Thank You to Everyone!
« on: November 24, 2013, 06:22:49 PM »
Hello all,

  I just wanted to send a word of thanks to everyone who helped to put on the SPF! You all did a great job and it was wonderful to have a chance to see everyone and play so many pins, including the new ones (I thought Stern's Star Trek was fantastic with great call-outs, gameplay, and quite lovely to view)!

  I think, though, the two biggest surprises to me were:

1).  Williams Hyperball

2).  Gilligan's Island - yep, I said it!   :-)

  At any rate, thank you all!

Yeah, show was great!  I especially enjoyed seeing Class of 1812,  Sharp Shooter, and a few other titles I don't see that often.

Great show, I was very impressed with the wide variety of games, especially the support from the newer high end game community. Good cross section of classic em's also, something for everyone's tastes.

Much appreciation to the people that hauled their collection to the show for us to play.  Really enjoyed playing many games that I've always read about but never had the opportunity to experience, especially Metallica and Star Trek.  Looking forward to the next show.

Thanks again!

I also really enjoyed Gilligans Island  along with Fire. 2 underrated titles. Great show, It was nice to see  and play Stat Trek Le and WOZ ruby red editions.

A catalytic converter prevented me from making it down there... >:(

Looked like a great show from the YT videos and the streams I watched.  Thanks to whoever made the seminar streams available.  Good stuff.
Nice turnout of games and some fast and furious pinball competition.  Hard to beat that guy it seems.

glad you enjoyed the Hyperball. You will never see these running at shows. My horse ran the entire weekend flawlessly non-stop. I am very happy many experienced to play a nice example of this fine game.

Yes, Marcel I loved the Hyperball.  Thank you. It was a great experience.  What a cool machine.

Thanks to the organizers of SPF and everyone who brought their pinball machines. Great selection, great venue.
I really had a nice time with some friends who came over with me.  A few introduced to our hobby.  They seemed to really enjoy themselves.

Gilligan's Island was much better than everyone makes it out to be (hit the ramp for 50,000,000 three times!) - Hyperball was crazy also -

Thanks for another great year, the t-shirts were nice this year as well - see you next time at FPF
