We Are Pinball #27 "The Texas Edition!!"

TPF wrap-up: Spooky Evil Dead sells out, Darth Vader Star Wars rumor emerges.

Synopsis

We Are Pinball episode 27 covers the Texas Pinball Festival, where Spooky Pinball's Evil Dead sold out rapidly (59 games remaining at show start, down to near-zero by show end) following on-site playtesting. The hosts discuss Chicago Gaming's Medieval Madness Limited Edition ($12,000, sold out preorders), Cactus Canyon expensive code update ($1,200-1,400), and speculate about Stern's future monetization strategies and potential new pinball themes. Most notably, an unverified rumor suggests a Darth Vader-themed Star Wars pinball machine is in development at Stern with designer John Borg.
