King Kong Pinball Machine – the Pinball Rumour Mill

Rumours abound about a possible Stern King Kong Pinball Machine and after all, it would be the perfect follow up to Stern’s innovative Godzilla. However, Data East’s attempt at producing a Kong pinball in 1990 proved to be something more than challenging.

Data East King Kong Pinball Machine

The Data East King Kong pinball machine is a fascinating rarity in the world of pinball, created in 1990 but never reaching mass production. Designed by Jerry Armstrong around the legendary movie monster, it promised an immersive experience featuring Kong’s epic adventures. Its detailed artwork by Kevin O’Connor and captivating sound design by Brian Schmidt brought the jungle and cityscapes to life, immersing players in the beast’s world.

The machine’s gameplay included thrilling features such as ramps, drop targets, pop bumpers, and multiball modes. A striking mechanical King Kong toy on the playfield added a unique interactive element, making the game both visually impressive and engaging. However, licensing complications halted production after only a few prototypes were made. This makes the machine extraordinarily rare and highly coveted among collectors, symbolising a piece of pinball history that combines bold design with untapped potential. So, if Stern Pinball were to look to produce King Kong pinball 35 years on, how could they make it happen and how would it look?P

Data East King Kong Overview & Game Play

Universal Pictures and King Kong

Universal Pictures has released several King Kong films and is one of the key rights holders to the franchise. Films they have been involved with include: King Kong (1976), King Kong Lives (1986) and King Kong (2005). With Stern having previously licenced titles such as Jurassic Park and The Munsters from Universal Pictures, surely this must pave the way for a 35th anniversary launch of a new Stern produced Kong pinball machine.

King Kong pinball machine by Stern?

A King Kong pinball machine by Stern would combine an immersive cinematic spectacle with innovative gameplay. The playfield could feature a towering, motorised King Kong toy gripping a skyscraper, swiping at planes, with multi-level ramps mimicking his climb to the top of the Empire State Building, while a subway loop shot simulates urban chaos. A jungle-themed lower playfield with custom pop bumpers could represent Skull Island, transitioning to a brightly lit cityscape as Kong is transported to New York. High-resolution displays would show iconic King Kong movie clips, with custom modes such as Skull Island Adventure or Empire State Multiball challenging players’ skill.  Advanced LED lighting effects, synced with roaring sound effects and original film audio would further immerse players, while Stern’s Insider Connected would track players’ achievements, creating an engaging and immersive world.

So, would we like to see a Stern King Kong pinball machine? Yes, we would. But will we see it? Only time will tell. Watch this space…

Dungeons & Dragons Pinball Machine – the Pinball Rumour Mill

Dungeons & Dragons Pinball Machine – the Pinball Rumour Mill

Dungeons & Dragons created in 1974 by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, is the original tabletop role playing game. Set in a fantasy world of magic and mythical creatures, players create characters and embark on adventures led by a Dungeon Master. Known for its deep rules and emphasis on creativity, teamwork, and storytelling, Dungeons & Dragons has shaped gaming, literature, and pop culture.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year it is rumoured that Stern Pinball is shortly to announce a Dungeons & Dragons 50th anniversary pinball machine. And it’s meant to be coming soon…

Dungeons & Dragons Pinball Teaser Artwork

As far back as March 2014 Stern featured Dungeons & Dragons teaser artwork on their Facebook page, rumoured to have created by Donny Gillies. However, ten years on both Knapp Arcade and Old School Gamer Magazine suggest that Stern’s forthcoming release has been designed by Brian Eddy, who has contributed to such pinball titles as: Attack from Mars, Medieval Madness, Theatre of Magic, Star Trek and Elvira’s House of Horrors.

Having worked with Williams/Bally in the 1990s during their pinball golden age and known for his ability to blend engaging gameplay, humour, and highly creative visuals, a Brian Eddy / Stern Pinball D&D could just be the pinball machine of the year.

Dungeons & Dragons Pinball Machine - Pinball Rumour Mill

Wizard, Warrior, and Thief

Stern Pinball Dungeons & Dragons is expected to feature a variety of elements drawn directly from the D&D universe encountering famous heroes like the Wizard, Warrior, and Thief, alongside classic monsters such as the Beholder, Mind Flayer, and Tiamat the Dragon Queen.

Players might find themselves navigating quests, dodging traps, and battling fearsome creatures, with the multiball modes and ramp shots serving as metaphorical challenges in these adventurous pursuits. Interactive components like custom-designed ramps, spinning discs, and possibly an intricate “dungeon” mechanism, are speculated to create a dynamic and immersive player experience.

This release is highly anticipated in the pinball community and will likely see strong demand upon release due to its crossover appeal with both pinball enthusiasts and traditional Dungeons & Dragons fans.

Dungeons & Dragons Pinball Machine – Don’t Blink!

We are fully expecting to hear a Dungeons & Dragons pinball announcement before the end of year, which gives us just another couple of weeks. So don’t blink or you might miss it!

David Thiel forcefully pulls the player into this world utilizing over 250 iconic lines from Pulp Fiction’s legendary cast, five licensed songs from the original movie soundtrack, and a number of original compositions. Josh Sharpe developed an approachable rule set that is both intuitive and deep enough to engage even the most skilled player.

Alices Adventures in Wonderland

Posted by by

Alices Adventures in Wonderland

Alices Adventures in Wonderland (also known as Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 English novel by Lewis Carroll.

The story centres on Alice, a girl who falls asleep in a meadow and dreams that she follows the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole. She has many wondrous, often bizarre adventures with thoroughly illogical and very strange creatures. She encounters the hookah-smoking Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat, and she attends a strange endless tea party with the Mad Hatter and many others.

Just like the black and white book from Lewis Carrol lead designer Melvin Williams took John Popadiuk jr (aka JPOP) black and white concept game and created a new chapter in the pinball history. The game went from a few pieces of paper to a true masterpiece in full color with 2024 state of the art technology. Melvin not only wanted to create the best 90s feel pinball machine but also create something that is a work of art, just like a beautiful painting for your home. Every time you look at something, you experience new thoughts and emotions.

The art and design are particularly striking, with fully 3D-sculpted, hand-painted art plastics by Lior, under the artistic direction of Melvin Williams—an industry first. Additionally, a 3D-sculpted mini IPS LCD display on the playfield provides extra instructions, and the design is complemented by a 3D-sculpted shooter handle and animated topper.

We are sad to announce that with immediate effect Pinball Heaven has resigned as American Pinball Distributors for the UK.

Pinball Heaven has promoted the American Pinball brand for many years, buying and stocking many of their games, often despite low demand and sales. We continued to actively promote American Pinball, just last month sending many of their games to UK PinFest. However, and without notice, we subsequently discovered that American Pinball has added another UK Distributor to the tiny UK market. This unfortunately doesn’t work for us and makes actively promoting American Pinball in the UK unworkable.

For the past 30 years Pinball Heaven has prided itself on delivering top quality service and support to all its customers. To enable us to achieve this level of service, we in turn require support from our suppliers. Without this manufacturer support, the end user inevitably suffers. Given the recent change in distribution policy by American Pinball, we now therefore consider it no longer viable for Pinball Heaven to promote and distribute American Pinball products.

Moving forward Pinball Heaven will no longer be working with, promoting, or distributing American Pinball and will instead concentrate on further developing the excellent relationships we have with our existing portfolio of pinball machine and pinball accessory distributorships.
