Pat Lawlor innovates and designs games that reflect their era wonderfully. His innovation is often stifled by the company he works for. Dialed in has a wonderfully interactive phone, a truly innovative theatre, and a moving target that is multifunctional in that helps and hinders the player, and a unique approach toward lighting and flipper manipulation. It is the most innovative pin since Bally let him loose in the engineering candy store. His less innovative designs are due to Stern's bottom line approach, even when they were doing well.
