Kineticist’s take
Classic Pinball Podcast Thanksgiving episode rates Bally games as "turkeys" and explores El Toro restoration.
Synopsis
George and Dave of The The Classic Pinball Podcast host a Thanksgiving-themed episode featuring two segments: a "Turkey or Not" game rating exercise for classic Bally machines and modern pinball games, followed by gameplay and restoration discussion of El Toro, a rare early-1970s Bally single-player machine. The hosts debate which games are quality versus duds, with George expressing strong preferences for simpler, more reactive gameplay over complex rule sets.
