Exploring Stern’s Dungeons & Dragons Pinball Machine
While I was in London, I dropped into Funland—and boom, jackpot! They had Stern’s Dungeons & Dragons: The Tyrant’s Eye (Pro model) up and running. I couldn’t resist giving it a go—and wow, it totally delivered. The shots felt super satisfying, the story sucked me right in, the callouts were brilliant, and the artwork? Absolutely stunning. Multiball was a blast too—having to save the balls adds such a clever twist. Just an all-round amazing package. Honestly… I think I need one 😄
I’ve been intrigued since the very first reveal. The idea of blending real RPG elements into pinball? Genius. I’ve binged all the videos, but nothing beats playing it in person. And that dungeon feature? Absolutely loved it. You drop into secret passageways, tackle different challenges, and uncover surprises—it’s dynamic, so every trip into the dungeon feels fresh. Huge win for replay value.
Still buzzing. Properly impressed! 🎯🔥

John Wick Pinball Pro Version : My First Experience at Funland in London
Whilst in London for the EE event, I managed to spend an hour at Funland and had my first try at the Sterns John Wick pinball Pro Version.
It played okay, but the code seemed really early and just didn’t grab me. I’m not sure why, it just seemed a bit average. Maybe the Premium version will interest me more, but as of now, it’s not on my wish or want list.
The flow was smooth, but there weren’t many shots, and the artwork was impressive. Maybe I just wasn’t that interested in the theme. However, I did really enjoy the first movie.
