Today's bio features Adrian Barritt (Co-founder of Silverball Studios).Adrian Barritt has loved pinball for as long as he can remember, having owned many real pinball tables, including; The Addams Family, Roller Games, Black Knight 2000, Star Trek The Next Generation, Road Show, Attack from Mars and Medieval Madness and the hours he whiled away as a youngster in the seaside arcades of Felixstowe. Those hours were, it turns out, not a misspent youth after all as 2 decades of success combining his passion for pinball and videogames is testament to. As the Managing Director of Silverball Studios Barritt has been at the helm producing some of the most acclaimed pinball games, including; Mario Pinball Land, Metroid Prime Pinball, Pinball Pulse: The Ancients Beckon and Frogger Pinball. The studio has also been responsible for games for  Nintendo, Konami and Square Enix and dealt with games for top brands such as Mensa and Thomas the Tank Engine. Before starting Silverball Barrritt's career spanned over 21 years in games development, seeing him rise from his first foray into the industry and writing games on the ZX81as a Programmer at Oxford Digital Enterprises to Project Developer at Cunning Developments just 2 years later. At Cunning Developments Barritt's passion for Pinball emerged and the, Pro Pinball® series - widely regarded as the best pinball simulation ever made - was born. The Pro Pinball®  series was then taken to Empire Interactive in 2000 and onto the Dreamcast, where Barritt was given the role of Development director. From here Barritt founded and ran Fuse Games Limited from 2002 to 2009, where his love of pinball continued to flourish as the studio produced  Pinball Pulse: The Ancients Beckon, Metroid Prime Pinball  and Mario Pinball Land for the DS and DSi among many other titles. Now at Silverball Studios Barritt is answering the wishes of pinball fans all over the World as the team there dive into a Kickstarter campaign to fund the revival and remastering of the legendary Pro Pinball® series.Also, don't forget to post any questions you may have for Adrian Barritt or Pat Lawlor as I will be submitting those questions within the next day or two in hopes of having the answers to post this coming weekend.</blockquote>
