Notable quotes
“I don't think most pinball people understand the word value. That could be the case. But they're very much a shiny, I like it, I want it.”
“Star Wars wasn't the most loved pinball machine that's come out of Stern recently. Doesn't matter... They'll sell every single one of them, and it'll go fast. Because it's pinball people. Pinball people snap that stuff up.”
“Black Knight Sword of Rage Pro is my favorite of the three Black Knight games in the trilogy... It's hard and it's about the Black Knight.”
“I would say that Sword of Rage Pro is my favorite of the three Black Knight games... The shots are challenging. It's really brutal.”
“I think Star Trek has the most games that are really good... all of them are fun.”
