Untold Pinball Stories – Episode: Mark Ritchie At the Dutch Pinball Museum, we believe pinball is more than machines. It’s about people. Stories. Legacy. In this episode of Five Minutes to Tilt, we sit down with Mark Ritchie, designer of iconic machines including Fish Tales and Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure, for a fast, honest, five-minute story. Timed with a real kitchen timer. No script. No second takes. Just one story. Mark shares what happens when pinball machines are built in difficult times… When materials weren’t always what they should have been. He tells how some machines literally began to fall apart — not because of design, but because of the wood they were built from. And he reveals the story behind a hidden easter egg in Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure — a small secret, waiting to be discovered by those who know where to look. A story about craftsmanship. About imperfection. And about the hidden details that give pinball its soul. This series is our way of preserving the voices behind the silverball. Because pinball history doesn’t only live in backglasses and playfields. It lives in people. Enjoy the story. Recorded by the Dutch Pinball Museum, Rotterdam Five minutes. One untold story. Untold Pinball Stories – Aflevering: Mark Ritchie Bij het Dutch Pinball Museum geloven we dat pinball meer is dan machines. Het gaat om mensen. Verhalen. Erfgoed. In deze aflevering van Five Minutes to Tilt gaan we in gesprek met Mark Ritchie, ontwerper van iconische flipperkasten zoals Fish Tales en Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure, voor een eerlijk verhaal van vijf minuten. Getimed met een echte kookwekker. Geen script. Geen herkansingen. Gewoon één verhaal. Mark vertelt wat er gebeurt wanneer flipperkasten worden gebouwd in moeilijke tijden… Wanneer materialen niet altijd de kwaliteit hebben die ze zouden moeten hebben.

deeproot Pinball: The Biggest Collapse in Modern Pinball | The Lost Pins deeproot Pinball promised to reinvent modern pinball — revolutionary designs, massive funding, and redemption for past failures. Instead, it became one of the most controversial collapses the hobby has ever seen. In this episode of The Lost Pins, we trace the full story behind deeproot Pinball: from the fallout of Zidware and unfinished games like Magic Girl and RAZA, to the SEC’s allegations of a Ponzi-like investment scheme and the eventual criminal indictment that ended it all. This isn’t just a pinball story — it’s a cautionary tale about trust, hype, and what happens when great ideas are buried under bad business. The Lost Pins explores unreleased, canceled, and almost-made pinball machines — and the stories behind why they vanished. deeproot pinball,lost pinball,unreleased pinball,failed pinball companies,pinball documentary,pinball history,raza pinball,magic girl pinball,zidware,john popadiuk,pinball scandal,sec pinball case,rare pinball machines,abandoned pinball,pinball true crime,arcade history,modern pinball,the lost pins,captnretro

EARTH WIND FIRE RETRO A distant cousin to 70s hits like Centigrade or Sheriff, only without much in the way of dynamic scoring. Besides a pair of high-yielding bumpers, the targets are four roll-over targets that have to be hit twice in a single ball to score their maximum value. That’s nothing compared to the … Continue reading "Earth Wind Fire Retro (Zaccaria Table Review)"
