After the recent flurry of new game announcements, Martin from Pinball News and Jonathan from Pinball Magazine begin this month\u2019s Pinball Industry News PINcast<\/em> with two re-releases of existing titles.<\/p>\n\n\n

Stern Pinball have gone back to revisit their Jaws<\/em> and Star Wars<\/em> games.  In the case of Jaws<\/em> it\u2019s a blood-red treatment for a new 50th<\/sup> Anniversary Edition of the Premium model, while their Star Wars Home Edition<\/em> gets a \u2018Plus\u2019 upgrade and a price cut as it goes on sale in selected Costco stores in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As last month, the third new game announcement is for Multimorphic\u2019s P3<\/sup> pinball platform.  Row Mania<\/em>, from Neil Wilson, uses the Drained<\/em> playfield module in an EM-inspired mini game which is available to download right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also working on their next title was game designer, Jack Danger.  However, he\u2019s stepped back from that project to become Stern\u2019s new Head of Community, in which role he will create multi-platform promotional material, act as Stern\u2019s brand ambassador and return to game streaming both for Stern and under his own Dead Flip channel brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the success of their Evil Dead<\/em> title, Spooky Pinball are now looking to hire a new software developer.  There\u2019s also production updates and news of when we might expect their next game to be announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another pinball manufacturer working on a new title is Hexa Pinball in France.  They\u2019ve got their team back together to build the first prototype of the follow-up to Space Hunt<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barrels of Fun are planning a rerun of their own.  This time though it\u2019s a repeat of the factory tour they held at the Houston Arcade Expo last year.  Visitors to this year\u2019s show get the opportunity to take the tour and see how they build the Dune<\/em> game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The topper for Dutch Pinball Exclusive\u2019s Alice\u2019s Adventures in Wonderland<\/em> was already pretty impressive, but now game owners can enhance it further with a new topper expansion kit from The Electric Playground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, there\u2019s news about the \u2018other\u2019 Alice in Wonderland game, this time from Wonderland Amusements who have been showing off their new production-quality moulded playfield components. They have big plans for Pinball Expo in October and even hope to be shipping games by then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it\u2019s a relatively quiet month, there\u2019s still plenty more industry news to report, along with details of the new features added with the latest code updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
