The first is a new game, called Ticket Pinball, which will be offered in a video redemption format. TouchMagix ® has two exciting launches slated for Amusement Expo International 2020. TouchMagix to launch Pinball in easy-to-play video redemption format at Amusement Expo International 2020, along with SpaceWarp 66 in non-redemption amusement mode. It also has a backbox display for info & scoring. Ticket targets appear on the playfield that the player needs to hit with the ball. In this, you have a basic playfield with two flippers, a couple of pop-bumpers and a few other bumper walls. This is a video pinball game housed in a pinball-style cabinet and with gameplay simplified to fit with the needs of ticket redemption venues (as noted in the PR below, most pinball redemption attempts have been failures, as pinball by it’s nature is too long for redemption titles, which tend to only last a few seconds to a minute). Perhaps this one can also be called the “Street Version.”įor the new and original game, there is Ticket Pinball. One difference I see from the image provided of the cabinet is that the upper display shows the current Top Score as well as the Weekly Best. This was one of the more popular games at IAAPA 2019 (as I heard a lot of people bring it up by the end of the week), and TM had mentioned that there was enough interest for this particular version, since not all locations out there can or want to operate redemption. As that implies, the gameplay remains intact, you’re just playing for points instead of tickets. Let’s start with the variation game first, SpaceWarp 66 – Amusement Edition.
As a note, both games are built in the USA, I believe at Fun Company in Wisconsin. However, I have a press release here about two new launches for the company – one is a variation of what we first saw at IAAPA 2019, the other is brand new. As you can see from their banner at the top of any page here (as of this writing it changes), they are set to be at Expo at booth # 644 with their 3 titles that debuted at IAAPA.
Such is the case for one of AH’s major advertisers, Touch Magix. Amusement Expo 2020 is next week, and while I did publish a preview for what we expect to find at the show just the other day, sometimes news comes along that slightly changes things after such posts make the wires.
