The 2nd annual TWIPYS will be held live this March at the Texas Pinball Festival. The TWIPYS are awards given out to games released in 2018 in specific categories and to people in the industry, voted on by you, the pinball community. Voting was held over the past month and the winners will be announced live at the festival later next month.

There were so many fantastic machines released this past year and it looks like 2019 is off to a great start with Stern’s release of The Munsters.

I thought it would be interesting to see what MPLers thought, so I put together a Best of 2018 poll for you to have your say.

Voting is anonymous and will be open for a few weeks. Enjoy.
