Episode 141 – The Legend of Slippery Douglas

Hi, everyone. We’re back for episode 141. We talk a bit about Rush, Godzilla, INDISC, Jack Danger, Slippery Douglas, and touch on the upcoming TPF show.

We also give our thoughts on the passing of Lyman Sheats, who we lost recently and far too soon. We would love to hear about your favorite memories of Lyman if you have any, what games he worked on are your favorites, or any love you have to share about Lyman and his contributions to the pinball hobby and community.

If you have access to a Monster Bash, you should DEFINITELY play through the Lyman’s Lament hidden mode. Below are the instructions for starting the mode.

  • Start a new game.
  • Don’t launch the ball quite yet.
  • Flip both flippers at once 1 time.
  • Press the left flipper 11 times.
  • Press the right flipper 1 time.
  • Press the left flipper 5 times.
  • Press the right flipper 1 time.
  • Press the left flipper 6 times.
  • Press the right flipper 1 time.
  • If you hear Lyman say,”Totally!” you did it correctly.
  • Start the mode by shooting the scoop.

To all those who are feeling loss over Lyman’s passing, especially to those close to him, we offer up our condolences. Lyman was a true pioneer in pinball, a genuinely good person, and a genius that accomplished many things professionally and personally. Donations are being accepted in Lyman’s name for NAMI (https://nami.org) as a way to remember him by showing support for those who struggle with mental health conditions and challenges.
