## Transcript

I don't always write about manufacturers' code updates for games here, but I do when they are noteworthy, I'd say that the first of what likely will be many code updates for Pinball Brothers' new Queen pinball machine counts. The game's initial code was supposedly very early, so it's great to see pinball brothers roll out new code.

Pinball Brothers' is shooting to have a second update for Queen's code available by the beginning of February.
