Secondly, covering the entire show is next to impossible for one person (Martin), as the show has arguably gotten too big to really see everything. At least Sunday you are only missing a half day, compared to many players missing much of Friday and Saturday. Every player in the tournament is sacrificing time away from the main hall, be it the Wizards, Classics, Women, etc. Jennifer, I don’t really feel like this is fair. In the meantime, don’t forget to check out our thoughts on the show and all the new game launches in the March edition of the Pinball Industry News PINcast we do with Pinball Magazine which will be released in the first few days of April and will include some special interviews conducted during the show.

That’s not including the hundreds and hundreds of collector games, the History of Pinball exhibition, the dozens of vendor stands, the homebrew games, the amazing restorations, all the seminars, the TWIPY awards and the many pinball stars attending and happy to talk about their latest projects. ![]() Plus, you could catch up with what Haggis Pinball have been doing with their Fathom Revisited and find out about Turner Pinball’s plans for their Ninja Eclipse and future games.
