The single most important thing about Pintastic NE are of course the pinball machines that people bring for others to play. The various pinball clubs (There were 4 at the convention) all brought their own machines for their club rooms. The extra ball lounge consists of games brought by Gabe D’Annunzio (whose interview will be the final Pintastic blog post I make in this series) and I’ve already talked about Tycoon Pinball out of NH and the games they brought.
But when it comes down to sheer volume of games EMP Pinball (Electromagnetic Pinball Museum) annually knocks it out of the park
You really need to go to Pawtucket and check them out: I never got a chance to talk to Michael & Emily this year as they were even more flat out than normal but as I mentioned in this video there are plenty of such interviews by me over the last decade that you can find. (Here is one from Pintastic 2021)
But one thing that you don’t see as much from EMP are the brand new games and that’s where the vendors who sell those new games come in. I talked to Matt one of those vendors. He just purchased Pixels and Pinball who had a bunch of new machines:
You can find Pixels and Pinball’s web site here.
