- Chicago Gaming Company (CGC) has indicated they don't see much value in keeping licenses for other Williams titles beyond the ones they've already released.
- Josh Sharpe is working on the rules code for Pulp Fiction pinball machine.
- Lyman code updates are expected to come to Cactus Canyon as a personal tribute project.
- Stranger Things (Stern rerun) is being released without UV kits included despite original run having them, and both the game and UV kit prices have increased.
- Pokemon is rumored to be a future Stern Pinball release, though Neil expresses skepticism about its authenticity.
- The Beatles pinball machine was limited to approximately 1,900 total units, with pricing starting at around 15,000 GBP for the Gold Edition and reaching 40,000 GBP for the Diamond Edition.
Notable quotes
“I nearly cancelled it, and I'm so glad I didn't. It is a better game than most people realise, and anyone who thinks it's not a good game, they're brain dead, frankly, because it's a great game.”
“I said to him, like, I said, if I had a choice between personally, between an Attack from Mars or Stranger Things, it would be Stranger Things.”
“For me, Pulp Fiction without the topper, I was just like, nah, I'll just leave it.”
“I literally pinged them and said, guys, I want one of these for the UK Open. Please, you know, I'll give you 20 grand right now. Just send me one of these freaking games.”
“Stern have got like a pretty much spoiler plate approach to this. They mail IGN. IGN post something. A teaser video appears on YouTube.”
“If they broke even, I'd be stunned by it.”
“They're still making Premium units, I think, that's still got to be made. So I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt on this one. I think we'll see some ship in February.”
