Notable quotes

“Jersey Jack himself has finally confirmed this rumor that it is Sonic, it is happening on the 23rd.”
Don
“I want to buy that game just because I want to play that Last Mission...I bought a Gottlieb Street Fighter just because I wanted to listen to the music.”
Jengiz
“For the last 10 years, this is going to be the first new unboxed release game that I am not going to unbox.”
Jengiz (referring to Transformers)
“Those toys, they look like, you know, kids toys that you get from McDonald's for free...These toys, I mean, for McDonald's, for free, they're more detailed.”
Jengiz
“I don't care if it's on Star Wars. I don't care if it's on Cosmic Cart Racing on the Immaculate P3 platform. I love that technology.”
Jengiz
“Transforming playfield areas is really like where innovation should be...if you can make an area do three or four different things like on Circus Voltaire, that's how you can add some interesting complexity.”
Jengiz
“Why don't you do it? Grab the ball. The worm who could grab the ball on Beetlejuice and come up, act like a pop bomber or a scoop or whatever.”
Don (to Jengiz)
“The games are already super limited, you know, like they already sell out right away...they're looking at what they can do to make a limited version that maybe it's got art the other ones don't have.”
Jengiz
“You're ambassador for pinball, man. You're the positive voice and love of pinball. I don't get it.”
Don (to Jengiz)
“What if the game was called Magnets and there was no magnets in it? What if it was called like Crazy Loops and there's no Crazy Loops?”
Don
