In every flipper
is a conflict of interest to design
games and then review the
games of other manufacturers. It
may be a conflict of interest, but
the truth of the matter really is a
question of whether or not Roger
Sharpe is a man of integrity and
honor.
In the opinion of this writer,
Roger Sharpe has all the honor
and integrity in the world, and I
believe that he would review the
games of any manufacturer,
whether he designed the game or
not, with an unbiased and inde-
pendent opinion. I also believe
We are going into our third
year in the vending business and
never before. knew that PLAY
METER existed. You need to
pack one in every new machine,
similar to Tide in the new
washer.
Also, a general business com-
ment: Foosball needs some TV
time. Any type of exposure
would be helpful, such as pur·
chased time (ads), or even having
it worked into a plot.

HELP!
We are in dire need of
schematics for the Fun Games'
BiPlane and are at a loss as to
who to write to! We have a copy
of Tom Howarth's article about
Fun Games' BiPlane in your
December 1, 1978 PLA Y METER
Update Edition.
We understand that Fun
Games is no longer in business
and are hoping that you may be
able to assist us in getting a copy
of the plans. Any help you would
be able to give us in this area
would be appreciated.

Roger Sharpe has done only good
for the pinball industry.
I think Roger's reputation as a
critic is just as important to him
as his reputation as a designer of
games.
