12	Licensing properties from other media has a long tradition in {{Pinball}} games. After all, every pinball machine needs a [[ExcusePlot theme]], and established works are a convenient source.
13
14	Nowadays, with the rise of home video game consoles and the decline of arcades, almost all new tables are {{licensed game}}s, as they provide significant name recognition for curious new players. Even hobbyists recognize the draw of a good license; many home-made games have been based on popular pop-culture icons like ''Franchise/StarFox'' and ''Film/TheMatrix''.
15
16	PinballSpinoff is a related trope for pinball games based on VideoGame properties. LicensedGame is the video game equivalent trope.
