Waterworld as it is becoming quite a rarity?

Fully shopped and Waterworld is a good game plus a great looker.

Anyone got an opinion about John Borg versus Steve Ritchie for the number one spot as top pinball designer at Stern ?

Ritchie Vs Borg:  Borg for me.

Borg games have a way of looking simple, but being fun (lots of feel good shots).  He manages to do more with less.  I also find Borg's games have more randomness in them, especially with his regular use of magnets.  There is something about ball unpredictability that I like *!@.

I'm one that goes with the flow.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter who is better. Both great guys and SR probably has better retirement things on his mind.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

Yes, absolutely spot on desccription about Borgys designs.

Steve Ritchies ACDC Pro to me is an absolute stroke of genius, as is his Black Knight 2000 to name a few.

He still rides Moto X bikes and other assorted thrill seeking activities.
Not bad at his age.
I wonder if he wants to retire or will he want to work and keep designing tables till he drops.
A pretty amazing life Steve has had.
He is definately a rockstar in the pinball industry.
