Great to see you again my friend! I worked for Pat for a few years, and he is a true gamming genius. Listen from about 5:20 on, that's what gamming is all about. We spent months upon months working hard at making sure people would have fun, and when designing appliances, I spent the same time saving a penny on the Bill of Material. I labored days at intricate lamp effects to be timed with every explosion and every beat of sound, just so players would know how cool they were, and every day my wife would ask, "what are you doing today", and I would answer, "I'm going to make people have fun". That has always been Pat's goal, it was a cool job.

Pat you’re a legend! Also it’s time for a hair cut. Cheers mate!

Guy is my favorite designer

It interesting to hear insight on the development of these games. I know it’s an insane amount of work to bring something like this to market.

Cool that y'all got to talk to him!

Nice to see you're still at it.

Please consider doing a "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", so many possibilities. Thx.

interesting, thanks for the video guys!

Pat, Didn't Scott Danesi engineer and build the TNA pinball pretty much on his own? I know 'another' company backed and built it for production but he pretty much had it built and was taking it around to Pinfest events or am I misinformed?

i went to a pool hall today that has serious embraced the pinball renaissance. they have 87 games. i played dailed in and no good goofers. pat lawlor is a pinball machine designing gem. the other person i really appreciate is steve ritche. i have a firepower AND a high speed. steve ritche is awesome.

I wonder what he would do differently with his first machine (Banzai Run) with all his experience in the industry now. The game is so raw potential and, like Black Hole, had innovations that could be really refined and improved with today's tech and pinball design history. Since Earth Shaker and Funhouse got "sequels" with Whirlwind and Roadshow, I'd be keen on a Banzai Run sequel.

Pat rocks

Wonka is Absolutely a Phenomenal pinball machine!! Just odd that the entire back box isn’t lit !!!!

Love Ripleys Believe It or Not !!!! Pat is a Legend!!! Toy Story is coming!!!

I think these modern pinballs have lost the plot. I’ve played the new Star Wars machines from Stern and Willy Wonka and they don’t hold a candle to The Addams Family and Fun House classics. It’s not about these stupid mini games that are displayed on a big screen that you never look at, it’s about the craft of the pinball field and it’s pure design. Don’t give us these cheap gimmicks that try to add fluff when it isn’t needed. My point is keep the team small like it used to be, go back to what made the original machines great. I tell you all they need to do is re release the Addams family and it’s sales will blow away these new pinballs, there is a reason for that. Medieval madness is another! Stick to the basics, no one wants big screens and digital gimmicks.

As a 3D animal artist I would love to design my own concept piece into a pinball.

When did Pat dump Stern?

NOT SURE WHY BUT A DISNEYWORLD THEME LIKE THE PARK. IM SURE ITS ABOUT THE LICENSE

Bankrupt like Jack! Lol!

Pinball used to be created by six people? Not quite. Bally/Williams employed hundreds of people to manufacture them.

Exit lanes and wide flipper gaps don’t belong in Home Use Pinball. You have already gotten my money when i bought the pin, now let me play!!!

That H tho...

The most painful combover on the interweb

Looks like a good pinball machine, not a fan of the theme tho.

Ha ha ha felling her pain ???
