Turner Pinball Reveals Second Game - Merlin's Arcade

There has been chatter out there over the past couple of days about a surprise pinball reveal this week. Well, SURPRISE! Here it is. On the heels of successfully selling out its debut game, Ninja Eclipse, this morning Turner pinball unveiled its second pinball machine - Merlin's Arcade, just in time for this week's Texas Pinball Festival.

The game was designed by industry veteran (and one of my personal favorite designers) Jon Norris, who has over 30 previous designs on his resume.

Merlin's Arcade is currently expected to ship this summer. Pricing is as follows: the "Arcade Edition" is priced at an amazing (for today's market) $6,995 and the "Legendary Edition" priced at $8,995. Production of the Legendary Edition is limited to 500 units.

The first 100 games to ship will be Legendary Edition games. Then production of the Arcade Edition will start. Turner is now accepting $1,000 deposits on the game.

Tonight, Turner Pinball's Chris Turner is going to conduct a Live Q&A session about Merlin's Arcade with Cary Hardy on his YouTube channel. Click on the link below to check it out:
