The Internet Pinball Project Pinball Database Additions or modifications form (instrucutions) Thanks for taking the time to help improve the pinball database. When you have filled in the form, please email it to byers@lysator.liu.se or to chick@mt.net, and we'll add your contributions as soon as possible. Descriptions of some of the individual fields follow. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please don't hesitate to write either byers@lysator.liu.se or chick@mt.net. These pages have been formatted for 80 columns and 66 lines per page. Specialty field --------------------------------------------------------- Indicate if this game is a special type. The types currently listed are Cocktail table machines, Non-commercial (home) machines, Shaker ball machines, Bat games, Bingo machines, Payout machines and widebody machines. Others can be added. Features field ---------------------------------------------------------- Targets used in the game. A sampling of the currently used ones are add-a-ball, bumbers, automatic plunger, drop targets, flippers, game-controlled magnet, gobble hole, magna-save, multiball, vari-target and zipper flippers. Many others are used, and where appropriate (and known) the number should also be reported (for instance, how many flippers, how many balls in multiball, how many bumpers). Toys field -------------------------------------------------------------- Toys might be considered extraordinary features. For instance talking heads, backbox animations, flipper blinders and video games may be considered toys. Concept, design, artwork, graphics, programming, sound, music fields------ Please list as many of the people involved in each area as possible. If you know what part of the design or artwork or whatever they did, please list that as well. Slogans field ----------------------------------------------------------- This is the spot where you write down the funny and silly slogans used in marketing the game. The most common source for slogans is naturally any flyers associated with the game. Notes field--------------------------------------------------------------- Write anything else you can think of here. In particular, if there are any special features about the game, such as being the first with flippers or the first to use solid-state electronics, or if the game is a conversion from another game, please write that here. Source field-------------------------------------------------------------- This is important. Please tell us where you got the information. Images -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We're trying to add as many pictures of machines as possible to the database. If you can supply us with pictures, we would be very grateful. Please email byers@lysator.liu.se for more information. If you can't scan the images yourself, we can do that from color prints (either in Europe or the USA). Please email byers@lysator.liu.se to make arrangements. Other -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have any other material, such as a lengthier description of the game or pictures of the machine, please send that as well. We'll grab any information we can get our hands and put everything we can on-line in an organized form.
