While this Funhouse remake will be the first full pinball machine by Pedretti, the company is no stranger to building pinball machines; They used to be the contract manufacturer for Pinball Brothers, building Alien, Queen and ABBA pinball games. The collaboration resulted in the Euro Pinball Corp. joint venture, which is currently building Pinball Brothers’ games, and will also build the Funhouse remake games.
