Episode Summary
Joe Balcer is a name that some people know, and some people don't. Joe spent his early beginnings at Sega Pinball, then Stern Pinball, and he basically helped start Jersey Jack Pinball. He’d then he started up another company called American Pinball. Joe has been around; he's worked for many bosses in many companies, and he's made some memorable layouts. Joe's not necessarily known as a ‘high flow, quick ball movement’ kind of guy. His designs tend to be more stop and go or as some people like to call him, The King Of Clunk.
