King Kong Pinball: Stern’s Latest Trademark Hint

Posted by by

King Kong Pinball – is Stern about to go ape?

As reported in our December Rumour Mill blog post, rumours surrounding a potential King Kong themed machine have been circulating for months. However, speculation has now intensified following Stern Pinball’s recent trademark filings for both “King Kong” and “Myth of Terror Island,” suggesting a new pinball machine centred on the iconic giant ape is well and truly in the pipeline.

King Kong Pinball: Community Speculation

The internet has been abuzz with discussions about the potential new King Kong pinball machine. Enthusiasts have noted that renowned designer Keith Elwin is rumoured to be leading this project, further heightening expectation. Forums such as Pinside, has seen users expressing excitement about the theme and its possibilities. One user commented on the potential for integrating Kong with existing titles, stating, “But if they really do have the license for King Kong, why not create a link between King Kong and Godzilla, sorta like Williams did with NBA Fastbreak?” ​So maybe Stern could be considering a stand-alone machine followed by a Kong versus Godzilla That could be quite something!

Stern Pinball Godzilla

Stern Pinball has an established history of drawing inspiration from legendary monster franchises. In July 2024 the company honoured the 70th anniversary of Godzilla with a special edition pinball machine, showcasing its dedication to cinematic icons, making it entirely plausible that a Kong-themed machine could be next.

Data East

This isn’t the first time a King Kong pinball machine has been considered. In the early 1990s, Data East developed a King Kong machine that never reached mass production. However Stern Pinball’s current trademark filings might well indicate a renewed effort to bring this classic theme to life. And given Stern’s success with their critically acclaimed Godzilla pinball machine, introducing Kong could build very nicely on this success ​

King Kong Pinball Machine in 2025?

The King Kong franchise offers rich material for creative game design, including iconic scenes and battles that could be translated into engaging and immersive non-stop action.​ So, will we see a Stern pinball launch in 2025? Hear it here first…

Motorhead Pinball Machine – The Pinball Rumour Mill

Motorhead Pinball Machine – The Pinball Rumour Mill
Motorhead pinball machine rumours began in early 2024 with the debut of a Motorhead homebrew pinball machine created by New Zealand pinball enthusiast David “rotordave” Peck. This custom-built game, themed after the legendary rock band, was showcased at the Texas Pinball Festival 2024 on the Spooky Pinball booth. It featured a fast, single-level playfield, inspired by the classic Bally Centaur layout – very fitting for Motorhead’s hard-driving music, and even an animated “War Pig” Motorhead mascot topper​. It also reportedly showed live concert footage of Motorhead on the LCD screen during gameplay.

Spooky Pinball’s Matt Kemp

Pinball News reported that the homebrew machine immediately grabbed the attention for its high-quality art, fast gameplay and authentic Motorhead integration. Furthermore, according to Nudge Pinball it was programmed with help from Matt Kemp, a coder from Spooky Pinball’s team, with artwork directed by the excellent Brad Albright. This only served to fuel the rumour mill further, with speculation rising that Spooky might eventually manufacture a production run of this homebrew Motorhead pinball.

Licensing Issues & Potential Roadblocks

A Motorhead-themed pinball machine could however face a number of licensing hurdles, including costly music rights and permissions for the band’s logos, mascot, and Lemmy’s likeness. Any official machine would need a deal for branding rights, though fans speculate Lemmy’s love for coin-op games could help negotiations. There’s also the question of licensing exclusivity. Rumours have floated for a while that Stern Pinball might have previously secured rights to Motorhead or at least inquired about them​. So, did Stern ever agree a Motorhead licencing deal? And if so, has it now elapsed, or are Spooky simply waiting their turn?

Motorhead – Overkill (Official Video)

Motorhead’s 50th Anniversary

2025 marks Motorhead’s 50th anniversary, so a Motorhead pinball release could be perfect timing. But Spooky’s schedule is full, with Scooby-Doo and Evil Dead already in production.

“No Spooky Motorhead in 2025”

Spooky Pinball has good experience with music-themed machines, including Rob Zombie’s Spookshow International (2016) and Alice Cooper’s Nightmare Castle (2018). Both sold well in limited runs, proving Spooky can handle music licensing and artist collaborations. And while there have been no official announcements from Spooky confirming or denying the likelihood of a Motorhead pinball machine, a significant recent development was a statement from Spooky’s Luke Szmal who publicly commented, “Fun rumour but no Spooky Motorhead in 2025.”

Motorhead Pinball Machine – Just Overkill?

So, does that mean we will see a Spooky Motorhead pinball machine in 2026, or are such rumours just overkill? Hear it here first on the Pinball Heaven Pinball Rumour Mill.

Beetlejuice Pinball Machine – The Pinball Rumour Mill

Beetlejuice Pinball Machine – The Pinball Rumour Mill

As far back as 2019 we reported rumours of a Beetlejuice pinball machine. This followed Christopher Franchi’s reveal on Slap Save Pinball Podcast 24 where he mentioned he had been contracted by a “boutique” company to design artwork for both a Beetlejuice and Superman ’78 pinball machine, with view to them being presented to Stern as part of a proposal for new games. However, the proposals didn’t hit the mark with Stern’s production teams, so unfortunately according to Franchi, they “… will not end up on pinball machines ever, probably!”

Spooky’s next game

Well, six years on and Beetlejuice rumours are circulating once again with among others, Knapp Arcade suggesting that with Christopher Franchi now working exclusively with Spooky Pinball, Beetlejuice could well be in Spooky’s future lineup.

Beetlejuice (1988)

Beetlejuice (1988) is a dark comedy directed by Tim Burton. It follows a recently deceased couple, Adam and Barbara Maitland, who haunt their former home. When an eccentric new family moves in, they seek help from the mischievous bio-exorcist Beetlejuice to scare them away. Chaos ensues as Beetlejuice’s antics spiral out of control. Featuring Michael Keaton’s iconic performance, alongside Winona Ryder, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis and Glenn Shadix, while the film blends gothic aesthetics, stop-motion effects and humour, becoming a cult classic.

Beetlejuice 4K Trailer - Warner Bros. Entertainment

A chaotic, eerie, and highly interactive experience

A Beetlejuice pinball machine from Spooky Pinball would be a chaotic, eerie, and highly interactive experience, staying true to the 1988 film’s offbeat energy. Franchi’s artwork would showcase the film’s vibrant, macabre aesthetic, with hand-drawn depictions of the Maitlands, Lydia, and Beetlejuice himself.

The playfield could include a spinning sandworm ramp that eats the ball, a moving Beetlejuice head that taunts players, and a Netherworld portal scoop that launches balls into the hidden upper playfield of the bureaucratic afterlife office. The game could also feature a pop-up grave mechanism where Beetlejuice rises from his tomb, perhaps a “Day-O” bash toy that triggers a calypso mode, and a multiball start requiring players to hit targets three times!

Beetlejuice pinball soundtrack

The Beetlejuice pinball machine soundtrack would have to feature Danny Elfman’s iconic, spooky-yet-playful score, with intense orchestral swells for high-stakes moments. The “Day-O” Banana Boat Song would kick in during a bash toy mode, and “Jump in the Line” by Harry Belafonte might serve as an end-of-game celebration tune. And irreverent voice callouts from Michael Keaton would add humour and chaos to gameplay. Imagine hitting a jackpot and hearing “It’s showtime!”, Or triggering multiball with a gleeful “Let’s turn on the juice and see what shakes loose!” Winona Ryder could also deliver her classic “I myself am strange and unusual”, while Glenn Shadix could chime in with his typically snobbish remarks during bonus modes.

Spooky Beetlejuice pinball machine – when will be see it?

So, will we see a Spooky Beetlejuice pinball machine anytime soon, or will we have to wait a while and mention his name for a third time? Either way, it’s not difficult to imagine a boutique, Spooky Beetlejuice pinball machine setting the standard for the rest of the year. So, let’s hope it appears sooner rather than later.

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 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!

Alices Adventures in Wonderland

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.
