  • Pentagogo 2023 featured approximately 200 machines spanning from 1930s wood rails to Venom
  • Queen pinball has build quality concerns including non-functional locks and a weak up-kicker mechanism
  • Godfather JJP is well-designed but feels 'subdued' compared to other JJP titles like Guns N' Roses and Willy Wonka
  • Sega Maverick is criminally underrated with a complex ruleset, but suffers from a slow paddle wheel animation
  • All Gottlieb DMD-era games are 'universally bad' in design quality
  • Mark Musler's only owned pinball machine (or primary one historically) is Black Hole

  • There was no Willy Wonka, Dialed In, or Hobbit at Pentagogo 2023

Notable quotes

“It's just a big room full of pinball machines and a big room full of your buddies.”
Dan
“The fact is he is a total casual, too. Like, he's not a pinball collector... it's a really interesting perspective when you're surrounded by hardcore pinheads probably all the time.”
Spencer
“if you get two balls in there, it couldn't keep up, and it would just eject one with, like, ridiculous force.”
Dan
“like, it was super cool... And then it's like, oh, man, this is a takeaway. My time is done. I'll be fine. I'm going to call my dentist.”
Dan
“it felt like maybe, like, it needed a little more time in the oven to be perfectly done.”
Mark
“Every game deserves to be loved by somebody. But I'm going to say this... That game sucks.”
Dan
“It's not just, okay, well, they got a Medieval and an Attack from Mars... you're going to see games that, you know, other than GSPF, you don't see much of anywhere.”
Dan
“it was a really interesting perspective when, you know, you're surrounded by hardcore pinheads probably all the time, and you watch his content.”
Spencer
