This would be an AWESOME license, if Stern could get it. Even 21 years later,
it's still a popular film, especially with the Spike TV and hip hop crowd (Who,
by the way, are a GREAT demographic to market to)
Gameplay would be fast, furious and really controversial. You play as the
infamous Tony Montana. The goal is to deal as much blow as possible, arrive on
Miami shores and work odd jobs, climb the druglord ladder, kill Alexander Sosa
and finally reach the wizard mode: King of Coke (or whatever clever name you
come up with). This game wouldn't be for kids.
Music and sound would rock, with a variety of 80's synth-coke tunes and phrases
from the film itself. Each quote would be said at the right time, not just
spewed for the hell of it.
-Lock one ball, "You think I get a scar like this from eating p*$$y?".
-Lock another, "The only thing I got is my (pin)balls and my word. And I don't
break 'em for no one".
-Lock a third and "Say hello to my leetle fren!"
Playfield art is amazingly 80's Miami art deco cheese, with the cabinets
utilizing the art scheme as the movie poster (black and white with red Scarface
logo and Tony holding a gun at the player with clenched teeth).
Playfield toys could be the Babylon nightclub, Frank Lopez's mansion and the
giant indoor hottub. A huge globe sits in the center with the words "The World
is Yours" encircling it. You travel across Miami and NYC, with various side
missions and mini-games to keep the gameplay deep, but fun.
Come on Stern, this license would be hot!
Let's get some opinions!

I did a post awhile back adding to a "games you'd like to see" thread
about how cool a Scarface pin would be. So many great sound bites and
a theme you could really exploit with 80's stuff being "cool" at the
moment. It would probably attract the "Grand Theft Auto" video game
crowd too which is huge.
I know some company is planning a Scarface video game for late next
year.
It's very rare for a sequel (or even an approved knockoff) to approach
the original but nothing beats or matches the level of sac in this
ultimate rendition of SCARFACE.

any video game or Stern liscence will pale by comparison.

SO why not a Grand theft auto pin. Car themes are geat when you add
some fansty to them. Just think, steal cars drive em into the dock to
lock em, Kill frenzy Multi ball, ride the subway. Steal certain cars
for certain combo shots made. So many diffrent missions that could all
fit into a pin and still keep it clean enough for the kids, and still
have an adult flavor to it. We all know what they can program, should
make for an intresing pin with some video modes. What this has over a
Scarface pin is that it dont have a tie in with drugs. This would not
appeal to most of the market, drugs in the past have been a problem to
all arcades. Why promote drugs. For the most part, Scarface was based
around drugs and murder, i dont see where you could get a deep rule
set out of 2 things that would not appeal to the average collector.
Not to mention the foul mouth .
Great movie Al, just the wrong pin. I dont think there would be
enough sound clips without getting in a "Fork You" in here an there.
GTF on the other hand has alot more to offer without going into drug
wars. Even know the video game version has drug deals, the game is so
much more that they could afford to leave that detail out of the
project.
