Wedgehead defends Q-Ball Wizard as an underrated 1992 Gottlieb gem with vibes and gameplay depth.

Synopsis

Wedgehead A A Pinball Podcast hosts Alan and Alex defend Gottlieb's 1992 Q-Ball Wizard with guest Corey Butcher, who ranks it #50 on his all-time list despite it sitting at #307 on Pinside's rankings. The episode explores why this once best-selling System 3 Gottlieb game: with iconic cowboy-themed art, a centerpiece cue ball toy, and pool-themed gameplay: deserves reconsideration as a fun, earner-friendly machine with strong aesthetic appeal and accessibility.
