I came back home, bought my first machine, and from that moment on, it’s been all pinball, all the time. Machines have come and gone, and through the years, I’ve learned a lot about what I love in a game and what just doesn’t stick. But here’s the problem: I still struggle with deciding what stays and what goes. With limited space and an endless list of games I want to own, it’s a constant battle. In this episode, I take a deep dive into my current collection, the games that didn’t make the cut, and whether I regret letting any of them go. If you’ve ever wrestled with tough pinball choices, this one’s for you! Let’s talk collecting, decision-making, and the never-ending search for the perfect lineup. LEAVE ME A VOICEMAIL AND I MIGHT PLAY IT ON THE SHOW! https://www.speakpipe.com/RetroRalphVM","meta_description":"It all started with one trip to Pinball Expo—just one.
