  • Rush, which won Game of the Year, was not displayed at Texas Pinball Festival 2023 despite designer John Borg being present
  • Texas Pinball Festival 2023 had significantly more diversity in attendees including more women, children, and diverse demographics compared to previous years
  • Ninja Eclipse prototype was shown at an extremely early development stage, estimated 30-35% complete
  • Final Resistance (Multimorphic P3 game by Matt Danesi) shoots three balls in under one second from the ship mechanism
  • Scooby-Doo has excessive horseshoe targets on the playfield, creating many 'safe shots' rather than high-risk/high-reward shots
  • Bond 60 is priced around $8,000-$10,000, with only 300 units allocated to the U.S. market out of 500 total worldwide
  • Turner Pinball acquired assets and licenses from defunct Deep Root Pinball and is attempting to resurrect the game catalog

Notable quotes

“if George Gomez and Keith Owen made perfect pinball machines like Deadpool and Godzilla and those two games had a baby it would be Foo Fighters”
Amanda Hamilton
“I sat in line three times to play Scooby-Doo and never got the opportunity to play it”
George Fisher
“I went through ball one and at that point it's time... Ball three, I just flat out drained it because I was bored of the game”
Amanda Hamilton
“It was a con artist... He took advantage of a, not Turner, Robert Dave Mueller, took advantage of the goodwill in the industry and leveraged people who were desperate for more pinball and basically stole from a lot of people”
Amanda Hamilton
“It felt like a homebrew that a couple people put together and brought it out way before it was ready to be shown”
George Fisher
“The static playfield... the LCD might be displaying stuff but it was more additive as opposed to a requirement”
Amanda Hamilton
“If you have a Multimorphic P3 you are definitely buying this game”
Amanda Hamilton
