Season 12, Episode 24

We’re cutting it rather close at the following link.

I sure do love pinball! Look, for the first 30 minutes of this episode we talk about what the others guys played during the week, then for the second 30 minutes, I take it all over just trying to say I played 3 games. Except, one of those was pinball and it sparked a long tangent of talk – all about pinball.

For a good while growing up, there was a pinball machine in my house. And I played it from time to time. But that’s not when I got hooked. It wasn’t until sometime in the early 90s. I was on a trip with my parents to Knoxville, TN. We’d stopped for the night in Helen, GA. Helen’s one of the nicer tourist traps that I can remember. Anyway, just across the street from the motel was a miniature golf place, if I remember right, and inside was a single pinball machine. That’s when it started for me. The machine was called FUNHOUSE. And it hooked me.

What hooked you? When did it happen? Was it a particular game, or a genre? What’s your “pinball” story?

It’s something I think we’ll talk about in the next episode and we’d love to tell your story.
