From the creator

Pinball: We discuss Pinball Adventures and their Punny Factory reveal, discuss the newly announced TiltBob Pinball company out of Florida, talk about the status of the expanded code for Cactus Canyon...

Highlights

  • Punny Factory will be priced at the same as a Stern Pro
  • Cactus Cactus Canyon (Remake) expanded code is not remotely near ready and won't be available in 2023
  • Lyman F. Sheats Jr. has passed away and will not be programming the CCR expanded code
  • Tilt Bob Pinball's first game will have an original theme (not a license)
  • Chicago Chicago Gaming Company is not expected to deliver Pulp Fiction in Q3 2024 based on historical delays

Notable quotes

Because toppers are dumb. Figure it out. Dumb expensive. Figure it out.
Dennis
The biggest hurdle – and I've talked about this before with what feels like practically every company – is the fact that it's an unlicensed theme. That would be the big killer.
Dennis
I don't think they're expecting to sell 1,000 units of this. So if the goal is to turn out 100 or 200 units and then move on to the next game...
Dennis
It sounds so, so far behind. And they're having so many issues and they've got a new game coming at the end of the year. It definitely, it is like back side burner at this point.
Dennis
How many more are you really selling? It's going to be another year plus to get it.
Dennis
