In Episode 19 of The Pinball Studio Podcast, I sit down with Michael Thomasson, who once held the world record for the largest video game collection in the world. Michael is also a college professor, author, historian, and fellow pinball enthusiast. In this episode we dive into his incredible story, how his legendary collection came to be, and discuss some of the books he has written along the way. It’s a fun conversation about gaming history, collecting, and of course a little pinball.   You can purchase all of Michael’s books at https://michaelthomasson.com
