Memory Machine #59 - The Birth of Pinball
This week, Ethan Johnson returns as we talk about the next great chapter in arcade game history: the birth of Pinball (or Pigeonhole, if you must). It's a big topic with an appropriately long runtime, so get ready to fill your ears with a lot of ballyhoo! (pun is ABSOLUTELY intended.)
Ethan excellent blog is The History of How We Play.
You can follow Ethan on Twitter at @GameResearch_E.
And here's a trailer for the documentary series Ethan is working on, Arcade Dreams:

Special shoutout to Dutch chiptune composer RoccoW, who graciously allowed me to use his track "FamiFunk Over Breakfast" as the theme for this episode. Check him out on Spotify – Soundcloud – Youtube – Facebook – Twitter .
