and lines taken from the movie as opposed to using stock trailer footage.
Complement.
Let’s see the gun game! This is one license that lends itself well to arcade shooters. T2 was the shit when it came out.
