Notes: | This game was part of Williams/Midway's "SuperPin" line of widebody games. The first pinball game to use Williams' DCS sound system. Features custom-recorded speech by actor John Rhys-Davies ("Sallah"). One of the jackpot awards during Quick Multiball is "The Fish of Tayles". Mark Ritchie confirmed to us that this is a reference to his previous game, Williams' 1992 'Fish Tales'. Early Production games had at least three differences from production games. The mini-playfield has steel side rails instead of red plastic. The Super Jackpot insert background is black-and-white instead of all black. Three Jackpot symbols illuminate on the speaker panel below the DMD. These three lamps do not light up on production games because those games are not equipped with the lamps and the board to support them. In fact, the backbox insert is not drilled with the three holes. However, the software on production games still supports this missing prototype feature, so it is possible to modify a production game to have this feature by drilling the holes in the insert and installing the lamps and the board. Early Production games have a large decorative plastic all along the back wall of the playfield, removed from later games. Reportedly, some game owners have obtained and re-installed this so-called "lost plastic". Another player-controlled tilting mini-playfield is found on Premier's 1993 'Wipe Out'. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
