It's 1976 and pinball is legalized!
There's a huge boom in pinball tables from 1976 (and we'll see even more in 1977). So I'll be splitting 1976 into two streams, one of them tonight (Monday) at 8pm Eastern, the second part on Thursday at 8pm.
Notes on particular tables coming up:
- Aztec is the table that my wife @FlannelKat had in her childhood home, she introduced me to it and it rules
- Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy (does the full name of this table even appear on it?) is one of my favorite EM tables. It's the second table in the Tommy-verse and also a celebrity-licensed table, featuring Elton John the Pinball Wizard. It's unfortunate that the table artist was an edgy fascism-enjoyer, though.
- Sure Shot is a version of Bank Shot, the table that Roger Sharpe played in a courtroom and made the skill shot that saved pinball
- I'm aware that Canada Dry is just El Dorado with worse rules. Many things are just El Dorado with worse rules. I still need to play the ginger ale table though
