    So while I'm trying to take these things in order See Bruce is all happy because he's back. He's enjoying life, buying pinball machines. We're good.
    5:45
    Wait a minute, you bought another one? I bought a couple. You bought a couple? Are these the ones we already mentioned? No. The Wally Winning Podcast is brought to you by Wally Winning. Maximum two reps, folks. Otherwise, your biceps will just pop out of your arm. Pop out, explode. Yep.

We'll be right back. Hey, you're taking my tasty waves, man. I try to get more specifics because I kind of saw the tail end of it. I blame headphones once again. Bump and run? Basically, I think the dude was playing, he had his headphones on, he had won but didn't realize he'd win, you know, and the guy's trying to tell him, hey, you won, hey, it's over, you're all set. So then I think he like patted, like tapped him on the back. No, I must have been like too hard for his liking and it's like, fuck it, hit me. And then there was a whole like, like, uh,
    8:51
    that, of course, nothing happened. Neither guy was thrown out and like the next day they were both there. So I would have done the elbow on a man.
    8:59
    We don't brother hit me, dude. I got to take him out with the big, big leg drop, brother. The Python. Yes. Oh, it was just like, well, that because that's as close to an altercation I've seen in a while. So. Hmm. That was it. I got nothing else there. Wow. So how was the show? Well, it's more of a tournament than a show. I actually played fairly well to the point where I... I don't buy it. Well, you know, I play in the main division, but I just use up the free entry, not free entries, but the entries that come as part of the package that I buy. That is where I moved to Los Angeles to play personal golf. And we had a meeting at one point junto con el romanticista Eric AmesCom fuente Roddy Brown, and he said, will you join us today? I said, all right, yeah, why don't we just take 4-0 and do it both and I was like, yeah, we can do it that way, and he didn't say no, he said, there's no question but I wanted to even figure that out and he said, that's pretty cool and you want a big 4-0 it's no Adi to step into the man's seat there. g. Who knows what the game is going to be. He can go into box. A Star of Yokota, I'm still $12 ahead. Yeah.
    10:33
    The spa resort place they had it at this year was nice. Yeah. I really like all the pools. That was very comfortable. I saw you got a hug when you were out there, too. Congratulations. You were gifted. Yes. Mr. Byers hugged. He hugged. Yes, he hugged. Terry Haslam,
    11:22
    I'm going to go from behind. Oh my. Yes. The classics winner was Raymond Davidson. Oh, I know that guy. And the target match play winner was Nick DiStefano. Nick DiStefano, yeah. Yeah, New England guy. The women's champion was Cassie Begay and the B division champion, see, fool me on this I predicted that Miles would win. There's like, there's two kids, the Bradley kids that are at all these tournaments now, and Miles is the younger one. So when I saw him in the finals, like, oh, there's your winner. He was, it was my prediction. He got to the finals, but he did not win. The winner was Mark Scholes. There was no T in there. So I assume that's how you say it. Scholes. Yeah. Scholtz! Scholtz? No, this is not Ogunceros. The main Division A champion was Daniele. Viva Italia! Yes. And um... That was it. Congratulations to all who won and played. You know where else you can play and have fun and have a great tournament? Here comes the plug. Where, Bruce?
    12:45
    You're supposed to be plugging it too. It's your tournament also. Also, you mean the Slam Tilt Oh My Pinball Tournament? Yes! Stopped to be taking place at the Rochester Pinball Collective? Yes! Okay, when does this happen? This happens, I gotta look it up now, Jesus Christ. Very good, Bruce. It's less than two months. Very good, yes. The same weekend as Yagpin, because everyone keeps on telling me. Okay, well. I think it's the, I can't get on my computer, my computer's like really slow right now. We're lucky we're getting into that. You're gonna start skipping up the... up the... Yeah. It's in 349 West Commercial Street, East Rochester, New York. And it's from the 15th to the 17th. Of what? Of May. Okay. Sweet 2965. Yes. Come one, come all. How many people have signed up so far, Bruce? 66. Uh, what's the max? 92. Oh, come on, people, let's go! We are two-thirds of the way there. Mmm. What kind of excitement can they look forward to, Bruce?
    13:48
    Dead silence. You and me. No excitement. You and me. Yes. Oh, oh. Just you. You can just, you can, you can revel with us. Uh-huh.
    14:00
    Revel. Revel. Actually, did I even take that day off? You better have. You better have or what, Bruce? You better, you better, you bet. She said, okay.
    14:13
    I telephone my voice, rough from cigarettes. Let's see. The excitement of me looking at my phone. Yay! PTO vacation. Yes, I did take it off. Yay! What a great guy. All right. Let's see. Next. Oh, I found out some information while I was at INDISC. What else? What was that? From the IFPA president, Josh Sharp. Are you sure that's the president? Because I hear there's, you know, another guy from Canada that thinks he's the president. No, I ain't the president. So, um... Hi Jeff.
    14:54
    The upcoming Brawl Thrill slash Play Mechanics slash Chicago Gaming game... Mm-hmm. Flash. ...that many people are thinking is gonna be what, Halo is the rumor title? I have no idea what that is. Flash. What, you think it's Flash? Slash. Oh, Slash. You keep on saying slash, so I'm just going to go, slash, can you dig it?
    15:17
    I'm so confused. Slash, can you dig it? It's not even flash. And they say, can you dig it? But that's like, I don't... Let's go, keep on going.
    15:30
    Who's the private dicks? Who's the sex machine to all the chicks? I mean, that's shaft. It's not slash. Can you dig it? I don't understand. Dan. Well, this upcoming game, rumored to be Halo, will have two spinners. Thank you. This is the kind of inside info you get on the Slam Tilt Podcast. Wow. You like that? Wow. Yeah. Okay. I want that game now! I want one of them. Okay. I don't know if it's the band pin theme. Not. Okay. What else do I got? Let's get all these tournaments out of the way. Then, Right at the week after that, I didn't realize it was so close to it, well it usually isn't because INDISC was later this year, but the Nationals and Pinmasters. Yes. The thing that was at RPC last year. Last year, yes. This year was in Chicago somewhere. Chicago, Chicago, you're my kind of town. Let's see, and the winner of Nationals was I think Jason Zahler again. Congratulations two times in a row. Yeah, two times in a row. The winner was Keith Elwin. Who's that guy? The ancient one. Truly showing he's the GOAT at a young 75 years old. He's still able to win. You bastards! At the highest level. Man, Dante, Dante Oliva has been killing it. He's been killing it. New York City guy.

What did I hear about this? An F-14 Tomcat and Alien Star. Mmm. That's a great group right there. Mmmmm. Yeah? Mmmmm. Yeah, I just came back from TPF where some dude like parked himself on Dialed In in the free play area and just kept playing for 40 minutes straight, just never looking behind him to see if anyone else wanted to play. Why do people put up with that? Like you know, making yourself suffer. It's almost like getting yourself sick. Someone should have came up to him and said, this is Dialed In, why are you playing this? Yes, what the fuck you doing? What are you doing? Are you an idiot? Okay. What do I got next here? So, oh, yes. We talked about this the last episode, and you are convinced that Melvin Williams had already been in discussions with American before he even left. Oh, yeah. Well, unless he was lying in interviews, that was not the case. Yeah, okay. Basically, after he sent his little announcement out during the Super Bowl, 16 minutes later, the main dude at American, what's his name? I gotta... Listen, dude! No, Jesus. What do you know, brother? No, he's the American, not the American Dream, we should do him as the ultimate warrior, because he's going to have to be the ultimate warrior to go through all this shit. The ultimate warrior to survive? Yes. From all the warriors before! His name is Brian Vincent. Brilliant. The names are sorry, but..... Brian
    19:41
    Vincent called Melvin 16 minutes after Melvin sails with Bryce Brian Vincenet, 60 Minutes after Melvin sat out his BOLTEN thing Yeah. Oh f*** 條何oria purpose, Jim McCray,ан свободал원 ese 또 тер cud, 있는 팬� consciousness은 voll용해둔 클루비트 또 저� burns 239 00ANDY KEN0 AND improvising crew
    20:04
    WILY And at least one of the posts I read, he was still blaming Dutch for something. That wasn't done. Jesus fucking Christ. It's like, don't do that. Just don't do that. But what we also talked about, we were talking about upcoming themes, the fact that they're going to be doing remakes there. They had an agreement with Planetary Pinball. So we were like, oh, it's got to be a Popaduke game. And it can't be, what, Tales from the Arabian Nights or Theater of Magic, because supposedly We be right back This game is going to be guess what it is Bruce Circus Voltaire It Circus Voltaire Regular version and reimagined You got your order in or any for that I like Circus Voltaire. I know you do, that's why I'm saying it. That's why I would buy an original.
    21:21
    I mean, I would buy an original. I mean, the price should go down, right? Because these new ones will be out. Yeah, just like the Medieval Madnesses all went down.
    21:30
    Oh, they didn't? Oh, okay. I haven't been looking at prices. I'm sorry. Okay. But there's even more American news. No way! They hired some more new employees. I'm getting this from... Bring out your dad!
    21:50
    I'm bringing all this from Knapp Arcade here. Hi, Knapp. So they... Bring out your dad! Robin Rath and Nick Niesel from the Electronic Playground. They do the toppers. Nick, he's the one who did the insane Tony Hawk homebrew game, which has all kinds of stuff that you could never actually do in a mass-produced game. Mayina Nunez and We're going to call Mr. T. Okay. Let's see. Rob is joining American as product director. Okay. And Nick is showing as product engineer. Okay, so I have a question with this. Well, before you do your question, Bruce, these new employees and Ron Lindeman, the president of American Pinball, they all live in St. Louis. We have them in St. Louis, we got the owner I think in Chicago, and we got the manufacturing facilities in Chicago, and then we got the what head of product development is in the Netherlands. There are going to be some interesting zoom calls going on. It's just so weird. Yeah. And I know, I was thinking about this, people might say, well, look at Jersey Jack. They had all their staff in Chicago, but they were building all the games in New Jersey. And it's like, yeah, and they eventually changed that. Yes, they did. They all got into one area. Yeah. One zip code. I just, I don't see how you're going to be doing this. Because these guys aren't moving, and they're keeping their business. They're going to still be making toppers for electric, what was it again? Playground. Yeah. And I mean, no one's moving anywhere. So how is this going to work?
    24:15
    Well, you tell me what was what were you going to say, Bruce? How do they become product development things when they're just remaking games?
    24:23
    Well, they will be doing new games. I know what I'm saying. For right now, what are they bored? They sitting around doing nothing?
    24:30
    I'm being honest, you know? Well, no, that's the reimagined part of Circus Voltaire. Oh, yes, yes. The ringmaster head will come up and it's something else instead of the ringmaster. It's like Jaws. They'll actually eat the ball.
    24:48
    What kind of head could pop up instead? Like an evil clown. Yeah, it's going to be what it instead of Circus Voltaire. It's like the clown comes up. What is it? Pennywise is what is it called? It comes up. Hi there. I'm going to fucking kill you.
    25:05
    Oh joy. Oh, yawning already, Bruce. Oh, I'm so exhausted. I'm exhausted from all the cruising. Cruising and work. Are you cruising at work? I didn't know you did that. I am surfing.
    25:24
    But yeah, Circus Voltaire, how much will it be? That's going to be the big thing. How long will it take before it comes out? It ain't gonna be this year. Mm-hmm. No way. Sorry. Not being negative, being realistic. Okay. And then what are they gonna use for the board work and everything like that? Are they doing arpenos? What are they, you know, we don't know what they're even gonna use. Arpenos? You mean Arduinos? Arduinos. Like, you know, or is it gonna be like... Or fast? Yeah, exactly. We don't know anything. Yeah, I don't know what they're using currently. I forgot. I thought they were doing their own boards or something. I can't even remember. Yeah, but who knows now because are they going to get boards from, you know, their parent company, the old parent company? We don't know. So this is really just, you can make an announcement, but even with the good intentions of some of these companies, it's going to be a long time. A long time? Maybe, at least they're not taking money yet.
    26:33
    Plus on that. I guarantee all these distributors are going, get in line! They said they're going to be doing more code updates for Galactic Tank Force. They're going to be doing a topper.
    26:50
    I've got to find where the hell that is. Stop yawning. I'm sorry. Good gravy. The Wally Winka Show, Knapp Arcade, Bally Williams, Straight Down the Middle, Bally Williams,
    27:28
    So they got the they came out with and they brought it to TPF. It's a hundredth anniversary of Houdini. So they have Houdini. I was hoping it was going to be all new artwork, but it was just a cabinet cabinet. It's literally just a cabinet and they're going to be doing a topper.
    27:49
    Christopher Franchi did the artwork for the cabinet. He's going to do the artwork for the topper. The cabinet artwork, the only thing is it's mirrored. I was hoping it'd be something different on each side. It's like him underwater, like all chained up and that stuff. Other than that, the playfield's exactly the same. The cabinet is the same. It's still got the weird back box. They didn't change any of that. And the top of the back box, it says, like, you know, limited edition, you know, 2 of 100, 3 of 100. Albie and I, activates a million Playfields.
    28:51
    We need to build stuff. Yeah you gotta have that, they found those playfields probably all warped and everything. Oh no. It's in the back room. Okay let's go on to Texas Pinball Festival just happened, Bruce! No! Yes it did. And there were supposed to be two brand new games there. One of them made it, the other one got stuck in customs. So Three Musketeers was supposed to be there, but it never made it there. I love that candy bar. But I love someone had like an EM Free Musketeers 1949 or something there. I thought that was hilarious. I did watch the video. Did you watch the video, Bruce? Yeah. What did you think of Free Musketeers? I think people need to hire other people to work on their videos. The music was so loud in the video, I couldn't hear any of the sound effects they were actually АнTherk背еймь.
    30:21
    I'll go with what you said. You know you're probably wrong. But yeah, I... I'm looking. Oh, you're looking? I'm looking. Just go to Nappy, had it right on there. But I don't remember seeing a price either. Yeah. But the other game, the other new game that was announced right before TPF was Yukon Yeti. This is the Whitewater sequel that has been in the works since Deeproot. This is the same one if you looked at any of the when they had the sale of all the Deeproot assets and they had all the Whitewoods, you would have seen this. It was there and it looked pretty much the same as it does now. Dennis Norman kind of brought it with him to American where it sounds like as far as it got is they designed the the ball walker mech Or as I call it, the ski lift from Wipeout. Yes. That's kind of what it's like. Which isn't fair. It actually does something extra that the ski lift doesn't do. And it was finished at American. Er, no, not American. Sorry, Turner. Yes. So Turner Pinball, this is their third game. I can say unequivocally after playing it, it is their best shooting game that they have made. Yeah, that's not too hard. I'm not being mean, Bruce. You're so mean. I'm not being mean. I'm being truthful. I'm being honest. I'm being very truthful. It wasn't a high bar. So, did you see the trailer video? Yes. What did you think of the trailer video? It was not good volume and speech on that. It was very, like, bits. Like, you know, like... Okay, here's some of the issues and just take note. Watch some Stern trailers, Jersey Jack trailers to get the idea. One thing I don't want to hear in the video is the sound of the pinball machine, meaning balls hitting the playfield, the flippers flipping, just all mechanical sounds. That's all you could hear in this. No actual in-game audio of music. We had a ragtime piano going that was not actually from the game. That got annoying after about ten seconds. Maybe five seconds. They had call outs that they played. Some were okay. Some were not good. They were trying to be play-filled like the old Williams ones were. And they failed miserably. Here's the issue. You have this is a sequel to Whitewater. Yes, the Whitewater music and call outs are classes highest level. I would argue most of the Williams music call outs are the highest level even to this day. Yeah. I mean, maybe they didn't have they didn't have 500 costs. Yeah, they had like 50. And you remember every fucking one. Yep. But yeah, the just like no, So, stop with the... Ah! It just... That's all I hear is like the ball thump, clud, thump, thump, bump, like, ah, don't do that! Then they had a gameplay video of it, so that... And they had the sound way down so you couldn't hear it at all. The other thing you didn't see in the trailer was any of the LCD animations. I didn't see any. Yep, none. So... Zero nada. Then when we get to TPF, I got to see... It's there! The LCD animations are minimal. It has like a map screen and will transition to certain things like there's 12 modes. Like why are there 12 modes? God damn it. I'm so sick of like, I have a new rule. Five or less modes if you're going to have to do modes. Five or less. I agree. So yeah, if you hit it in the start mode, like a screen will come up where you pick your mode. Text will appear over the screen, like over what's the map when you do things like, you know, ball one locked, you know, tilt warning, that kind of thing. Yeah. The very sparse LCD animations. The... I couldn't hear it that well, but I have since gone back and they had some of the pinball media that were there and they actually got some time with it where they got the audio direct in and streamed it so you can hear everything. And yeah, the music that ragtime piano, which I was hoping was just in the trailer. No, that is the actual... That's what you hear is the main music. No. No. It doesn't work. No. You heard Ron. Down boy. No. The callouts, there's a woman who just kind of giggles and laughs throughout the whole thing. Eliminate that. Eliminate that. That got annoying quick. Okay. The callouts, like there'll be occasional, like I thought the Avalanche callout was good. You know, Avalanche! Juny Cummings,
    36:02
    I'm not gonna like it. It's just a preference. I mean, it is what it is. Okay, I found your pricing. The topper looked scary. The Yeti thing. I know. It looked kinda like, ahhh, whoa. I know. Okay, what's the pricing, Bruce? Okay, two different versions. Oh, that's right. There is pricing. It costs the same as like Evil Dead. It's just under 10k for the regular one, and then for another two grand, you get all the other stuff. So it's actually $9,300 and $12,100. Yeah. So this is... Eeshk. It's a little pricey. It's a little pricey for what's in there. No, not at all. No way. Compared to something like... No way. Something just under $10,000 like Evil Dead has so much more stuff in it. It's the Elegant Edition. The Elegant... That's 200 copies. Oh, everyone's got to have a different name for their edition, don't they? Yeah, and then the classic edition.
    37:05
    Well, yeah, so the gameplay. Shoots really good. That's good. So you ordered one. You ordered one of the 500. My dad, I had him play the first ball and he started multiball. Wow. Yeah. If you know how to play whitewater, you'll know how to start multiball. They have with a ball walker, ball walker, the ball locker, whatever. The ski lift mech, maybe I'll call it. It's got two targets on either side, just like whitewater. You hit the target, it's got a drop target so you can't hit it, you can't lock a ball with the drop target up, and it's like self-bricking. If you don't hit the two targets on either side of it, when you hit the target, it don't go down. It just laughs at you. That confused me at first. I'm like, wow, that target's bricking a lot, damn! But no, once you hit the two targets, the stand-ups, the target goes down and you can lock balls. If you lock three balls, it gives you the choice whether you want to lock more or start multiball. So a little, a little Aerosmith there. So I had, or Mustang, so I had dad like, no, just take the multiball. I want to see what it does. So just regular multiball. So if you just take it, the, the ski lift will lift the balls up to the upper playfield Where it feeds the flipper for the jackpot shot just like regular whitewater. That's good. Oh yeah, the upper playfield is just like regular whitewater except reversed. Reversed, yeah. With the same two shots and there's actually three shots because the one shot actually has a trap door that will open up occasionally depending on what mode you're in so you can hit it there. But yeah, so when you hit the whitewater ramp, that's not what it's called. What is it called? The spine chiller, the whatever. The spine chiller! I don't remember. mounted tank, Jackpot. That's the money shot. I think there's a jackpot shot on the bottom two to get it to the upper playfield. It said jackpot on it. There's another ball lock behind the right lower flipper or upper flip. Well, the right upper flipper on the lower playfield. So if you kind of you lift it up and try to I could not get a ball underneath there. I tried a couple of times and gave up. But I assume that's another multiball there. Okay. Did you order it? The pop-upper area, the right side has one, two, three, four shots. Two of the shots just go right into the pop-uppers. The one shot actually feels like it's a little mini ramp that comes up and puts it in front of the upper right flipper so you can hit the leftmost shot which is the thing that gets it to the upper playfield. You don't plunge it to the upper playfield like you do on regular whitewater. So it makes it like you actually have to get up to the upper playfield. It has a left orbit that comes all the way around that also feeds that upper right flipper. It has a shot even further left. That's the mode start. So you can start one of those 12 modes. But yeah, when I played it, I went for the five ball multiball just to see what it would do. And it does something different. It does avalanche. And this is where it does something different than the wipeout ski lift. Because all that does, it just brings the ball up. It brings the ball up and it stages them. And then it just goes flat and they all come down right at you. That's pretty cool. Except the fact that Jackpot Shot is still up top. Up top. And I'm like, oh shit, wait a minute. So if you hit the ski lift again, like while you're in multiball, it will lift the ball up. Bring it all the way up top. And bring it all the way up to the upper flipper for you. That's pretty cool. So 10K, you buying one? No. Why not? You sounded like you enjoyed it so much. Yeah, it passes my, the first level layout, 100% passes. Okay. Like that was thoroughly shot good. Flippers were actually strong. It played good. Fritz B핑,
    41:59
    Find P angry abs How Trustees up I think I think they probably could sell more because I think it like an almost like another like the wind what the Winchester whatever it up mm yeah I feel they really left meat on the bone and you don hear many complaints about turn games I mean so and people get their Turner games so they already a step way ahead of most manufacturers this this yeah yeah I I enjoyed my game of it but again I couldn hear it which helped So, Not For The прош Ruists. So, Not For The прош Ruists,
    42:48
    In the I'll breaking the time... So, Not For The erfolg Maximum five modes, different music, and different call outs.
    43:16
    And get rid of the laughing woman there. Like, no, that does not work. That'll be eliminated, I have a feeling, because I can't see anyone playing that game and not being thoroughly annoyed by that.
    43:28
    And they usually listen, Turner. Like, they'll change stuff if people complain, and I think people are going to complain about that. I think the laughing woman is going to be gone soon. Well, that would be good. So! Yes, yes. What else did you play there? I played, well, Mr. Robert Byers was there too. Yeah, he got the rule of the universe. Of course he did, he's Robert Byers. But I played Top Gun with him. Yes. There's the Top Gun. Were you goose or was he goose? High-dose. That shot pretty good and it's really cool when you don't have to pay for rights for anything and you can use anything. Guess what the main theme music of the game is? Danger Jones, yeah, all the callouts, all the music, all the clips hits all in there because it doesn't get to the Frage pregunta that was good. Yeah, it actually shot at a couple of ramps that went up to change the shot, like the lifting ramps and stuff like that.
    44:41
    And lots of danger zone. Highway to the danger zone. What else do I got here? Yeah, I got Three Musketeers, which wasn't there, did not get through customs.
    44:55
    So what happens now? Does it get there and then they go, just send it right back? Or do they leave it with a distributor? I would assume they leave it with a distributor. That's what I'm thinking also. Yeah. They had like 20 Beetlejuices there. I saw that. Oh, just so many Beetlejuices. Yeah, it was good. Good show. As it always is. Of course, me, I play things that are like, you know, Ron, really, you came to this show and you're playing this. Like Dragon's Lair. Yup, and pole position sit down. All right! And it was jacked up to the max speed, like, okay. So yeah. So you're playing, I got a picture of you playing Dragon's Lair. Ah, first place in pole position. Second place also in pole position, which must have been running some kind of either score save chip or some shit, because it, you know, it survived a power, you know, being powered down, and the next day my score was still up there, like, oh, okay. I'm a bad ballpark. Yeah, yeah. What? Yeah, their theme of TPF this year was dragons. So they had dragons everywhere. So of course they had dragons lair. It had its own display. And it was running the 2.1 enhancement ROM. Ooh. Yeah, which uses all the footage from the laser disc. But the moves on several of the boards are different. Yes, they are. I kept getting stuck in the Dragons' Lair until I remembered what to do at the end. So I finally got through that. What else? They had a Dragon Fist there with a center post on it. It almost looked like a new playfield too. They drilled a center post through it. I saw they had a lot of classic Sterns there and a lot of them had Bally Flipperbats for Esteban Ambel and Vale Garza.
    47:18
    Any wildfires man? I didn't see any wildfires. They they call it wild Spire! I wanted to give a shout out because like... Damn! This thing is, nice. Kicking... its kicking baby! I played one of your favorite games that you want
    47:36
    A roller casino? No.. Skate or Die... Oh, Radical! SKATE OR DIE!!! It was a great game It was not for sale of course Thanks for bringing your Radical Skate or Die.
    48:17
    I'm back here. Thirty-two degrees, Bubby. Yeah, yeah. It was just then. Okay. What else? I'm trying to think of anything else I can think of at TPF. You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have TPF. And TPF. And the homebrew section, they actually had, I didn't notice this until the time had passed. They had Saturday from 3 to 5 or something, record call outs. Oh, God. They were looking for voice talent. Like, oh, too bad I didn't see that sign, huh?
    49:08
    Oh, well. Whoopsie. Yeah. Welcome back, Ron. I'm so glad to be back. Back to New York, back to reality. Yeah. On the pinball show, Mr. Mr. Many, he like put me over. What do you mean? Did he put you over his knee and spank you or something? I don't know what you're talking about. Well, you can tell Bruce doesn't listen to the show. No, I haven't. I haven't listened to anything lately. I'm a big boy, how you doin'? So you can do your flip n out plug then. Flip n out pinball, that's where our PC gets their pinball machines. Come one, come all, buy where you can. Buy from the number one distributor in the world. Zach, what's going on with Escalera? Where's my pin table? What's going on? Get on their case.
    50:19
    I'm on a list, but they haven't, you know, when I talked to them in October, they were there. They were at Expo. They were like, oh yeah, this should be ready by December or January. Like, well, we're in March. What's going on? I want my pin table, damn it. That's all I got. That's all you got. I had a good time on the cruise, though. You did? I did. Steve Bowden is awesome.
    51:12
    Thank you Steve! Fun with bonus, there you go! Fun with bonus, as always. As always. We always say it. So, um, are you ready for the ball bag? I am always ready to shave your ball bag. Uh, okay. Shave my ball bag? That doesn't even make sense. Shave it! You gotta shave it! You gotta get it nice and trim, make it nappy! You gotta make it nappy! Alright. Snappy nappy! So this is, uh, Dave. Hi Dave. Dave S. You know Dave S. I know Dave S. I know Dave S. He is the one who paid for our voice talent. He was there too. He was at TPF. Yes he was. He was on the panel for P3. Oh yes, with Kevin Manning was there. Yes. Oh yes, I played Final Resistance. I still like Final Resistance. There you go. I didn't play Portal because there was always someone on it and I just didn't feel... after Yukon Yeti that was like the only line I was there, I didn't feel like standing in lines. I just don't want to stand in lines. Dave says, Hey guys! Hey! I really enjoyed the ranking list one of the listeners provided. Oh, that was Steve provided that there. That segment idea, our last show. So I decided to make one for, sadly, one of my favorite designers, John Trudeau. Oh God. I love John. To keep things on theme, the S through F tiers have been converted to a prison-related tier system. Wow. Oh, God. I left out a few games, mainly the cocktail machines and some of the rare games I haven't seen in person. My tastes are generally bad and I am a bit of a Gottlieb shill, so I'm sure there will be haters out there regarding my list. Enjoy. Okay, Bruce, do you want to start at the top tier or do you want to start at the just lowest tier? Lowest tier. Okay. At the Slamtail Podcast, we go low first. So these games are at the solitary confinement F tier. Wow. Absolute rock bottom, total isolation from quality. They're locked away for a reason. All right. Hollywood Heat. Hmm. I kind of like Hollywood Heat. I wouldn't put that in F tier. Touchdown. Yeah. Qbert's Quest. Yes. Yeah. Spring Break. I don't remember. Other than it starts with multiball. Yeah. Bugs Bunny's Birthday Ball. Yes. Yeah, hell yeah. Uh, Wrestlemania, yes. Yeah, I'll go with that. No, I actually like Wrestlemania. Yeah, I know, you're high. I like it, I'd get one. Alright, the next tier up, Maximum Security, D tier. Tough, grueling, and honestly pretty unpleasant to deal with. Wait a minute, Rocky. How did Rocky not end up in the F tier? I think it should have been the F tier. Uh, the games. I kind of like the games. Eh, it's okay. You owned the games. I know, and how fast did I turn it around? I swear I didn't. I think you did.

Okay, spirit, no, that's wrong. Spirit would be in the upper tiers. Yeah, that's a great error. Silver slugger. Playfield's great. The code is the issue with most of the street levels. Deadly weapon, same thing. Yep. Mustang. I like Mustang. I'd go B on Mustang. Yeah, I kinda like Mustang. Alright, B tier or the White Collar Resort. Alright, it sounds like we're getting our type of... Solid performers with great amenities. Martha Stewart is your cellmate and gives you daily advice. And some boneage and some bones. Tag team! Yeah. I think Zach will be selling his soon. Narration coming up, The Dick of the Week Award. Yes, Dick of the Week. He knows I like that game. Me too. I'm the one that picked it out for him.
    55:45
    I was like, what the fuck? He's like, yeah, I sold it already. You should have asked me. This is our Zach we're talking about, Foxy. Yeah, that fucking bastard. Dick of the Week. Yes. His tournament career is over now that he's in his 30s. He's done. Yep.
    56:00
    Dick of the Week. Victory. Yeah. Yeah, you got one. So Excalibur. He did Excalibur? Black Rose. Yeah, that's my upper, upper tier. That's A. OK, House Arrest. High tier games you would happily be stuck at with at home forever. All right. Genesis. No, B. I like Genesis. Robo War. A.
    56:31
    The Machine, Bride of Pinbot. That's a C. See that? It's got a cool toy and incredible sound and music and all that stuff, but just shooting the thing over and over. You just shoot the ramp over and over and over. Judge Dredd, yes. Eh, B. I love Judge Dredd. The Flintstones.
    56:53
    B or C. That's a good layout. Let's see. Exonerated, our S tier. Wow. If it doesn't fit, you must acquit. There you go. You're walking out the front, Kate Zahiro. These are Trudeau's finest games. Here we go. Alien Star. Well, I own it, so I'll agree. TX Sector. TX, TX, TX. You know, honestly, if you play the game like it's designed, it's great. I mean, if you play in a tournament and you just hit the lit spinner, but when you actually play the thing, the transporting balls, you know, going from one side of the playfield to another and all that, And the music is just, that's just first here and all the weird sounds that thing makes. Wow. Like what the hell is it saying? Creature from the Black Lagoon. I own one, so yeah. Ghostbusters. No fucking way. No, no. Although the pro's not, the pro's better. Congo, yes. Yes, totally. Congo might be just one of the best shooting games ever made.
    58:07
    Very good. That was nice. I like that too. Thanks, Dave. Let's move that to the archives.
    58:16
    Archive. Oh, Classic Stern Advice. Ooh. You've come to the helpline. Yes, how can we help you? It's uh, Eelco. He has sent us, he has emailed us many times about Classic Sterns. What does he want this time? Hi Ron and Bruce! This week I listened to episode 122. Wow. What happened around that time? An amazing time machine! Bruce working in the bar, oh wow, and discussion about the deeproot titles. Ah, there was probably a lot of Robert Mueller going on there. You know, brother, we're gonna change the industry, dude. We got this new thing called the pin bar. And I really enjoyed the Bally versus Stern face-off. I could not wait to pick up my Centaur this weekend. Centaur. But now back to classic Sterns.
    59:10
    Speaking of classic Bally's, I found this video on YouTube. This guy, he sells like squawk and talk replacement boards and And vocalizer. Yeah. And he has like an original squawky talking vocalizer and he plays Flash Gordon through it. Oh, so you can hear how much better Flash Gordon sounds in the vocalizer board. So if you have one of the first like 300 or whatever it was, you are a lucky person because it's out so much better. So much better. Yeah. Ignite death rays. 15 seconds. Now back to the classic Sterns. That is why you started the show after all. Yes, yes it is. After buying a very nice nine ball, good decision, I really want to add a second classic Stern to my collection. Ilko, did you know that nine ball was also my first Stern? Mmm. Great minds think alike. This is probably the last, oh because I'm running out of room, oh come on. Get rid of the other games. Yeah, the Centaur you just got, get rid of it, get a Stern instead. Yes. I don't want to spend ridiculous amounts of money, okay, so you've ruled yourself out of stargazer, quicksilver, or another too expensive machine. Yes, you will not be able to get those. And sound is important to me. So a Starz is not high on my list because of that. Oh my god. So he wants some electronic sound goodness. Let's see, should I go for one of the widebodies? And would Big Game, Cheetah, or Flight 2000 be the best choice? I mean, they're all good choices, but they're also expensive. I mean, well, is Flight 2000 expensive usually? No, no. And Big Game probably isn't. I'd go Meteor. Cheetah, well, or go for Meteor or Galaxy. Meteor. Go for Meteor. You will not be disappointed. Always go for the meaty part of the ball bag. Go for Meteor. There are not many locations around to play them and East Rochester is not around the corner. Thanks for the tips and keep up the good work, Eelco. So yes, our recommendation is wholeheartedly Meteor and they are not expensive and they made a shitload of them so you have a higher chance at finding one. And you can get replacement drop targets and stuff for it too. Yes. Oh, actually he's in Europe. I don't know. AM2 I mean, it's the greatest, one of the greatest droning background sounds ever. Next one is from Mike D. You know Mike D. Yeah. Rogers.com. Yes. That's the domain so you know it's Canada. Oh Canada. Hey, Bruce and Ron. Firstly, Bruce, did you ever get the Viper turret motor running? Did you? Nope. Nope. Still digging with that. I have to work on the board part of it. The actual touching of the fingers. We're off of the Trudeau subject, so... Oh darn, sorry. Okay.
    62:57
    But yes, that's what I have to play with next. Well, maybe you should talk to Mike because he says, I got mine working fairly consistently, but had my fun with it and posted it for sale and someone drove all the way up from Tennessee to London, Ontario, Canada to purchase it. Wow.

The concept of a cruise does not interest me at all. A whole crowded mass of people in a tight, confined space floating on a mini-city with the prospect of seasickness. None of this sounds interesting to me. I most like the idea of getting off the boat to explore BANG! The I'm in St. Martin. Get back on the ship. Next day, poof, I'm in St. Kitts. It's like I'm not stuck at one place. I want to see things around the world. And it's the easiest, cheapest way to do it, I feel, where you're not always packing and unpacking. Three, you have a casino on board. Win! And it's just, I love it. It's just very relaxing. Like if you, one day, if you just want to sit by the pool and just veg out, that's great. Next day if you want to go casino, that's great. Next day you want to go, you know, play bingo, that's great. You can do trivia, cool. You want to just sit by and watch the sea go by, perfect. I'm going to go get a dinner or I mean a lunch. They serve it right for you. Awesome. I mean, who doesn't want to play bingo next to Mildred? Yes. Fuck yeah. And then when I say bingo, I can fucking give her the old finger like I won. That's why I like cruising. It's not for everyone. Don't get me wrong. It's not for everyone. And my wife actually got seasick this time. She got really sick. She but we had a 14 day cruise and she lost about two and a half days of it.

But yes. And now I am working on the ramps. I'm going to have to start moving shit over.

Mr. Magoo! He's come over again! Yes. He runs our Excelsior League! Yes, we worked on Torpedo Alley! Aha! He did the re-rubber kit mostly because I was on the floor working on stuff and doing other things. The rubber kit wouldn't just be called a rubber kit? No, because he was taking the rubbers off the old part and then he was re-rubbering it. Yes, he's the act of doing it is re-rubbering it, but the kit is just a rubber kit. No, but he was re-rubbering it. But it's not a re-rubber kit. But he's re-rubbering with a kit. Who's on first? Who? I don't know. I don't know, second base. No, third base. What's on second? Oh, what? Exactly. Oh, wow. Wow, I think he's in the bench. Yeah. I think he's in the bench. Yeah. But yeah, he came over and we got it mostly ready to rock and we're going to test it out this week. And then after that, I hope to bring out Victory so I can start figuring out what's going on with that. Victory. That was a great movie. That's the soccer one? Yes. But Sylvester Stallone. Yes. All of the following films are fictional. Any resemblance to actual people, living or dead, is coincidental and unintentional.

    The first question. Wow, this Stallone is incredible. Yes. Hold on. I've got a finest. That's going to drive me nuts. What was the guy's name? And they can't show him in the Predator pinball machine for some reason. He was another one that like you can't show him. Sunny, Sunny Landham. What movie was it? I could have swore it was Stallone. Age of First Blood, sir. Age of First Blood. He was in the Warriors? He was in Action Jackson? Wow. Lock Up. That's what it was. Yeah, Stallone. He was like the bad guy in prison or whatever. Hmm. Okay. Stallone. Lock Up. I love the poster. It's just like, Stolo, Lockup. A win, in any case. So, alright. Any more repairs? Is that it? That's all for me. I just got back this week and it was actually pretty smooth at the old RPC. I know everyone cried because I wasn't there all the time, but you know, it happens. Yeah, I'm sure they were crying. I'm sorry for crying.
