Roger Sharpe,
The Man Who Saved Pinball

Author, editor, professional pinball player, game designer, and activist.

Sharpe gained notoriety following a 1976 New York City hearing where he provided a demonstration to members of the Manhattan City Council, that pinball was a game of skill rather than a game of chance, and therefore not subject to legal prohibitions on gambling. This was the basis for the movies “The Man Who Saved Pinball”.

Sharpe has written about pinball most his life, designed the pinball machines Sharpshooter and Cyclopes, was co-founder of PAPA (Professional Amateur Pinball Association), and serves as co-chair of IFPA (International Flipper Pinball Association).
