This episode features former guest on the show, and dot matrix pinball programmer Greg Dunlap to discuss how Gary Stern ends up surviving TWO pinball extinction events at the turn of the millennium, and then another one at the end of the decade.

This is the only era in pinball's long history where there was only a single manufacturer in business.  Gary made a lot of tough calls and hard decisions to keep pinball alive during this dark age, and contrary to some popular belief, actually made quite a few awesome games during this period as well.

So sit back and listen up as we discuss and give our flowers to Gary Stern, the man who saved pinball in this episode.

Although we do cuss a little bit...
