Dot-Matrix Animations That Never Were
The Lost Temple of DOHO, is a place where unwanted dot matrix
display animations go to be seen in their somewhat full glory. These are
animations which, for one reason or another, never made it into games. Hopefully
by showing these relics of the past, a visitor to the temple will be not
only entertained, but will gain a small glimpse into the design process
of a pinball machine. Granted, you won't see any of our secret playfield
testing software, but maybe you'll come to learn why things were done the
way they were.
Unused artwork and animations
Before Scared Stiff was finally laid to rest, the development team took
a walk back through their piles of sketches, models, animation files, and
other scary material to give you a look at what doesn't always
make it into a pinball machine.
Prototype information and images
What with all his years in the business Uncle Willy has been able to build up
quite a collection of artwork of various kinds. Here is some of his collection,
displayed for the interest of the public at large
.
Additional contacts for that hard to find part
Your first stop for new games sales and service/parts for recent games is your local
distributor. Also, many distributors often have a selection of used games that have been
taken in on trade toward new games.
Otherwise, you should check out this list of vendors. These vendors cater to the
secondary game market and have asked to be listed on this page.
