Silver Ball Century ep. 73 - Spring 1995 - 500 Fears
1995 continues to be a peak of pinball. Every Bally/Williams game this episode is an absolute banger, and there's still more to come in the remaining half of the year.
Theatre of Magic is a beloved game, maybe not for the depth of its ruleset, but for fun mechanisms, callouts, and general vibes. It might be the most quotable pinball game, especially for a game with an original theme.
Indianapolis 500 one-ups this with callouts that are commentary from actual Indy 500 commentators, and No Fear has a talking skull that shouts "PLAY BETTER" at you as you miss the shot and drain.
This is the second episode in our four-part journey through 1995 in pinball. Silver Ball Century goes live at 8:30pm, on Thursday, November 5, on twitch.tv/arborelia.
Next week's episode is a Tuesday episode!
