Local legend Cory Butcher joins us on the show to defend his love for the 1992 Gottlieb game, Cue Ball Wizard. On paper this game sold well, and earned well back in the day, but for some reason it hasn't aged so well in the 30 years since its release.  Thankfully Butcher is here to educate all of us.
As is tradition, profanity is used throughout the episode.

In this episode we dive deep into the pinball career of one of pinball's most successful designers. Barry designed over 30 pinball machines in the solid state era, sold obscene amounts of his designs, single handedly saved pinball in 1984, and was always a team player and a kind and willing collaborator.  Despite all this, he's almost forgotten about in the modern-day discussion of pinball design legends, and we talk about why in this episode.

But in case you don't know by now, adult language is used in the episode so sensitive ears be warned.

It took me awhile, but the second episode of my pinball economics series is finally here, and I am exploring the concept of "value" as it pertains to the business of pinball operating.   It all starts with: Is looking at the coinbox overrated?
I hope you all enjoy this second deep dive into the life of pinball operating and the underlying economics of the venture, but as usual...some adult language is used in the process.
