What a great show this was with some clear bangers and some not so clear haha. Here's my thoughts on the whole thing! donspinballpodcast@gmail.com
Kineticist’s take
TL;DR
Expo 2025 recap: Metallica dominates, Alice impresses visually but disappoints gameplay-wise, homebrew section expands significantly.
Synopsis
Don recaps Expo 2025, declaring Metallica the game of the show due to massive popularity and enthusiasm, while critiquing Alice in Wonderland's gameplay despite excellent presentation. He discusses emerging manufacturers targeting casual markets (Wonderland Amusements' $800 pinball concept), homebrew innovations, and various vendor booths, with particular excitement about Spooky Pinball future releases and homebrew rethemes.
