Pinball Industry News: September 2019 Re-cap
New Elvira pinball game, new Ghostbusters code, Suncoast Pinball bankruptcy and much more pinball industry news discussed by Martin Ayub and Jonathan Joosten.
Kineticist’s take
Suncoast folds; Elvira revealed with incomplete code; Ghostbusters update delivers big
Synopsis
This September 2019 industry recap covers three major stories: Suncoast Pinball's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing and shutdown of pinball operations after Cosmic Carnival underperformed; Stern Pinball official reveal and early streaming of Elvira's House of Horrors (a long-delayed Dennis Nordman/Greg Ferris design), which received mixed reception due to incomplete code; and Stern's highly praised version 1.16 code update for Ghostbusters, which dramatically improved gameplay and player satisfaction after years of waiting.
