Family Guy: Stern's Latest Pinball Table

Pat Lawlor's latest creation for Stern is Family Guy. Martin Ayub over at Pinball News has a few pictures of the table. Looks like a fun game and I like a couple of Lawlor's tables (Monopoly, RollerCoaster Tycoon) though I have never been good at either of them. I will have to research some of his other tables, if he has any. Anyhow, go check out the article and pictures. Can't wait to get to this one. Though I am still trying to find PotC, maybe I can find it at the Texas Pinball Festival this year ;)

Other information on this table can be found at Parts4Pinball.com

Texas Pinball Festival


The Texas Pinball Festival is happening March 23-25, 2007 in Grapevine Texas. I plan on being there for a day of pinball on what will hopefully be a great selection of tables. There will be over 100 pinball machines, classic video games and other game room goodies set up on free play for everyone to enjoy the entire weekend. A schedule of events can be found on the website at http://www.texaspinball.com/showinfo.htm

It looks to be a fun weekend with tournaments, the International Flipper Pinball Association (IFPA ) will be on hand to list tournament entrants in the World Pinball Player Ranking (WPPR). Meet the pinball creator Dennis Nordman (Party Zone, Dr. Dude, Pirates of the Caribbian) who will be there for a presentation, Q&A, and autographs.

There is quite a bit going on throughout the weekend so check out the website for a list of events. Pre-registration is going on through the March 14, 2007. The Taxes Pinball Festival 2007 will be held at the Hilton DFW Lakes in Grapevine, TX.
