The pinball world has lost a true genius. Everything he touched turned to pinball gold.
He is irreplaceable but at least he leaves a legacy of pure brilliance that we can enjoy forever.
In Lyman we trust.

With Lyman, it didn’t matter how many mediocre “easy pass” games came out, you always knew at some point in the future a Lyman game was coming out and it was going to be brilliant.
Quoted from Rarehero:Wow, we were just taking about those games a few weeks ago. [quoted image]
Love reading how much he was as much a collector/hobbyist as well as a player and coder. It wasn’t just a job. Clearly he loved pinball as much as we do. Combined with his incredible talent for playing and coding, that’s what came through in his games. He wanted to create a game he would want to play.
Quoted from Rarehero:On Metallica I had 2 requests. On the Prem/LE, sometimes the magnet is flakey & doesn’t sense the ball when you hit the captive ball. So, I asked if he could make it so captive ball hits count toward the next lock if the magnet doesn’t grab the ball. He put it in as an option. I also asked if he could add a ball save to the Crank It Up modes, as I got super pissed when I qualified CIU & then drained right away…he also put that in as an optional setting.
Both of those are almost game changers. I’m pretty sure on current code they’re default, not options. Thank you both.
