Pump It Up R!SE - Giselle (HD13)
Dialed down slightly from full doubles, in favor of ease of use with the keyboard. I'd play this a bit more often in the arcade, but unfortunately, Premium mode is in the way. Here's hoping Phoenix 2 will change this. This is another game series I enjoyed playing growing up, now on Steam (albeit online only for now). Due to the differences between this and arcade variants, a new playlist will contain content only for R!SE.
Pinball Magazine & Pinball News PINcast April 2026 recap
After all the excitement of new game launches last month, things were a little more sedate in April. So, join Jonathan and Martin as they take a gentle stroll through the events from the pinball world in the latest Pinball Industry News PINcast. It’s been thirteen years since music and sound maestro Chris Granner created an audio package for a new pinball, but now he’s back to work on Turner Pinball’s latest Yukon Yeti game alongside Adam Grubman. Although not an entirely new game, Cardona Pinball have released their 2.0 upgrade kit for the classic Fish Tales machine. Ultimate Fishing Challenge adds new rules, backbox and playfield LCD panels, new sounds, new displays and new translite art. Stern Pinball’s latest sponsorship is no joke. In fact it’s a whole weekend of them, as the company sends a team to Florida’s Key West for the Q-West2 comedy festival where they are a ‘lifestyle sponsor’. A local bar was populated with Stern’s latest games and high score tournaments held on Insider Connected along with a unique achievement badge for players. While it never made it to the Texas Pinball Festival, Hexa Pinball have been touring their new The Three Musketeers around European shows as well as in the US. Find out where you can catch it next. Jersey Jack Pinball have teamed up with the Broadway staging of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child where movie actor Tom Felton is reprising his role of Draco Malfoy. There’s a special Harry Potter game backstage for the cast to play, as Felton discovers in a new promo video. The Jersey Jack team have also been giving details of their upcoming games in a panel seminar at the Pintastic New England show. Find out what Steve Ritchie and Mark Seiden revealed. There are also details of Wonderland Amusement’s second title, a software update to their first, and your opportunity to grab a custom Monster League Hockey player jersey.

Pinball Regrets & Dollar Bets
PRP Website - What are our biggest pinball regrets, and how much money would Mike bet on a rumored Fallout pinball machine? Apparently, exactly one dollar. Why we think a rumored Stern Fallout pinball machine would probably be based on the games instead of the TV show The James Bond Pro trade that turned into a long, painful pinball regret Why play counts on modern used pinball machines probably matter less than people think In this episode of the Punk Rock Pinball Podcast, we talk about pinball regrets, questionable trades, used pinball machine play counts, Fallout pinball rumors, and a very serious one-dollar bet. We also recap a Smoking Popes show at the Tivoli, new Punk Rock Pinball tournament locations, a ladies Bells and Chimes event in Champaign, and why getting rid of a great James Bond Pro still hurts a little.

TL;DRDark Chaos homebrew machine showcased pre-Golden State Pinball Festival appearance.
Dark Chaos is an original homebrew design by Dan Massie, a.k.a. Apophis who is also a member of the Virtual Pinball Workshop. The game is incredible, combining an intense game loop with managable rules and terrific sound. This game will be featured in its physical form at the Golden State Pinball Festival 2026 in the homebrew section. I want to get good at the virtual version so I can compare with my actual play on the physical machine so this is my practice session. Not bad for a human!
