Notable quotes

“It's by far their best game, much better than The Hobbit, even better than Dialed In. Really good. People who don't play it just don't recognize its greatness.”
Dan
“It's a step above and beyond and it really shows where they're going. Their direction they're going as a company and I applaud them. Can't wait to see what they do next.”
Brian
“Sell a kidney, you know, rent out the kids. What do you got to do, man? Get that game in your house because it's pretty amazing.”
Spencer
“I feel like it's – I call it B-Witch because it's sort of like C-Witch.”
Spencer
“It would be like Sea Witch on LSD. There you go. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.”
Alex
“I think that Beatles definitely warranted an original design, and I think that a Sea Witch remake or a Sea Witch remaster, whatever you want to call it, would have been cooler independently.”
Dan
“It's not like an Iron Maiden where you're like, oh, man, I didn't know this was possible. It's not like a Ghostbusters or something where you're like, wow, look at all the crap on this game. It's just kind of like it's got some good shots.”
Spencer
“One of the top things you hear from people all the time about modern pinball, this has been going since the 90s, is it too complicated, too complex. I don't know what to do.”
Spencer
“There is nothing from the movie in this game. This is all comic book based.”
Spencer
“The more pinball is good pinball. And it's getting a ton of press. I've seen it popping up on my homepage on my phone, excuse me, all the time.”
Spencer
