Kineticist’s take
Jason's podcast on 5 games to avoid owning again, with news on Labyrinth, Elton John, and Alien toppers.
Synopsis
Jason from Pinball Party Podcast discusses five pinball games he will not buy again due to various gameplay, design, and financial reasons. Before diving into his list, he covers recent expo news including Barrels of Fun's Labyrinth gameplay reveal, a Jersey Jack Pinball Elton John/Rocketman teaser, and a Stern Alien themed topper with interactive features. He critiques games including Elvira's House of Horrors, Total Nuclear Annihilation, Attack from Mars remake, TMNT, and Star Wars (Pro) for issues ranging from design philosophy and flipper latency to poor secondary market performance.
