Hi all.
Henrik Maurer at Pinball Dreams just sent me one of the new licensed 3D Medieval Madness translites, hot off the press from Germany - and damn fine it is too. There's a quick review of it here:

Hi all.
The Pinball Assistant is free mobile pinball app which aims to have info, photos, fun facts and playing tips about every single pinball machine ever made. A kind of IPDB on Dexedrine, if you will, that you can carry around in your pocket. It's currently a Kickstarter project, and I...
Hi all,
I've been thinking about tilting recently, and talked to Roger Sharpe, Bowen Kerins and others about what how tilt settings affect games on location, gameplay, tourament strategies and cheating.
If you're interested, it's at...
Hi all,
I met a very interesting guy at Expo who's working on a non-fiction book that delves deep in to the world of pinball - the history, stories, people, the tournament scene and so on. Kind of like what Word Freak did about the world of Scrabble, or Walking With Einstein did for the...
Hi all.

Hi all.
I've been a bit busy recently so there's been a bit of a pause on Pavlov Pinball, but things are getting back to normal.
The modding business is getting increasingly professional, what with Stern and others entering the game, and licensed mods appearing. So I've been talking to Tim...

Hi all,
I've been away so I've not updated the site for a couple of weeks until now. I've been talking to country music star Carlene Carter who is the voice of Red in Red and Ted's Roadshow.
If you're interested in how she came to be immortalised on a Pat Lawlor machine, you can find out here...
Hi all,
I've been wondering about whether major events should have ladies only tournaments - or whether there is a good reason why they shouldn't. Do men have any advantage that makes it unfair for women to have to compete in the same competition? Or is it a level playfield, as it were. I've...
Hi all.

Big thanks...
Hi all,
