    Space Mission was my first pinball, used to have a nice little gameroom once upon a time.

    Sad addition to history. Thanks for posting OG, i wouldn't have made the connection otherwise.

    Personally, I think the Who should dedicate a performance of "Pinball Wizard' to him.

    Really impressive that a guy who "had first been hired to perform soldering work" for a pinball manufacturer ended up revolutionizing the game.....

    I know of a fella who began work at IBM as a janitor. He retired from the engineering department very highly revered and respected, and holding a number of patents. He continues to work part time as a master technician for a high end audio dealer where he is considered a "genius". There is a waiting line for his technical expertise.

    These kinds of folks are rare, but there are surely some among us.
