We're getting into the late '70s on my chronological pinball series (Silver Ball Century) and we're mostly free of the "Verb-A-Card" theme. It's been the theme of a dozen or so Gottlieb tables, usually with titles of exactly that form ("Spot-A-Card", "Drop-A-Card", "Spin-A-Card", etc.) They really all start to blur together and I've been skipping some of them.
There's still a lot of tables left where the theme is "you're playing pool, and by 'playing pool' we mean you're playing pinball and lighting up 15 lights".
Here are some other themes that I am not going to play every table from:
- Specific Brand of Car
- Dad Rock Band
- Action Hero (you told me one of them was going to be the last one, and you lied)
Surprisingly, "soccer" is a fine theme that doesn't get old. Somehow every soccer-themed pinball table is completely different from the next one.
