Of all the art Jpop has stolen, I wouldn't say this stuff is the best.

Also not a fan. Find perplexing the widely expressed opinion that Magic Girl is one of the most beautiful games ever made (if not the most beautiful).

According to who, John?

The cabinet and playfield were different artists I think.
Magic Girl's playfield is pretty solid (for a non-working game). You gotta remember what other games looked like at the time. Even now it mostly holds its own, but it's almost all Zombie Yeti v Zombie Yeti at the top of the list.

The translite is beautiful. Especially for the time it was revealed.

It does not.
I grabbed the Zidware LED design guide booklet just for the LOLZ.
It's about 20 pages of simplistic CAD drawings.
If anyone wants a scan of it, let me know.

I’d be interested in checking it out.
I’m not trying to be ignorant , but I’ve only been around 2 plus years .That being said ,what’s the real deal with JPOP ?IMO his earlier pins were different from the norm in a real good way .I really wanted to see him in the mix with current pins because of his unique style .It blows my mind what that Roger did .It’s a mix of gigantic testicles mixed with a overdosing of stupidity but still .I guess what I’m asking is why he wasn’t hired by an established company prior ? Whatever anyone thinks , he gathers more attention than any other designer by a country mile which is what’s so confusing about this story .

Python had some choice words about him.

The fact he wasn't hired says quite a bit to me. Even if you're a bit eccentric you could be a hired gun if you can actually design a game.

Quoted from Tommy-dog:When John worked at Bally/Williams, he had a lot of help. He had some good ideas but others had to get his ideas to work. John need others to keep him on-track and within budget. I know this first hand with working with him on a project.
The late Barry Ousler said the exact same thing about John P.
