Going Back
This one’s for my dad: Tina Fey once contributed voice work to a pinball game called Medieval Madness.
Apparently she did the voices of the opera singer princess, and the cockney princess.
My dad used to play this obsessively at the bowling alley back during my high school days. He’d take me and my brothers there pretty regularly for a while, and after the bowling was done he would dump several dollars’ worth of quarters into this game. It was a great game (and according to its Wikipedia article, a big critical and popular success), and my dad was very good at it. I remember a lot of the voices, though unfortunately not Tina’s. Reading this on Kotaku was a nice bit of nostalgia this morning.
I appreciate pinball (though I’m not particularly good at it) and I would agree that this is a very well designed and fun table. It doesn’t play too fast, and the theme is brilliant.

We had one at the bowling alley down the block (yes, I live 100 feet from a bowling alley) and the voice acting was by far the finest element (“JACKPOT!!!!”). This one guy got to the very last stage but couldn’t pull through with the win. The exploding castle after a while wouldn’t shake around so well – too much explodey over time.
