Summary
BlahCade hosts critique Zen Pinball's early tables for unclear design and poor usability.
Chris and Jared from BlahCade discuss Australian slang, then pivot to a critique of Zen Pinball's early table designs (Eldorado, V12, Shaman, Tesla) from the PS3 era, highlighting poor visual clarity, cryptic rule implementations, misaligned inserts, and weak tutorials that make these tables frustratingly difficult to learn despite interesting concepts.
Still no news about what's happening with WMS, so in this episode, we go back in time to one of the first table releases that Zen Studios published: El Dorado. We delve into the history of releases that Zen Studios have produced and how their table design DNA almost marry up with the history of pinball table design in real life.See for show notes and segment timings.
