Labyrinth Pinball v2026.01.30 Gameplay Stream | Barrels of Fun | New Audio Package!
TL;DR
Labyrinth v2026.01.30 gameplay stream highlights new audio package and bug fixes.
Full Twitch gameplay stream of Labyrinth v2026.01.30 by Barrels of Fun with the new audio package by Jeff Dodson of Dirty Pool Pinball and other tweaks and additions, plus SHAKER SUPPORT! Jump to 01:37:33 for the best game of the stream. Version: 2026.01.30 The big news with this update is a full Audio rework from Jeff Dodson. Due to this work, all Audio settings are now in the Audio section (some moved from the Standard section) and audio has its own entry in the reset utility. NEW/UPDATED: ALL of the game audio was refreshed by Jeff. UPDATED: ALL audio settings are forced to new defaults because of the changes to the audio files. ADDED: Knocker should fire in "The Knockers" when you Knock. If you have one. ADDED: Preliminary support for add-on shaker is in the code now. ADDED: New lightshows for Mystery targets/Mystery Lit and BK Ball locks. FIXED: LED control updated to match other games; shouldn't get "stuck" now. FIXED: Core changes to fix the 'lock up in the bonus' if you reset much. FIXED: "hold to scroll" in high score entry shouldn't glitch anymore. FIXED: The Bog info sign was incorrect on the last 2 shots. FIXED: The Bog didn't catch the ball on a final right orbit shot. FIXED: Due to a naming mistake, the replay auto-adjust never actually got processed. UPDATED: Barrel Ball has the same updates that DUNE got. CHANGED: First ball launch is slightly delayed, for dramatic effect. CHANGED: If tournament is enabled, mystery award toggles between points and bonus x

THE END OF EM ~ WHEN PINBALL BEGAN TO THINK
When Pinballs Began to Think – The Birth of Solid State Pinball (CaptNRetro Documentary Series – Episode 0) Pinball didn’t evolve into solid state — it was forced there. In this pilot episode of When Pinballs Began to Think, we trace the messy, uncomfortable transition from electromechanical pinball to early solid-state designs in the mid-to-late 1970s — and why that awkward era quietly saved the industry. Why operators, not players, pushed pinball toward solid state How Bally tested the waters with true EM/SS bridge games Why Evel Knievel (1977) became the moment solid state earned real trust How Gottlieb resisted change and paid for it Why Williams waited in the shadows before eventually dominating And why Playboy (1978) marked the point of no return Most importantly, we explain why early solid-state games — especially Bally machines — are still some of the best pinball machines ever made to learn repair, restoration, and real-world servicing on. Simple rules. Honest layouts. Clear cause and effect. If you can understand these games, you can fix almost anything. This is the first episode in a long-form documentary series diving deep into pinball history — told from the perspective of someone who actually works on these machines.

Why Star Trek The Next Generation Is One of the Greatest Pinball Machines Ever
TL;DR
Gonzo celebrates Star Trek: TNG as a masterpiece pinball machine while saying goodbye to his copy.
In this video, Gonzo says goodbye to one of his all-time favourite pinball machines – Star Trek: The Next Generation. Designed by Steve Ritchie and built by Williams in the 1990s, this widebody classic is renowned for its incredible flow, deep rule set, fast ramps and unforgettable callouts from the original Star Trek cast. It’s a machine that perfectly blends theme, gameplay and atmosphere, and for many pinball fans it represents the golden era of pinball design. We take a close look at a pristine example of the game, explore what makes it so special, and explain why it continues to be regarded as one of the best pinball machines ever made. There’s also plenty of gameplay footage, showing just how well this machine still holds up today. If you love classic pinball, 1990s Williams machines, or Star Trek, this one’s for you.
