Modern Man in Search of High Scores

The Addams Family vs Terminator 2

Modern Man in Search of High Scores is back — and Season 2 is coming in hot. Lawrence Adams and Dean Roblee return with a brand new format that's about to change the way you think about classic machines. This isn't just a podcast anymore. It's a showdown. Kicking off the season, Lawrence and Dean debut the head-to-head format with one of the greatest matchups pinball has ever seen: The Addams Family vs. Terminator 2. Two of the most iconic machines ever to grace an arcade floor. Two legends of the golden era. One episode to settle it. They're breaking down what makes each machine a classic, what separates them, and — most importantly — which one reigns supreme. The gloves are off, the flippers are ready, and things are about to get competitive. All the pinball and arcade news you've come to love is still here, but Season 2 is playing a whole new game. Whether you're a die-hard collector, a casual player, or someone who's been chasing that high score since the '90s, this is the episode that sets the tone for what's coming. Buckle up — Modern Man in Search of High Scores is just getting started. ** Legal Stuff ** Break by Abbynoise Music from #Uppbeat [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/uppbeat] https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/break [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2FsMjB5bjhscnhULTh5TFJ2RkZhNXd0cHFDd3xBQ3Jtc0ttdWFLQnpKX2djWEtTZDQxb0lBSVE5ZzhxVG1IUTVKcC0zSHdYZ1JxRUo4S2xXTEFSNTZ1UHlNLVdYMENadHRJVUFyUk91MzNrRkkwQU5LMUpCWE5pNE9kYmF6N0RxZHY1ZG9XRE1pbFo0RUd3NDg2WQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fuppbeat.io%2Ft%2Fabbynoise%2Fbreak&v=1Wd5f5_xef8] License code: 2TE8B1NCXZ0IHVXE ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Unsolved Mysteries

It's also time to catch 'em all in arcade and pinball news. ** Show Notes ** The fight title Dean mentioned: https://youtu.be/tVWtyXQhdHQ ** Legal Stuff ** Break by Abbynoise Music from #Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/break License code: 2TE8B1NCXZ0IHVXE ** Legal Stuff ** Break by Abbynoise Music from #Uppbeat [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/uppbeat] https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/break [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2FsMjB5bjhscnhULTh5TFJ2RkZhNXd0cHFDd3xBQ3Jtc0ttdWFLQnpKX2djWEtTZDQxb0lBSVE5ZzhxVG1IUTVKcC0zSHdYZ1JxRUo4S2xXTEFSNTZ1UHlNLVdYMENadHRJVUFyUk91MzNrRkkwQU5LMUpCWE5pNE9kYmF6N0RxZHY1ZG9XRE1pbFo0RUd3NDg2WQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fuppbeat.io%2Ft%2Fabbynoise%2Fbreak&v=1Wd5f5_xef8] License code: 2TE8B1NCXZ0IHVXE ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
