Summary
Steve Ritchie discusses Pulp Fiction pinball development, returning to design after 30+ years.
Steve Ritchie and Josh Sharpe discuss the development of Pulp Fiction pinball with hosts from LoserKid Pinball Podcast. Ritchie reveals his return to pinball design after decades away, working with Raw Thrills and Play Mechanix (led by George Gomez) in partnership with Chicago Gaming Company. The game features an intentionally retro 1980s aesthetic per Quentin Tarantino's direction, avoiding ramps and displays, with innovative mechanics like a motorized briefcase topper and modern rule depth disguised in classic packaging.
