Ava joins me to talk about the newest P3 game, Heist!
This Week In Pinball had a writeup on the release day here:
We are having a blast with the game, and we talk about the artwork, design, software, audio and how I can't get more than 5,000 points. ;-)
For those interested, you can order from Multimorphic at https://www.multimorphic.com/store/p3-game-kits/heist/
Thanks to Ava for joining me and talking about her new favorite game!
Welcome back! I have decided to slightly retool the show as most of my free time is being spent on developing a modern game for the P3 platform.

Had a follow-up call for the Williams Deluxe Official Baseball regarding the pitching motor. I discuss some of the unique properties of that unit along with the repair for a sticking pitching unit and the gameplay for the game itself.
Listener (and good friend) Ryan Claytor wrote in with a correction to episode 462.
Next, there is a NIB Bally Tahiti on eBay... sort of: https://www.ebay.com/itm/BALLY-BINGO-PINBALL-MACHINE-TAHITI-1979-NEW-IN-BOX/274192522557?hash=item3fd725dd3d:g:E9AAAOSwfideFoIp

Dan Ferguson, proprietor of the Lone Star Pinball Museum, passed away on December 14th, 2019. I was privileged to meet Dan and spend a few hours speaking with him and playing games in August. Rest in peace, Dan.
The new game I discuss has had some new developments, including art, music, and voice acting: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/p3-game-so-you-want-to-be-a-hero-quest-for-glory-pinball
Today's featured game is 1967's Chicago Coin Festival: https://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=833
Another episode, another new game announcement - this one decidedly not EM, but interesting all the same.

There is a potential new EM podcast coming - looking forward to it! The more EM content, the better!
In other news, a Pinside user had an unobtainable part of the reset bank for Bally games 3D printed. I hope we see much more of this in the future, and prevent more games from being scrapped.

Today's featured game is 1969's Seven Up by Williams. A very interesting layout with two sequences, multiple ball saving posts, and specials galore.
I went to the Houston Arcade Expo and talk a bit about what sets the show apart, along with the debut of the Acrylic Bingo project!
Shawn did an excellent job with fabricating a new cabinet and playfield for Golden Gate, one of the most complex and astounding bingo pinball machines, out of acrylic. It was great to meet new folks and old friends and teach some how to play.
I worked on a Williams Deluxe Official Baseball, and talk a bit about the common fixes needed.
Lastly, listener Gene wrote in with his experience at Loof's Lite-A-Line, a pinball gambling parlor on Long Beach. Gene's photos are available here: https://store.orangephotography.com/p1009785287
A very interesting place - thanks Gene for documenting it!

Today's episode is all about the York show! Bingo Row, Woodrail Row, good friends, and fun!
I also discuss the end of the Coin-Op Carnival tour and the completion of Multi-Races, along with the first public showing for Multi-Races.
Thanks to everyone that makes the York show such a fantastic show - Rich and all the staff, everyone that brings games (especially for Bingo Row), good friends that share in the fun at Bingo Row, and the public that comes to play and learn about all of the amazing games from times past.

Tonight I am joined by Edward Trapunski, author of "Special When Lit: A visual and anecdotal history of Pinball".
We discuss the creation of the book, originally published in 1979, came out at a time of great change for pinball. The industry was moving from electro-mechanical games to solid state. The book touches on a broad history of the game, a description of the appeal from social, art, and gameplay aspects, and even a peek into the future (circa 1979), which turned out to be quite prescient!
Special When Lit can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/Special-When-Lit-Anecdotal-History/dp/B0038KRFRU
