Random, but have you seen the documentary Insert Coin on the heyday of Williams and Midway? I'd love to hear your stories from working there.
There's another documentary called Tilt: The Battle to Save Pinball by Greg Maletec that describes what we were going through on the pinball side near the end. It's streamable on a few services.
The stories themselves? Way too many to relate. But it was certainly like the doc. A cutthroat company where anything could happen. But probably the most talented and creative group of engineers I've ever worked with.
