A Clue or Another Trick From Barrels of Fun?; News From Pedretti Gaming & Pinball Brothers

Yesterday, Barrels of Fun, shared a really neat new video that appeared on Adam Savage’s Tested YouTube channel. With just under 7 Million subscribers, that's a pretty great place to show off their new game.

From my perspective, the video was great in a number of ways. Beyond giving us background on Barrels' newest game Dune and its development, we got a great look at the Company's factory...and maybe a sneak peek at something we weren't supposed to see?

I never know what to think about the tricky folks at Barrels of Fun when it comes to teasing upcoming pinball themes. They had people thinking that they had the license for the film The Fifth Element for a while. And not long ago they left some pretty obvious clues in pictures that alluded to the 1985 film The Goonies. Well, at the 12:50 mark in the below video we get to see just a sliver for a second or two of what appears to be a pinball cabinet featuring the art for a game that looks like The Goonies. Is this an intentional clue, a slip up, intentional misdirection??? I have no idea, but I thought that it was worth mentioning.

Also yesterday, the European pinball manufacturer Pedretti Gaming, shared pictures of its FunHouse Remake being shipped out of the Euro Pinball Corp. factory. That's cool in itself, but at the bottom of the post they seemed to reference the article that I wrote here earlier this week about them producing a remake of the 1996 Williams game Tales of the Arabian Nights with the following quote:

Stay tuned for more updates—exciting things are on the way! 🎉

"I can neither confirm nor deny."

Hmmmmmmm

Pedretti Gaming's Euro Pinball Corp. manufacturing partner, Pinball Brothers, also briefly teased its next game in the return of its Company Newsletter earlier this week.
