    FS "HUO" Stellar Wars

    For sale is my “HUO” Stellar Wars for $1800. Many of you who have been to the second Canada PinCon would remember playing this game in the IFPA sanctioned tournament. This mostly removes the HUO concept from the game, but there’s a little more. This game has an interesting history to it….. My...

    Contemplating Canada PinCon 2018

    I need to sign the papers but it will be the first weekend in June for a two day event (June 2-3). I would do a three day event if there were a lot more people coming from a long distance especially the Toronto crowd, but without the attendance the fees would go outside my budget. I have...

    What if Steve Young.......

    What if Steve Young was to close his doors, sell Pinball Resource or heaven forbid pass away? From what I understand regarding his company, his books are mostly stored in his head. How would an event like one of these effect the hobby/industry?
