DPP #217 "Beetlemania is here!!"

Don celebrates Beetlejuice's launch as a watershed moment for Spooky Pinball, marking their evolution into a world-class manufacturer rivaling Stern's premium releases. He recounts hosting an exclusive midnight launch party that sold 70 units in 13 minutes, shares hands-on gameplay impressions emphasizing exceptional flow and design, and argues that boutique manufacturers are now collectively siphoning significant market share from Stern, creating competitive pressure that could drive industry-wide quality improvements.
