Profile

Ripley's is a classic pinball machine featured across multiple episodes of the hosts' pinball content. The game is notable for its cabinet aesthetics, ball-locking mechanics similar to Shadow, and availability in the Grasley Garage collection. It has also appeared as a Pinball Arcade digital table, where it presents a challenging skill ceiling that frustrated tournament play with its 20-minute format.
