#117 Embryon - The Classic Pinball Podcast

George and Dave discuss and play Embryon, a rare 1982 Valley pinball game designed by Claude Fernandez. They cover the game's playfield layout, strategy (emphasizing target bashing and spinner play), design quirks (including a misplaced rubber and non-functional flipper save), rarity (2,200 units produced), and controversial 1980s marketing due to the artwork. They also briefly discuss two newly announced games: John Wick (Stern) and Blues Brothers (Jean-Paul de Win/boutique manufacturer), with negative commentary on the latter.
