Highlights

  • Brad Albright has done three layouts with art at Pinball Expo shows (Winchester Mystery House, Portal, and Monster League Hockey)
  • The playfield can be cut, printed, and cleared and ready to install in 48 hours using UV direct print technology
  • Monster League Hockey features six LCD screens with a one-to-one flipper-to-LCD ratio (six flippers, six screens)
  • The original Alvin G Soccer game had weak flippers that were replaced with stronger ones to make the game faster
  • The team used FAST Pinball boards and Mission Pinball Framework (MPF) running on Python for coding
  • The team previously built the SAW homebrew machine and brought back most of the same crew for Monster League Hockey
  • Glenn made roughly $0.05-$0.10 in millions from the Monster League Hockey machine (appears to be joking about no revenue)
  • The team is considering bringing either Monster League Hockey or SAW to Pinball Expo 2026

Notable quotes

“We did SAW last year. Jake asked me if I wanted to do the audio and I said, 'Well, who else is building the game?' He goes, 'I don't know.' I said, 'Well, how about we just get the whole Saw team back together?'”
Glenn
“We started with two LCD screens, ended up with six LCD screens. Uh the lights, it just kind of gets there eventually.”
Joe
“You can actually cut, print, and clear a playfield and have it ready to install in like 48 hours.”
Lonnie
“Making a pinball machine is a different type of feeling, different energy than just showing up and playing tournaments or just showing up and playing game. It's it's a different type like bonding experience, if you will.”
Austin
“I am a free agent.”
Glenn
“The flipper to LCD ratio is one to one. We got six flippers, six LCD screens. Um I guess that's a first.”
