Notable quotes
“Anybody get a flat tire this week? Email us at thepinballnetwork at gmail.com if you received a flat tire this week. Flat tires always suck.”
“July is free pinball month. So take that, overinflated Gen X market.”
“I love a game that the orbits are so smooth and laser quick that often times when players first step up to it, the ball gets by the flippers before they have a chance to flip because of the speed.”
“I don't like the exit of that ship... I need something else... Maybe you expose the magnet there and when the balls drop out, they fall lock on that magnet. Twirl around.”
“They are selling some damn pinball machines, y'all. They are selling a bunch of pinball machines. They're selling so many damn pinball machines that can't keep up with how many pinball machines are ordered and sold.”
“November feels pretty warm. Q4, holiday sales. November feels good. But it wouldn't surprise me if we did get another released title from Stern Pinball that we may see it in December.”
“Jurassic Park sits at number two of the all-time best reviewed pinball machines per pinside.com... is it as pretty as medieval madness hell no does it sound as good as medieval madness... hell no.”
“The assets video and audio integrated into this game are unmatched by most any pinball machine ever made”
