News Last Day to Buy Predator Pinball; New Lost in Space Classic Pinball Machine; Details on TNMT Home Pin k knapparcade March 31, 2026 It's the last day of March. That means that it's officially the last day to purchase Pinball Brothers' Predator Pinball machine. After getting off to a slow start sales-wise, to me the game seems to have picked up momentum. Most of the feedback that I've heard about it lately from people who have played it has been positive...other than the glaring lack of Arnold Schwarzenegger. I personally still have not played one. I need to hop on over to Pinball Map and figure out where I can. The people who own the game are going to end up having a seriously rare machine. Speaking of Predator, on Sunday Pinball Brothers announced that they have updated the game's code to Version 1.0. " MISSION COMPLETE: Predator Pinball reaches 1.0 The Final Battle and Wizard Mode have landed just in time for March 31st, completing Predator Pinball once and for all. You can download this relentless and action packed final game code now. This update will turn your Predator Pinball into a weapon. An unbeatable action thirsty muscle charged interstellar war game that takes absolutely NO prisoners. Be proud that you pulled the trigger on this unicorn and enjoy the game that from March 31 (still 48 hrs to act!) will be impossible to buy anywhere in the solar system. First to Wizard Mode and Final Battle wins eternal glory! The mission is complete and it is time for Predator Pinball to leave this galaxy in search of new hunting grounds. This doomed planet has nothing left to give. Thank you for your support and stay strong and vigilant, now and forever!" https://www.pinballbrothers.com/predator-pinball/ Another pinball machine that I don't believe I have mentioned here yet recently launched, "Lost In Space" by the small Australian company Vector Pinball. They created the game in honor of the 60th anniversary of the 1960s television show. The "Retro-Classic" game uses alpha-numeric displays rather than an LCD screen like most new pins these days. Even so, it's not cheap...according to the game's website, the Limited Edition version of the game is priced at $14,900 Australian Dollars, which is equivalent to around $10,212 US Dollars using the current exchange rate. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the iconic sci-fi TV series we have created the “Retro-Classic” Styled LOST IN SPACE Pinball Machine. This fully licensed “Limited Edition” Commercial Grade game is available to purchase now at : www.LostInSpacePinball.com !Advertisement Below are a trailer for the game and a short gameplay video: LOST IN SPACE the Pinball Machine - Code Version 1.0 - YouTube Tap to unmute Vector Pinball - Australian Pinball Manufacturer Vector Pinball - Australian Pinball Manufacturer Lost In Space - Game Play Video #1 - YouTube Tap to unmute Last up, I have an update on Wonderland Amusements' second home pinball machine, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Last week, I shared "leaked" images of the game in an article here. Today I have a great interview with Wonderland's Peter Gould by YouTuber Kongs-R-Us at the recent WonderCon convention. According to the interview, Wonderland will begin taking pre-orders for TMNT in late April. For the first 48 hours the game will be available at a special price of $799. Subsequent prices will be $50 - $100 higher. The company expects to ship the game before the end of 2026. The cabinet at WonderCon had artwork on the outside but no playfield installed. The playfield layout is about 90% finalized but has no artwork on it yet — which is why it wasn't shown. The leaked prototype images that circulated online were based on style guide art, not final artwork. New sponsor slot Your sponsored ad here Be the first to claim this placement. Contact knapparcade@gmail.com today The artist for TMNT is Mateus Santolouco, described as an "OG" IDW TMNT comic book artist. He's doing entirely original artwork for the playfield and may also redo the cabinet exterior art. The cabinet art shown at WonderCon used existing Santolouco artwork from the TMNT style guide/comics, but the final version will likely feature custom pieces designed specifically for the pinball machine. Jerry (Wonderland's pinball designer - the same one who designed Alice) is handling the physical playfield layout, applying lessons learned from Alice. His design process starts with hand sketches, moves to foam core mockups, then 3D modeling and 3D printing for prototyping before building a white wood equivalent. Mechanically, Peter said to expect evolutions of Alice's existing mechs rather than brand-new exotic mechanisms. They've been experimenting with things like a twist-around return, but the core mech package builds on what's already been tooled and tested for Alice. Peter closed the interview noting that Wonderland is a "home arcade company, not just a pinball company," hinting at non-pinball products in the pipeline.
