PodcastAnalysis updated 6d ago43 min listen
So you want to hear my top 5 favorite games huh? Consider your wish granted. All your dreams can be found within these audio walls. Come, listen, and regret. Support the show:...
Highlights
- Labyrinth by Barrels of Fun looks visually great from trailers but Jason hasn't played it or heard detailed gameplay/audio feedback yet
- Rocketman (Elton John theme) by JJP will be shown at Expo and is designed by Steve Ritchie
- Jason originally planned to attend Pinball Expo but cancelled to visit Door County, Wisconsin with his wife instead
- Stern Jurassic Park is Jason's #2 favorite game but he hasn't reviewed it in depth on the Pinball Party Podcast previously
- Stern Ghostbusters was initially disliked by Jason due to difficulty but he came to appreciate it over time after owning it in his home
- Jason owns Lord of the Rings multiple times and it's his #1 favorite pinball machine despite/because of its long gameplay
- Steve Ritchie designs have strong ramp shots that Jason finds satisfying to shoot
- Iron Man's custom audio mix with AC/DC is hosted on Pinside by Jason (code 1.86 Vault Edition)
Notable quotes
“Labyrinth looks great. I was never a labyrinth enthusiast movie, I should say. I wasn't opposed to it, but that was never one of my growing up movies”
“I wish I would be playing it at Expo. I initially was going to go to Expo, I had everything booked, was going to meet a bunch of people there... but balance in the life. I need to take a little step back from being obsessed with pinball”
“I absolutely love that game [Black Knight Sword of Rage Pro]. Well, I guess not absolutely because it's not in my top five... it's almost too shallow, like it's missing something after a while”
“The Warp ramp [in Star Trek]. It's so good. It's so smooth. Even when that game gets boring, I'm like, well, I'll just hit the ramps. They feel great”
“Ghostbusters has a lot to do. You can kind of pick and choose in a way... The difficulty I think is great... don't buy the hate of people talking about the flipper gap and all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's a fantastic game”
“Iron Man is my favorite simple game, even beyond Black Knight... It's great. When I said not just friends and family... I always have about 30 minutes like, alright chicken's cooking or broccoli's going”
“There isn't a pinball machine that theme means more to me than [Lord of the Rings]... Lord of the Rings is... a reminder to breathe, honestly”
“I have a list that says, Jason, do not, don't buy that again... We'll talk about that... top worst five, or don't buy these ever again games”
