The sixth issue of Quarter Up!, a newsletter about pinball and retro arcade gaming. Articles in this issue: In memory of Buffalo (1951-2014), coverage of ATG Expo 2024, reader responses to last issue’s Sinistar article, the history and legacy of Konami’s Roc’n Rope, and Buffalo asks…is pinball a sport?

Hi @pinball,

Here’s our Spring issue for 2024. I’m sad to report that Buffalo, our resident color-commentator, has passed away. He loved pinball, owning two machines at his store in Cope, Colorado. I begin this issue with a brief tribute to him. This issue, and a few future issues, will contain his commentary.

In this issue, he asks, “Is Pinball a Sport?”

I also have a classified section in this issue, with a 1978 Chicago Coin “Jukebox” pinball machine for sale.

Pinball league event calendars for Long Beach Pinball League, Mile High Pinball League, and Reno Pinball. If your league is interested in being listed in the newsletter, let me know.
