This episode is all about the rise and fall of one of pinball's most magnificent and enigmatic designers, Mr. John Popadiuk Jr., sometimes better known as JPOP in pinball nerd circles.  He made a string of some the absolute best games in the 1990s including World Cup Soccer, Theatre of Magic, Tales of the Arabian Nights, and Cirqus Voltaire.

But after the closure of Williams' pinball division, and his last production game Star Wars Episode One for the Pinball 2000 platform, the story gets really exciting, sad, and interesting.

Obligatory curse word warning, just like all of our episodes.
