arcade staff was fixing up Guitar Hero Arcade, and in the switch test, there's an odd sight: a phone keypad, something that this game never uses.
which got me wondering - did Raw Thrills plan to include a PIN system for players to save high scores, as they had with some of their other arcade games?

the little pictograms in the copy for Sportsman Roll are amazing (it's certainly selling me on that gator trapdoor feature)

#pinball improving my score game-to-game on King Kong has resulted in me seeing this animation a lot over the last couple of weeks. quite the reward
(pretty sure that voice is one of the human characters')

KING KONG: MYTH OF TERROR ISLAND (Stern Pinball, 2025) - fantastic four-flipper game! love the U-turn & ramp that allows for volleying balls between both upper flippers.
the "Deadeye" mode was a ton of fun: get plunger auto-fire 30 seconds, but flippers are turned off - go for plunger skill shots!

Paul Faris drew a short comic as part of the promotional material for the pinball table!
An alien ruler directs her soldiers to invade Earth, and a boy watches inside an empty arcade as aliens escape a Space Invaders video game, transforming into the pinball table

#pinball showcase: 007 60th ANNIVERSARY EDITION (Stern, 2023) - a limited-edition game designed by a top pinball player, featuring no less than five spinning targets. getting all of the spinners to turn in one combo is incredibly satisfying (and gives extra points each time!)

#pinball showcase: LETHAL WEAPON 3 (Data East, 1992) - a significant amount of this playfield (and ruleset!) focuses on the fact that this is, in fact, the -*third* in a series of buddy-cop movies. get the Super Joe Pesci Mystery (not really called that) for Super Duper Pops (actually called that)

this particular "snubber" on my local EJ (the JJP manual calls 'em that) takes the brunt of a lot of full-power shots, and it's showing. even broke a bit of the plastic above it

- print clubs are everywhere; make your location stand out with a steel desk for people to cut out their stickers
- cabs for digital pachinko games which let players try the slots directly
- SNK's phone booth that dispenses keychains which replay custom voice-recordings

big upscore on John Wick today, from 220M to 374M!
made tons of ramp shots during a Gather Intel round for ~70M, played some good Excommunicado & Deconsecrated multiballs for ~50M each, and finished the Kirill fight for ~55M
also, getting better at rescuing the ball from doom beneath the crate

this game also had a unique "Skill Level" system: players can pick from 3 levels before launching the first ball. higher levels multiply all scoring, while also making it harder to score higher-value targets or activate the ball-saver gates in the outlanes. are the extra Millions worth the risk?
