?? Doesn't even look like a pinball machine.... Looks like a gambling
roulette table or something really weird. Is it called a pinball machine?


who cares if it is pinball
somebody is thinking outside the square, and that HAS to be good ;)

I have never seen so many people yelling any laughing around a pinball before so it must be a gambling something. One side is placing coins down a lot so add alcohol and profit, hey presto, a winner !

Strictly not a pinball as we know it but boy it looks popular.

+1

Screen oriented tech, whether in the playfield itself or enhanced over the standard display in the backbox is the way to go.

Yeah, main two toys got removed late in the build. It certainly is rare to have a pin with no ball interactive toy/s.

I was interested in this until they dropped the toys i must admit, i do like my machines to have interactive toys.

I am holding high hopes for their next pin Aliens though, i am really hoping that turns out well.

Quote from Dennis himself which could upset a few supporters, gotta wonder why:


"I have decided to end my relationship with Heighway Pinball. I am not the game designer on the Alien project. I made the initial playfield drawing and created concepts for 4 new playfield toys. The drawing can change drastically as the game develops. Andrew announced that the game would be ready in April and I can't possibly agree with this. I've seen the video that he submitted to FOX and if the game turns out anything like this it will be great."

As I posted on Pinside, storm in a teacup

Stern is the only company employing designers, all others are on a contract. Design a game and move on

Designers would be expensive to employ, especially when your startup is only producing one game every 12-18 months

Thanks for that, wonder why Heighway hasn't announced it?
