The Goonies Pinball Machine Is Coming – And The FOMO Is Already Real
Summary
Gonzo reacts to Spooky's Goonies teaser, speculating on wide-body design, pirate ship playfield and a rumored 1,500-unit run.
Gonzo's Pinball Flipperama reacts to Spooky Pinball teaser trailer for an upcoming The Goonies pinball machine, which he considers an open secret. He speculates on a wide-body layout, a pirate ship upper playfield, topper, and a rumored 1,500-unit run, while noting the FOMO it generates. He also mentions Back to the Future timing and other pipeline games.
Spooky Pinball has officially teased its next pinball machine—and it’s The Goonies. It may have been one of pinball’s worst-kept secrets, but the announcement has already created a serious case of FOMO among collectors. In this video, I discuss the teaser, whether it may have shown us something connected to the topper, the possibilities offered by the film’s characters and set pieces, and whether Spooky can manufacture enough machines to meet the likely demand. Could the Bone Organ, One-Eyed Willy’s pirate ship, Data’s gadgets and the Truffle Shuffle all find their way into the game? And after the demand for Beetlejuice, how quickly will people feel they need to place an order? Let me know whether The Goonies pinball machine is a dream theme for you—and whether you’re already considering buying one.
