  • Northern Pinball League at Alans in Leeds

    Had a great day at a Pinball League event over at Alan’s place in Leeds with Luke, Andy B, and Matt B. Always a good vibe there—and this one was no different. Relaxed atmosphere, great people, and as always, Alan and Claire were fantastic hosts. The food was spot on, and the whole day had…

  • Medusa Joins the Lineup

    I’ve been on the lookout for a classic ’80s machine to add some variety to my collection—and after bouncing between a few titles, Medusa came up for sale at a good price, I didn’t hesitate.

  • Upgraded Godzilla Pinball with a Sculpted Bridge

    Finally got around to upgrading the bridge on Godzilla! I installed the sculpted bridge mod by Art of Pinball, and I’ve got to say—it looks fantastic.

So when a Twilight Zone popped up on the forum, I didn’t hesitate—it had to be mine. And now,…

    I just managed to get “The Getaway: High Speed 2”. Ever since playing it at Pinfest24, I have been thinking about getting one. It’s such a fun game, and I enjoyed the game flow. It has some solid shots, and the “SUPERCHARGER” mode is fantastic. A small elevated loop, fed by the left ramp and…

  • Discovering Classic and Modern Pinball Machines in Orlando

    While in Orlando on a family holiday, I took a few hours away from the theme parks to visit ‘The Pinball Palace at Dezerland Park’ with Luke. I shot a few videos of the machines.
