Highlights
- Zombie Yeti is objectively the best pinball artist in the industry since Ghostbusters
- Venom art package is not in Zombie Yeti's top three works; Ghostbusters is his best
- Brian Eddy's Venom layout is the most vanilla/quintessential fan layout, even more so than Medieval Madness or Attack from Mars
- Venom will be Brian Eddy's best-shooting Stern game in terms of shot geometry
- Pro model lacks 180-degree ramp and several mechanical features that Premium/LE models have
- First time Dwight Sullivan and Raymond Davidson have worked together as co-lead programmers
- 180-degree ramps are being overused in modern Stern designs as a space-saving measure
- John Borg's Munsters 180-degree ramp is one of the few well-executed examples of the mechanic
Notable quotes
“I would say undoubtedly that Zombie Yeti, that is Jeremy Packer, is the best artist in pinball and has been for since he came aboard on Ghostbusters.”
“I'm not going to lie. There's nothing inspiring about this layout.”
“This will be Brian Eddy's best shooting stern game, and I don't think that's going to be close.”
“I'm just sick and tired of a 180 ramp. Plus, most times they feel clunky anyway.”
“I think you'll disagree with me, and that's fine. Maybe most of the listeners will, too. Have we jumped the shark yet on the 180 ramp?”
“It's well done. I mean, come on. It's Jerry. He knows what he's doing. You can't argue like the – at least I don't feel.”
“Ghostbusters number one, really any iteration. I love the art package on Ghostbusters.”
“The art is very informational. So for me, information trumps all.”
