Whoa, so Randy isn't a cartoon character drawn in crayon? Thats all I've known him by all these years! So he's a real person? That is like finding out that Santa or the Easter Bunny isn't real, but in reverse? Hmm.

Now we finally have a photo of the Creator and VP Legend Randy Davis.

Visual Pinball is a gift that keeps on giving. Thanks to Randy for Visual Pinball!

I'd like to echo all of the sentiments posted here. I don't know if you realize how many countless hours of entertainment and fun that you have provided for us pinball fanatics. It is not unusual for 5 or 6 of my pals to come around on a friday night with some beers and play pinball until the wee hours. I have friends that don't have pcs (I know) that stop by just to play some pinball. Releasing your masterpiece to the public as open source further displays what an awesome person you are. I don't really have words to express my personal gratitude. I hope that things are going well for you, you deserve it.

I used to spend my 15-20 hours of gaming per week on a variety of PC and console games. For the last 4 years it has been almost all pinball all the time. Thanks Randy, for allowing so many former pinheads and newbies to reconnect with the machines and memories this hobby delivers. You went from carving ice to the shaping of a Diamond of a program.

Thanks Randy! My cabinet wouldn't be the same without you. A real class-act going open source.

That's a good point you eluded to humid. I too would have spent a lot more money on games if it was not for this one free one. Nothing I have bought has keep my attention very long. Not half as long, not a quarter as long and not even a 16th as long. In fact everything else would probably fall into the 4 percentile relativity, except MAME. Screw a double steakhouse hamburger, That is the highest form of recognition one man can give another.

Randy Davis ruined my life.

He is guilty that my basement and garage are filled
with 17 flashing noisy old machines called pinball.

In 1993, Radio shack came out with a do-it-yourself pinball floppy, I wanted to buy a computer at that time.
Glad I held out till I came to your site in 2002. I am 71 years old and still love the silver ball.
thanking you is a big joy. Stanley
