    If anyone cares, Keith Elwin, the world champion pinball player in this video, has now become one of the best pinball machine designers in the world, for the pinball company Stern. So far, he has designed Iron Maiden, Jurassic Park, Avengers Infinity Quest, and Godzilla pinball machines, widely considered some of the best games available. That's as of Spring 2022; more to come in the future.

      Godzila , Iron Maiden ,and JP are 3 excellent games! AIQ is really good

      That's where I heard that name. Stern has lead in the current market but I'm not a fan of everything. If I get replays on the machines I'm happy. Otherwise I don't think a game is great.

    I'm not half or even as third or a quarter a good as Keith Elwin, but when I play pinball, people's jaws drop. I have to correct people when they use the 'pinball wizard' honorific at me, but it just goes to show what a unique skillset this game requires. It's the Chess of the videogame world, if that makes sense. There are very few arcade games left when you can go fifteen minutes on fifty cents and have people jumping up and down alongside you, and that's something that pinball will have forever.

      It's a load of horseshit, not only am I the best who ever plays/played a pinball machine I'm also the self-professed best in any sport of all times. Yeah not just G.O.A.T but the greatest who ever played any sport of all time. Don't listen to this horseshit, yeah we all remember Keith with his stupid comments on rec.games.pinball as "slamtilt" talking about me Tommy TUTALIDGE. Here's the real Tommy me:

      Actually, for a weekends work, it's not bad. A major pinball tournament is played over 3 days, staring on Friday qualifying. Then saturday trying to get into to 16. Then sunday Finals, if you get there, going all the way. Not an easy task. A battle long fought.
