Synopsis
The Bash Pinball hosts recount their trip to Richmond Pinball Collective, discussing their experiences playing older electromechanical and early solid-state games like Gorgar, Centaur, Wipeout, and NBA Fast Break. They praise the arcade's well-maintained machines and highlight how proper maintenance and flipper quality dramatically improved their appreciation for vintage games. The episode includes restaurant recommendations, introduction of a new producer (Diane), and reflections on how games like NBA Fast Break lower the barrier to entry for non-pinball enthusiasts.
