Money rolled in, and out again, as Gallagher speculated on even bigger plays and enjoyed his vast wealth, spending it on classic cars, racehorses, art and cellars full of vintage wine and champagne.

Then in 1982, while trying to keep his head above rising debt, he spotted four opportunities that he was convinced would save him – the takeover of the 17-supermarket H Williams chain; a quick buy-and-sell of an assembled site on the corner of St Stephen’s Green and South King Street (now the site of the St Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre) and of another property at Earlsfort Terrace; and the resurrection of the Phoenix Park racecourse. All four deals were lined up like dominoes.

A prospective buyer for the St Stephen’s Green deal pulled out at the last minute and the dominoes fell one by one. Gallagher sold off personal assets – shares in racehorses and a private art collection – to try and pay off the banks, but it wasn’t enough; the banks called in their loans.

Pinball attracted a different crowd than video games like Defender (my new pal designed Defender and Stargate too,) and this is the fundamental theorem of pinball economics. Pinball skill is transferrable. If you can pass, stall, nudge, and aim on one machine you can do it on any machine. This is both a blessing and a curse for pinball developers. The blessing is that pinball players were a captive market. The curse was that to keep the pinball players interested the games had to get more and more intricate and challenging.

Mr Corcoran opened Korky's on Grafton Street 15 years ago when the rent was €100,000 a year. His rent has risen to €445,000 a year for a retail space of 900sq ft — about the size of a small two-bedroom apartment.

Add in about €50,000 a year for rates and he has to find nearly €500,000 to trade on the premier shopping street. In his view it doesn't make sense. His battle with his landlords may end up in the courts. Proceeding have been issued by Canada Life.

Mr Corcoran has offered to pay €300,000 to anyone willing to buy out his lease on the Grafton Street pitch. He first made the offer a year ago. He has not received a single offer.

"What galls me is that since I first came into Grafton Street it was still a beautiful place to visit and to spend money. It's been going steadily downhill," he added.

SJ: Apple was this incredible journey. I mean we did some amazing things there. The thing that bound us together at Apple was the ability to make things that were going to change the world. That was very important. We were all pretty young. The average age in the company was mid-to-late twenties. Hardly anybody had families at the beginning and we all worked like maniacs and the greatest joy was that we felt we were fashioning collective works of art much like twentieth century physics. Something important that would last, that people contributed to and then could give to more people; the amplification factor was very large.
