Summary

Dutch Pinball's Alice in Wonderland draw harsh criticism for resurrecting failed Zidware IP with poor design and inappropriate art at $12.5K.

Hosts Tony and Dennis discuss Dutch Pinball's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland reveal with overwhelmingly negative sentiment, citing the resurrection of a failed Zidware concept by John Papaduke, poor layout design including a problematic upper playfield with magna-flippers, excessive and inappropriate sexualization of the art package, bare mechanical engineering (plastic ramps instead of metal), and a $12,500 price point. They view it as a cash grab with minimal creative effort and a betrayal of the pinball community's trust in Dutch Pinball following their successful early recovery.
