Cyclopes was ABSOLUTELY the best design to go into production during the industry doldrums period between '83 and '85 (though LNM could have topped it, if only it had the chance).

Surely the man's greatest achievement though has been helping to get the pinball ban in New York City lifted in 1976.

1. Spelling nit: "alluded", not "eluded". One means "indirectly implied", the other means "avoided".

2. Roger, you rock on so many levels; never met you, would like to sometime. Come on out to the Pacific Pinball Expo this year! biggrin.gif

Roger's fun to watch play. He's very animated and really gets into his pinball. Here's a little footage I took at last year's Chicago Pinball Expo ...

I think Barracora is one of the most beautiful pinballs I've ever seen. I saw a fully restored one at a show and it was spectacular. The artwork on it is some cool stuff.
