Anyone remember this? I was 10 when this issue of Starlog hit in 1979. I entered but just didn't have the art chops. I waited by the mailbox daily, though, with fantasies of owning my very own Star Trek pinball. Was crushed when the winners were revealed and they were all amazing high end pro work. Life lesson and fond memories!

The same issue had a nice article on Bally pinball and the modernization of pinball art design.

"In his spare time, Kevin [O'Connor] is a nightclub entertainer." Ok, there is a story I'd like to know more about.....

I don't remember that one specifically, but i do remember the one for Roller Coaster Tycoon. You had to design a coaster then email it. Grand prize, RCT Pinball, 100(i think) first prizes, RCT board game. We won a board game....I would love to know how close, or far we were from the grand prize...
