Kineticist’s take
Father-son pinball rating discussion covers 60+ games, design philosophy, and community taste differences.
Synopsis
Retro Jango and his 14-year-old son Aslan rate pinball machines using a community-made Tiermaker list, discussing themes, gameplay, code quality, and design across 60+ games. They explore how licensing, designer reputation, bill of materials constraints, and playfield ergonomics shape game perception, with notable disagreements on titles like Stranger Things, Mandalorian, and Metallica. The episode provides casual but informed commentary on modern and classic pinball from a collector/operator perspective.
