UKPINFEST 2025 MACHINE DONATION THREAD
- Thread starter Big Phil
- Start date
The call outs in Barrel Ball are excellent. Makes it an entertaining game.... even if you're just playing it on your own. I find myself turning on Labyrinth and switching to Barrel Ball just as a bit of a challenge to see what the longest streak is that I can get. Theres lots of callouts included from other games that the guy did voice overs for like Scared Stiff, Roadshow, NBA etc. Hopefully David can turn up the volume during the Barrel Ball comp at Pinfest so everyone can hear the call outs.Stallball...
I don't want to cause any issues (it seems even innocuous comments can open cans of worms these days, sadly), and the following is purely my observation/feedback having just got back from the EPC in Austria, so thought I'd share my thoughts on it.
They held a fun stallball type event there on Labyrinth by Barrels of Fun, called BarrelBall.
There was a code version used, which is specifically set up for stallball, and it worked really well.
Basically a bunch of shots were highlighted in white, with one shot lit red. If you hit the red shot, or drained, the video screen lit up red with "Eliminated", and if you hit a white shot, the screen went blue indicating a successful shot. It was therefore really clear when you were out, or when you'd been successful and rejoined the end of the queue.
I've nothing against Twilight Zone, which I understand is the proposed machine for the stallball comp, and certainly don't want to kick off any controversy, but thought I'd just post the above as a positive contribution in case people weren't aware of this option on Labyrinth. I don't even know if there will be a Labyrinth at Pinfest, and stallball is always a fun part of Pinfest, regardless of what machine it is played on.
Cheers,
Conrad.
P.S. The EPC was absolutely brilliant, held in a massive venue (normally an ice-rink) in the small town of Vocklabruck, with loads of competition, 70 or so free-play machines including many unusual ones, and new machines including 3 x King Kong, Dune, Alice in Wonderland etc, good catering/beers, and even in the competitions, a really friendly atmosphere. Stefan Riedler and his team did an awesome job organising and running it.

Popped over to see Marc Gatward briefly this evening (31C in his pin bar 
) and we will definitely bring at least one game per person from Royston.
Me probably Dirty Harry or JackBot depending on what the other TBAs come in as. And Marc probably Flash. If he ends up traveling separately we may be able to bring up to 4 between us, but want to commit to at least 2.

You can Have JackBot for it as I mentioned above (only if you want it of course - was in main last year). It's at the pinball office at the moment, but I'm gonna pull it out of there for pinfest if it's ok to arrive Friday
Thank you Nick - that’s brilliant
Hi! Does anyone know what machines will be used for the League Finals?
Very excited to see what pinfest looks as I've never been! Sorry if the information is listed elsewhere already!
Hi Kev. It's going to be the same room/pins as the ladies comp (but at a different time obviously)
I'll start a thread on the national finals later
I can confirm 76 and 77 from me on the list will be Baseball and Buckaroo, and please add an extra TBA
Would like to get Buckaroo sited next to PUP’s Kings & Queens please, so all you erstwhile Pinball Champs can have a go at taking on “Tommy” Foster

I am going to have to take 3 off my list to accommodate Widnesbernie's machines as van & travel sharing to save on costs.
My main comp games obv need to come and Kings & Queens for our 'Tommy Foster' comp.
Im thinking of taking off Spectrum & Monte Carlo as they both came to this and Nerg last year but which other would be the least loss.. Twilight Zone, Banzai or Haunted house?
