#68 Silverball Rumble - The Classic Pinball Podcast

George and Dr. Dave attended the Silverball Rumble tournament at Pintastic in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, a classic pinball tournament featuring five EM and early solid-state games. Dave qualified 16th out of 24 and advanced through head-to-head match play against Zach Fray (a Slam Tilt podcast co-host and pinball enthusiast from Rochester), winning on Electronimo and Card Whiz but losing on Sea Witch, Blackjack, and Total Nuclear Annihilation in a competitive best-of-five match. The episode captures qualifying play, tournament logistics, player matchups, and the tension of competitive pinball.
