I have a short update on the rumor that Pedretti Gaming's Big Bang Bar Remake. I had a conversation with Andrea Pedretti late last week that I never got to share because I was busy with family stuff. He informed me that Pedretti Gaming is NOT going to have an official presence at the upcoming Chicago Pinball Expo. There had been rumors that the company would reveal its Big Bang Bar remake at the show. I shared that rumor myself earlier. Apparently, that's not going to happen. It is difficult for me to say whether the game was originally supposed to be at the event and something changed or if it never was. He also informed me that, Dutch Pinball Exclusive's Melvin Williams is not involved in the creation of the new Big Bang Bar.Speaking of Dutch Pinball Exclusive, the company has a batch of 30 Alice's Adventures in Wonderlands ready to ship to the United States. The elusive official topper for the game will be part of the shipment, but it has not yet been determined how many of them. Dutch Pinball is aware that production of the game is taking longer than it had anticipated and they have hired additional people to assemble games. DPX also recently launched new code for the game, Version 099-5-D. I recently had an opportunity to play and photograph the game Cointaker's Pennsylvania warehouse. Below are a bunch of pictures that I took to share:
Chicago Gaming Company announced earlier today that they have shipped their 100th Medieval Madness Merlin Edition game last week. This week CGC will ship more Cactus Canyon Upgrade Kits as well.
Stern Pinball's newest cornerstone game, Star Wars: Fall of the Empire, made its first public appearance at last weekend's Rocky Mountain Pinball Showdown. Stern had cameras at the event to capture all the fun.
