Free Play Florida report…

Cold and wet day out, my primary project canceled and the weather made me want to go back to bed. Threw the kid in the car and headed for tourist town for FPF.

High point was to meet and get autographs from Howard Scott Warshaw. Author of Yars Revenge, E.T. and Raiders of the Lost Ark for Atari 2600. So that was a cool opportunity. Cool to see Throw Back! Jai-Alai Heros in real life. Great game, love to see this indie stuff. Great to see so many happy helpful people running the show. More pinball machines than I’ve seen in a very long time.
