Our good friend and solid state pinball guru, Ty Palmer joins us for the first episode in our two part series on the Williams System 11 platform, a pinball board set and software framework that massively changed the game of pinball.

Larry Demar designed and engineered this groundbreaking system, and programmed many of the best games from this era too.  It spanned 5 years from 1986 to 1991, and includes 30 pinball machines.

We discuss the first 15 of them in this episode including highlights like High Speed, Pinbot, Banzai Run, Grand Lizard, and more.

This era marks the change from classic to modern, and is the grandfather of all the machines we see to this day. System 11 is to pinball what Black Sabbath is to all subsequent metal bands.

Listen up, this is a good one!
