John Borg shares how he left a secure job to design pinball, starting with Star Wars in 1991.
Untold Pinball Stories – Episode: John Borg 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 John Borg from @sternpinballinc designer of iconic machines including Star Wars, for a fast, honest, five-minute story. Timed with a real kitchen timer. No script. No second takes. Just one story. John shares how he once made a decision that didn’t make sense on paper… Taking a job that paid less, but promised something more important. He talks about choosing creativity over certainty. And how that decision led him from simply loving games… to designing Star Wars pinball machines himself. From playing the worlds he admired… To helping create them. A story about risk. About passion. And about trusting the path that feels right. 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: John Borg 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 John Borg van @sternpinballinc ontwerper van iconische flipperkasten waaronder Star Wars, voor een eerlijk verhaal van vijf minuten. Getimed met een echte kookwekker. Geen script. Geen herkansingen. Gewoon één verhaal. John vertelt hoe hij ooit een keuze maakte die op papier niet logisch leek… Hij nam een baan die minder betaalde, maar iets belangrijkers beloofde. Hij vertelt over het kiezen voor creativiteit in plaats van zekerheid. En hoe die beslissing hem bracht van het spelen van games… naar het ontwerpen van Star Wars flipperkasten zelf. Van het bewonderen van die werelden… Tot het helpen creëren ervan. Een verhaal over risico nemen. Over passie.

So I finished unboxing and built my Wonderland Amusements Alice Goes to Wonderland Pinball and found a MAJOR issue. Hopefully the team at Wonderland is already aware and have a solution for my pinball and any others that may be experiencing this issue too. If you built your already, please chime in to let me know if you're experiencing any issues! Music: @Vector_U @WhiteBatAudio Karl Casey
LIVE Unboxing of Wonderland Amusements - Alice Goes to Wonderland Pinball The wait is over. The "Bold Guarantee" has reached its deadline. Back in March 2025, Wonderland Amusements made a promise that shook the arcade community: “Deliver in 12 months, or your money back.” Today is March 2, 2026, and the boxes are officially landing on porches. Join Detroit Love and Kongs-R-Us for a massive 2-hour live event as Kongs R Us unbox, assemble, and put the first mechanical "home-scale" pinball machine through its paces. We’re going deep into the guts of this machine to see if it’s the "Arcade1Up of Pinball" or just a high-end toy. The Logistical Win: Wonderland’s partnership with Spreetail and why your machine is coming in two separate boxes. The Build: Real steel, real solenoids, and 3/4" plywood—is it built to last? Modder’s Corner: We discuss the 2D vs. 3D Sculpted Upgrades (Cheshire Cat & Queen of Hearts). The "eBay Truth-Bomb": We discuss that $999 "Free Shipping" listing leak and how the community forced Wonderland to protect the backers. First Flip: We test the 8 Tasks and see if the production code fixed the issues Kongs saw at LA Comic-Con 2025. 👉 Kongs-R-Us: / @KongsRUs 👉 Detroit Love: / @DetroitLove

There might only have been 28 days in February, but those four weeks were packed full of exciting news from the pinball world, as you can discover by joining Jonathan from Pinball Magazine and Martin from Pinball News with the latest edition of their Pinball Industry News PINcast. After weeks of delays, Stern Pinball got to launch their new Pokémon game. Based on the hugely popular global franchise spanning console games, mobile games, comics, movies, animated TV series, trading cards and much more, this latest Stern ‘cornerstone’ game comes in the familiar three models but includes many unusual features in the artwork, on the playfield and in the software. Meanwhile, there were big changes over at Dutch Pinball Exclusive (DPX) as co-founder of the brand and owner of the game designs, Melvin Brouwer-Williams, splits with manufacturing partner Dutch Pinball. The remaining Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland games will still be built, but Alice will be the one-and-only DPX title, while there are further delays announced for the game’s topper. It wasn’t long before Melvin was back in the spotlight when he was introduced as the new Creative Director at American Pinball, responsible for the development of the rebooted company’s upcoming titles. To find out much more about the split with Dutch Pinball and his new role at American Pinball, Martin talked with Melvin to get the inside details of what really happened, the big plans for the new American Pinball, and to also find out what this means for the Retro Atomic Zombie Adventureland and Cuphead games. Over in Italy, the head of Pedretti Gaming gives an interview to a local news site where he talks about the collaboration with Pinball Brothers, where their co-produced games end up, and how they need to transition to appeal to the next generation of players.

In this episode, we dive into the chaos surrounding the Pokémon LE launch and the frenzy that followed. Is there really a crossover happening between hardcore Pokémon fans and new pinball players, or is that narrative overblown? We break down what we’re seeing, what it could mean for the hobby, and whether this moment is bigger than just one title. And… we think we might have a pretty good idea what American Pinball’s next game could be. 👀 Let’s get into it. 🕹️ LOOKING TO BUY A PINBALL MACHINE?
