Johnny Mnemonic with Special Guest h4ck3r-J

PodcastAnalysis updated yesterday
From the creator

Matt and Don welcome special guest h4ck3r-J to discuss (arguably) the best pinball game about hacker dolphins, 80gb hard drives, and NOT Dolph Lundgren. Games Discussed: Johnny Mnemonic, duh Contact...

Listen on BASH Pinball Podcast

Highlights

  • Johnny Mnemonic was developed concurrently with the movie, before the filmmakers saw the final cut
  • The dolphin (Jones) appears only as a small drawing on the backglass, not as a major playfield toy
  • The data glove toy in the game has a more significant role than it does in the movie
  • Johnny Mnemonic is one of George Gomez's flowiest games and among the flowiest 90s Williams games
  • The game feels 'cost-cutty' compared to other 90s Williams games like The Addams Family, lacking extensive toys

Notable quotes

“I think the shots are really satisfying. You have to do the left ramp, right ramp, or left ramp, right loop repeatedly. And that just feels great.”
Jay (h4ck3r-J)
“I think this is one of George Gomez flowiest games, and maybe one of the flowiest 90s games, because you can really play it on the fly.”
Speaker (Matt or Don)
“it's such a critical part of the movie... now i wish the game had a dolphin like a like a big sculpted dolphin”
Speaker
“Compared to other 90s Williams games, it does feel a little cost-cutty to me. there's not a lot of toys other than that data glove or anything there's no dolphin yeah there's no pink hand grenade”
Jay
“it was like this vetting process where people would come and hang out on our server for a while and like play with us and be like... do you want to join our clan and it's always this weird thing it's like well this person seems almost too good”
Jay
