Roger Sharpe Seminar - 2026 Northwest Pinball & Arcade Show
Summary
Roger Sharpe's Northwest Pinball Show Q&A covers pinball history, the IFPA's growth, production economics, and licensing.
Roger Sharpe, pinball legend known for the 1976 New York City ban-era tilt shot, delivered an unscripted Q&A seminar at the 2026 Northwest Pinball & Arcade Show. He recounted pinball's history from the 1970s boom through the video game era, the founding of PAPA and the IFPA, the economics of modern pinball production, and his perspective on licensing versus original IP. Much of the talk is anecdotal and digressive, with claims about historical production numbers and market size that are not sourced.
Our next guest truly needs no introduction, but he has an endless vault of incredible stories from decades at the heart of the pinball industry. Going far beyond his legendary shot that saved the game in New York City, please give a massive Northwest Pinball Show welcome to Roger Sharpe! Check out GGTV across social media below!
