Summary

Eclectic Gamers Episode 100: pricing corrections, market saturation concerns, Stranger Things rumor, and debate on retro display aesthetics.

Eclectic Gamers celebrates their 100th episode with a relaxed discussion covering personal life updates, water heater and plumbing repairs, video game purchases (Xbox Game Pass), and pinball industry topics. Key pinball discussions include corrected pricing for Kelts at $5,250 (not $6,000), sales projections amid heavy competition from used market inventory, a substantiated rumor about Stern acquiring Stranger Things pinball rights, and a deep analysis of whether classic alphanumeric displays could viably return in modern pinball given cost savings.

Video Games: The guys discuss the Universal Monsters Pack for Zen Studios' Pinball FX 3, Raw Thrills' The Walking Dead Arcade, and news coming out of the BlizzCon 2019 (namely Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2). Finally, Dennis and Tony have a discussion about the podcast, covering things like highlights and lowlights, and the behind-the-curtain challenges various episodes posed.
