Speaking of John Popadiuk, I am ashamed to admit I owned the short-lived Zizzle Pirates of the Caribbean “mini-pinball” he helped design, circa 2007 or so.
I remember it being a very unforgiving table. Eventually it developed some power connection weirdnesses that I didn’t want to fix, so I left it on the curb with all the bits for someone else to try to salvage.
Aw, reading further, Zizzle went under before they could make this cool Atari mini pinball!
