Synopsis
Pinball News and Pinball Magazine editors Jonathan Houston and Martin Ayer discuss March 2020 industry news during COVID-19 lockdowns. Most pinball manufacturers shut down due to stay-at-home orders in the US, with Dutch Pinball as the sole operating manufacturer. Two new games were revealed: Multimorphic's Heist (P3 platform module) and American Pinball's Hot Wheels, both receiving positive reception despite challenging launch circumstances.
