Last week I wrote here about how Melvin Williams of Dutch Pinball Exclusives has teamed up with Lior from The Art of Pinball. This morning they announced a new agreement with Planetary Pinball, the licensor for Bally / Williams games to produce mods and parts for classic and new games. Some of the parts that The Art of Pinball is creating under this new agreement will include LOLLY boards from Dave’s Price’s Stumblor Pinball. These new products will be sold through the distributor Cointaker and Planetary Pinball. The Art of Pinball is going to announce additional new partnerships in the coming months.

Pinball Brothers just shared another teaser for its upcoming Predator pinball machine. This time it shows off a mech that looks like the iconic huge M134 Minigun machine gun nicknamed “Ol’ Painless” that belongs to Sergeant Blain Cooper aka Jesse Ventura in the film.
At this rate, we are going to have seen the entire game before the official reveal 😂.

Game of the Day
1991 Namco Starblade 3D sit-down first-person rail-shooter arcade game.
Starblade is the successor to Namco’s giant Galaxian 3: Project Dragoon. The game uses a concave mirror, which Namco called “Infinite Distance Projection” to give the visual effect of depth and a more open game environment.
As seen in a private collection.
