The Spinner Is Lit - Episode 60 Bye Bye 2023 (1)
PodcastAnalysis updated 3d ago2 hr 29 min listen
we close out the year with fun pinball talk.
Highlights
- Bram Stoker's Dracula Mist Multiball was fixed after six months of non-functionality by identifying a broken solder joint in the switch matrix, combined with faulty optos.
- Transformers Pro is rarer than LE versions; most home Transformers machines are LEs (Decepticon or combo LE), with Pros primarily appearing in commercial locations like movie theaters.
- Stern released exactly three games in 2011: Transformers, Tron, and Rolling Stones.
- James Bond Pro code update .97 represents significant rules progression, with potential for .99 or 1.0 releases.
- Mark's team league (Bank Shot team) finished season one undefeated enough to skip the fifth round (Saw Ball) due to accumulated points.
Notable quotes
“whoever designed this mechanism was either an absolute genius or a certified wacko”
“the moral of the story is, you know, always check your basics”
“I'm always the most comfortable finding a crappy game for $2,500, $3,000 and fixing it up”
“the way that the code has progressed from the beginning of the game to where it is now is highly addicting”
“It forced me to run the playbook... forced me to stay on the topic”
