Yes, he was our one and only VIP at that first 2002 festival and has been a part of every show since then. It almost never happened!
Steve originally gave a hard NO to Craig when he first approached him. That’s when Jennifer Morrison stepped in after finding out that Steve had Daughter duty that weekend while, his wife, Diana was in NYC. The solution was Shopping and Horseback riding with Jennifer for the weekend and the rest is history.
Play any Steve Ritchie game and you will understand why he’s the Master of Flow!
What I remember about meeting Steve the first time is that he’s just a regular guy that loves designing pinball machines and most importantly he’s humbled by a group of folks that treat him like a “Rock Star”.
Steve will return to TPF2024 to visit with guests and fans. Now a member of Jersey Jack Pinball, they just released Elton John and there will be some to play in the JJP booth.
Some of Steve’s hits include: Elton John, Black Knight: Sword of Rage, Black Knight2000, Black Knight, Firepower, Terminator 2, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Terminator 3, Elvis, Spider-Man, AC/DC, Star Trek, Game of Thrones and the ever popular High Speed 2/the Getaway.
Steve absolutely wants to see you, play some pinball, and sign your Steve Ritchie pinball memorabilia.
