We're joined again on the show by Greg Freres whom we spoke to in the last episode, about the legendary Bally Art Department of the early solid state era.  But in this episode we focus our discussions on his ascension to head of the art department at Williams/Bally after the 1988 merger,  guiding them through their wild 1990s pinball renaissance until they closed their doors in 1999.

After about a decade in between of working in videogames and freelancing, he returned to pinball as the new art director at Stern, and quickly ushered in their own golden era of pinball with a return to hand illustrated art packages for their games.

Greg just retired after 40+ years in the pinball industry, and we had a blast talking to him again.  But we are all adults here so...sometimes our language gets a little bit spicy.
