Silver Ball Century ep. 36 - Mid-1981
The thing I want to share up front, from this episode, is the incredible flyer that advertised Bally's Fathom, introducing the story of the table's theme in a comic drawn by Bally artist Kevin O'Connor:
We'll see the story continue on the "world under glass" of the playfield itself.
I'm also excited for "Li'l Devil", the controllable post between the flippers on Fireball II, which shouts "Bang! Pow! Zap!" in the Speak-and-Spell voice when you fire it.
