Episode 172 – The BZR Show

Steve Ritchie departure to Jersey Jack and Lyman Sheets' exit from Stern dominate Slam Tilt discussion.

Ron Hallett and Bruce Nightingale of the Slam Tilt Podcast discuss two major industry stories: Steve Ritchie surprise departure from Stern Pinball to Jersey Jack Pinball (announced August 2nd after resigning July 26th), and the revelation that programmer Lyman Sheets also left Stern at the end of the previous year. The hosts express skepticism about why Ritchie would leave Stern for Jersey Jack given the latter's production struggles and game design philosophy differences. They also cover Allentown Pinball Expo experiences, impressions of Ultraman and Halloween prototypes, and upcoming launch events.
