I'll be the first to admit that I only have a passing understanding of modern VIDEO GAMING. I currently have a Retro Duo gaming console, which plays NES and SNES games. That's all I really need. This wasn't always the case, though. I never really followed the game releases, and their progress. Games would come out, and I would find out about them after-the-fact. The ONE exception was Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner. I am the BIGGEST riant robot nut, and that game was, hands down, the BEST giant robot game EVER. I decided to make a dream machine that combined my love of Zone of the Enders with my love of pinball!

Being based on a video game, ZOE2 follows a natural ebb and flow that would translate well into a mode-based pinball game. My favorite thing about this idea is having the DMD where the rule card would be. Since interacting with the robot is a big part of the game, having the "control console" closer to where your hands are would make it feel more like you're in a cockpit.
