Episode 8 – Spotlight Series – Spanish Eyes with John Lee
This is the second episode in my pinball spotlight series. John Lee joins me again to talk about Spanish Eyes which was made by Williams in 1971 and 1972. I also talk with John about owning EMs and we talk briefly about another game called Granada which is not the same game but the art is very similar.
