Pinball Mania (21st Century Entertainment 1995) Instruction Cards

This is a set of 26 instruction cards for use with Pinball Mania.

Unfortunately, no manual for the DOS version seems to exist online, so I used the Amiga manual instead. As far as I can tell, the table rules are identical.

I took screenshots from each table, added the relevant text from the manual, and then went a step further by highlighting and illustrating the various table features directly on the images.

Sadly, the manual itself is one of the worst I’ve ever worked with. There are no screenshots, many descriptions are frustratingly vague (“the ball trap” - which one? There are three!), and several table features are never explained at all.

By watching an unhealthy number of gameplay videos on YouTube, I managed to piece together the location and purpose of some of the more obscure features and fill in a few of the blanks myself. Even so, there are still some mysteries left unsolved, so if anyone happens to come across a more detailed manual, I’d greatly appreciate a heads-up.

Share and enjoy!
