Louis Koziarz has been sharing a lot of pinball industry history on Mastodon.
Roger Sharpe - the man, the myth, the legend. His job at WMS was to scour the entertainment business and sniff out potential licenses and report back to engineering when he found something interesting. He would put out reports every so often like this one to describe upcoming titles, sometimes with a critic's eye to what might be usable. It's fascinating to read in hindsight.
