The Pinball Podcast

We’ve made it to the Final Four, and it’s time to find out which two games will be going to the championship round. In our two match ups, we have Lord of the Rings facing off against Attack From Mars while Monster Bash and AC/DC duke it out in the second match up. Two modern Sterns versus two ’90s games from WIlliams. It doesn’t get much better than this.

• Lord of the Rings vs. Attack From Mars
• AC/DC vs. Monster Bash
