Silver Ball Century ep. 32 - Spring 1980
I'm naming the four episodes of 1980 after the seasons, and now I'm realizing my inaccuracy. This episode includes tables released from April to June 1980. And the first licensed Star Wars table, The Empire Strikes Back, was released in June 1980, in the fall/winter, because it is from Australia, in the Southern Hemisphere.
Licensed themes are all well and good, but I have a soft spot for very cool original themes, and we've got that with Seawitch, which is just an excellent table that was influential enough to be remade in 2016 as Stern Pinball's Beatles.
Silver Ball Century goes live today (Thursday, August 7) at 8pm Eastern, on twitch.tv/arborelia.
