Kineticist’s take
Slam Tilt post-TPF review covers new game impressions and industry news.
Synopsis
Ron and Bruce discuss Texas Pinball Festival (TPF) coverage, news items including Stern's Venom accessories, Chicago Gaming's Medieval Madness Merlin Edition ($12,000) and Cactus Canyon upgrade kit ($1,250), and Pinball Brothers' ABBA wizard mode and upcoming Predator release. Bruce provides detailed hands-on impressions of new games at TPF: Blues Brothers (unreliable, poor art), D&D Premium (cool dragon head but not worth $2,500 premium), Cactus Canyon with kit, Merlin's Arcade (disappointing layout despite John Norris design), and Portal/Multimorphic display. The episode also covers local news about Rochester Pinball Collective new LED sign, Ron's Meteor acquisition, and Stomp tournament details (46 pre-registered of 80 max spots).
