The Lost Halloween episode! (that should have come out a few days ago but didn't, oops)Lots of pinball tidbits and a fair amount of talk about Alien: Earth

Two topics:

• Pinball we love to play despite being terrible at the tables.
• Look at the three tables in Zen's Williams Vol 9 pack: Pin*Bot, Taxi, and Who Dunnit

This time we go deep on how much it costs to either have the best Quest 3 VR experience with pinball or on a cabinet with AtGames Legends Pinball 4K.

There's a lot to consider, and we're fans of both options!

Lara Croft and her raiding of tombs have been turned into two different pinball tables by Zen, and we're here to take a swan dive into them!

Includes gameplay footage from the VR version.

Continued discussion of the Arcade2TV-XR controller and the software it comes with, Arcade Ranger and Pinball FX VR.

On this episode, we discuss if the Arcade2TV-XR controller is the controller all us digital pinball players have been waiting for...or if it misses the mark. This is mostly a hardware discussion as we are saving the software discussion for next time.

The podcast provides an extensive and enthusiastic exploration of VR pinball gaming, focusing heavily on the Quest 3 headset experience, Pinball FX VR software, mixed reality features, and hardware peripherals such as the X Arcade controller.

The discussion covers technical setup, immersive gameplay mechanics, accessory recommendations, and community-focused future features.Show notes: https://www.blahcadepinball.com/blahcade-287/

In this episode, we dive into Zen's announcement for Pinball FX VR!

We also give our gut reaction to the Kickstarter for Wonderland Amusement's Alice Goes To Wonderland pinball machine. Is it a toy or is it more to it than this label?
