Hitting all ten drop targets during a ball in play not only resets all targets but a drop target trip coil mounted on each drop target chassis operates a trip arm having four trip arm wireforms to immediately drop all eight yellow targets, leaving only the two center black targets to hit for 5000 points each. Dropping both black targets resets all ten targets then again trips the eight yellow ones to leave only the black targets for 5000 points, and this pattern will repeat until the end of the ball in play. All ten targets reset at start of next ball with none tripped.

Notes:
The Add-a-ball version of this game is Gottlieb's 1965 'Flipper Pool'.
'Bank-A-Ball' was the first pinball machine produced with flipper return lanes, which are wireforms that allow the ball to roll behind the slingshot and towards a waiting flipper. According to the book All About Pinball, Paradise and its add-a-ball version Pleasure Isle were the first games designed to have return lanes. However, Gottlieb rescheduled the production of Bank-A-Ball so that it could be released first.
Pictured in this listing are Early Production playfields that match the playfield shown in the manufacturer's flyer. The return lane white arrows show the words "Lights Bumpers" in them. Also, the lower playfield shows the 8-ball as an actual illuminating insert. Sometime during production, the words were moved to be below the arrows and the illuminating insert was removed, leaving the 8-ball painted on solid wood. One example we picture shows a certificate with serial number 01072. We know that Sample games do not show the 'S' designation on the certificate but only show it stamped into the wood of the cabinet. It's possible this game is a Sample.
The backbox on this game is sufficiently crowded with mechanisms such that there was no room on the back of the insert for the connector jacks to be installed to allow the playfield plugs to connect to them there. Instead, the connectors were placed onto a separate "plug mounting panel" that just hangs down into the cabinet through the access hole between the backbox and the cabinet. Because of this, Gottlieb affixed to the inside bottom of the backbox an Assembly Instructions card to assist the operator with proper placement of this separate panel to allow the insert to be lowered to its service position without obstruction. The example card pictured here is A-9487-1 and was stapled inside a Bank-A-Ball backbox even though the card carries the Model Number 222 for the game that immediately preceded it in production, the 4-player Gottlieb's 1965 'Dodge City'.

The BOM for this replay game is dated 12-21-56.
The single-player games manufactured by Gottlieb up to this point, including 'Ace High', did not have a match feature or a Game Over relay. This meant that the flippers could still be activated by the player even after all balls had been played.
Single-player Gottlieb games manufactured after 'Ace High' had a match feature and a Game Over relay which shut off power to the flippers.
An Extended Play version of this game was made as Gottlieb's 1957 'Ace High (Extended Play Prototype)'.

Dragonette
By Francisco
1954 Gottlieb Dragonette pinball
Description: Dragonette, Gottlieb, 6/54, 950 produced, 5 trap holes, double award, BALL COLLECT TRAY, complete side bumpers 1 to 8 in order to light playfield replays, outstanding Roy Parker backglass and playfield art, woodrail pinball. Dragonette came out first, but was so popular Gottlieb released 4 Belles, which is a copy of Dragonette.
Gottlieb Dragonette has several ways to win a replay (or if game played as Double award, two replays). First is to complete the 1-8 side bumper sequence (in order). If this is done, the red "ding dong" bottom rollovers (A/B lanes next to the flipper) lights for a replay. These two left/right side rollovers alternate with the 10,000 unit. Next is to complete both the A and B rollovers next to the flippers, as this awards a Replay. It also lights the center rollover between the red pop bumpers for a Replay. The next way is to put a ball in each of the four outside trap holes. This also awards a Replay. Putting a ball into the fifth center trap hole gives another replay.
Notes:Same playfield layout as Gottlieb's 1954 '4-Belles'.
'Dragonette' artwork satirized the popular 'Dragnet' television show.

Design by:Greg Kmiec
Art by:Dave Christensen
Notes:'Capt. Fantastic' was inspired by the movie 'Tommy' and includes a representation of Elton John, as his character from the movie, playing pinball on the backglass. The game name, however, is the title of Elton John's 1975 autobiographical song and album where "Captain Fantastic" was Elton and "The Brown Dirt Cowboy" was his then-lyricist Bernie Taupin. Included in the song lyrics are the words "From the end of the world to your town" which appear at the very top center of the backglass.
Tom Nieman, VP of Marketing for Bally Pinball, tells us the flyer was made while Elton was recording a new album in Canada. For this flyer, a game was shipped to the Toronto hotel where Elton was staying. That is why he is shown wearing a Canadian hockey jersey. Elton then asked Nieman to send a game to his various residences and one to his "mum" in the UK.
Artist Dave Christensen included in the backglass several depictions of people doing things that, at first, escaped notice by Bally management. A small number of games with these so-called "X-rated" or "uncensored" backglasses made it through production before changes were required to be made. Specifically, small mirrored stars were added over the objectionable parts and, curiously, these stars did not effectively obscure the offending art in all instances. Nieman explained to us that he and Christensen wanted the correction to be as minimal as possible because they knew they had "a monster hit" on their hands. The X-rated version is often referred to as the "no stars" version even though all of the backglasses in the production run did contain a certain number of peripheral decorative stars anyway. Nieman is depicted in the backglass as the man in the three-piece suit, and he says that 'Brutus' is artist Paul Faris.
Mr. Nieman attended the 1975 New York premier party for the movie "Tommy" held in the 57th Street subway station. He had agreed with artist Christensen to represent the date of this event in the backglass art as the score 31775. A biography of Keith Moon records the date of this party as March 18, 1975. It is easy to believe that the party extended over both days.
Bally made an unknown quantity of playfields for this game having orange star rollover inserts instead of the usual green ones. This version is seldom seen, which indicates the quantity made was small. Pictured in this listing are three different examples of this "orange version" playfield. Two of the three also have a white drop target Special insert, instead of the expected red-colored one. The production run of this game was over 16,000 units, and these "orange version" playfields may have simply resulted from spot shortages during the production run of playfield parts having the correct colors. More information is needed to understand the reason for these playfield differences.
The Early Production game pictured here has serial number 1088 and has green star rollover inserts on its playfield. It has the Over The Top backglass which is uncensored and, like the game in the flyer, its cabinet front has the "reversed" red and blue striping as compared to the striping on the cabinet sides.
Included in this listing is a playfield showing signatures of both the designer and artist silkscreened in the black area at the bottom where the outlanes exit towards the outhole. Greg Kmiec tells us that Christensen had sneaked their signatures there but when Bally management heard about it and saw it, they made Christensen remove the signatures. Greg initially stated that only ten playfields were produced like this in a pilot run, not to appear on production games, but when the production game with serial number 1087 was identified as having a signed playfield, it caused him to wonder if a larger quantity of, say, 100 was actually made, to have appeared on production games. Another explanation would be that game 1087 was retrofitted with a pilot run playfield after it left the factory. We note that the game with serial number 1088 does not have a signed playfield.
One game in this listing has a backbox frame painted red instead of the usual white. We have no further information on this except the same variation has been seen on Bally's 1978 'Bobby Orr Power Play'.
A home version of this game was also produced; see Bally's 1977 'Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy'.

RoboCop - Dead or Alive Edition (PinEvent Lite, FizX 3.3)
By TerryRed
RoboCop - Dead or Alive Edition (PinEvent Lite, FizX 3.3)
Version 1.3 (Feb 2024)
Original table build by: ROM
Ultimate Pro update by: SLAMT1LT
Dead or Alive Edition, PinEvent Lite, FizX update by: TerryRed
SLAMT1LT did a massive update to Rom's original build of this table years ago for his Ultimate Pro update which completely changes this to a new game. New gameplay / rules / code, new sounds / voices / music, new lighting effects, new videos and more.
I love RoboCop, so I really wanted to add my own bit of flair to this amazing table. I've added my PinEvent Lite features for DOF, SSF, etc (PUP DMD is a future update).
I've also overhauled this table and modernized it to my own preferences for lighting, shadows, FizX physics, new art, and more. I added some new features and added many fixes that prevented game progression, etc. This makes an already great game look / sound / play absolutely amazing. I love it!
This table has been fully updated with FizX physics for game changing new physics on Future Pinball. FizX uses techniques similar to nFozzy physics on VPX to completely change the physics for the flippers, slings, rubbers, targets, ball behavior and more that allows this table play much more realistically than anyone ever thought was possible on Future Pinball. You will be amazed at the difference!
PinEvent Lite
I've added my PinEvent Lite features for DOF, SSF, etc (PUP DMD is a future update).
PinEvent Lite features for this table:
DOF (basic config, no custom animated effects... yet) PUP (simple backglass and speaker grill options) PUP SSF Night Mode TILT BOB
NOTE: PinEvent Lite tables do NOT have PUP-Pack options that include support for PUPDMD / videos / modern text, etc. That will come at a later date, when the table is upgraded to PinEvent V2.
DMDExt
Cabinet users will need to use DMDExt to mirror the FP DMD to their DMD display / real DMD. Read the included Install Instructions for more info and links on how to do this.
For an EPIC video preview of this table's updates and new features, and a gameplay demo of almost all modes, check out this video:
Thanks of course to these awesome contributors:
ROM – original table build
SLAMT1LT – Ultimate Pro update
TerryRed – Dead or Alive Edition, PinEvent, FizX updates
Schlabber34 - new pre-rendered insert images
FLEEP - new mechanical sounds
JLou - for FizX and support
Everyone at Pinball Nirvanna for ideas, examples, and support
