TWIPY Awards! Thank you for your consideration.

Jan 4, 2025 | Pinball, FWB Appearances

I’ve had the honor of seeing the pinball game, Barry O’s Barbecue Challenge, listed as a candidate for this year’s TWIPY awards. I have no delusions about winning as not many people have even played the game, much less reviewed it. However, the listing proves I’ve accomplished something worthwhile, which can never be taken away from me.

Remember to go to the website https://twipys.com/ to vote for your favorite pinball contributors, and if you are inclined to give a vote or two to Barry’s game, I appreciate it.
