Kineticist’s take
TPF 2024 post-show review: new layouts praised, Jaws/Labyrinth standouts, Spooky build quality concerns.
Synopsis
At Texas Pinball Festival 2024, hosts Tony and Dennis review newly released and prototype pinball machines. They praise Jaws for solid gameplay despite theme indifference, Labyrinth for exceptional polish and theme integration as a first release, and Elton John for powerful mechanics. They criticize Spooky's Looney Tunes and Texas Chainsaw Massacre for flipper failures and complex rules, while Venom impresses with experimental rule depth but basic layout. Dutch Pinball achievement completing early preorders after years receives recognition.
