I have added a mirror of a site that hosted decrypted ROMs to resurrect Sega System 16 and System 18 boards. These ROMs allow you to bypass the FD1094 custom processor and its crazy encryption routines. Click here to jump to the download page.

I added a link over to Ken's Pinball Rebel page. Some good stuff over there, including custom pinball instruction and pricing cards, game specific information, jukebox info, an event calendar, and a pinball locator! I also removed a link to a Capcom site, as the site is gone.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: I've moved PinballZone.com to a new server due to issues at my old hosting company. E-Mail was down for an undetermined amount of time. If you e-mailed something important to me and have not received a response, please resend at your convenience. Let me know if you see anything wrong with the pages on the site! I've gone through everything, but I'm sure I missed some stuff.

I realized that the larger pictures from the galleries on this site were showing broken links. I've repaired the affected scripts, so the pictures should once again be working properly.

After about 1 and 1/2 years of work, my Mystery Castle machine shop-out project is finally finished. We were using this game as a graduation project for my younger brother, so that explains the style and formatting of the page. Click here to check out the details!

Similar to the Instruction Manual FTP site information page at PinballZone.com, The Debaser.net Plastic Repository FTP Site information page has been added. These two sites (the Instruction Manual FTP site, and the Plastic Repository FTP site) are both incredible resources to the pinball community. PinballZone.com is proud to offer an easier-to-remember URL to help you get to these two services.
Please support both FTP sites by uploading.

Mike Purcell's Instruction Manual Archive FTP Site information page has been added to PinballZone.com. There is the potential for the Instruction Manual Archive's IP Address to change from time-to-time, so go to the PinballZone.com Manual Archive tracking page and bookmark there. The current IP Address, and current status (including a live automatic online/offline indicator) of the FTP server are always posted there.
Mike has done a wonderful job archiving this info, but he needs constant help with the project. If you have manuals that are not in the archive, and you also have a scanner, PLEASE help by uploading manual scans to his FTP site.

Added information to the Monopoly Ramp Flap do-it-yourself page for where to buy the parts pre-made. Roc from The House of Payne was generous enough to take my designs and offer them as professionally cut ready-to-install parts. Thanks Roc!

Added the beginnings of the Cirqus Voltaire page to the site. The page contains some more detailed information than the Internet Pinball Database could provide. I've also added a custom desktop background that I created. I'll be bolstering the Cirqus Voltaire page more at some future point. Enjoy!
|
|
22-SEP-2001
|
Finally acquired a Cirqus Voltaire Machine!!! This one's been the top-machine on my "Want List" for about 3 years. It's great to finally have one.

Added the Demolition Man Page! I also reorganized the machine names (and links) to reference the current state of my collection. There have been quite a few changes to my collection recently, and the list on the left-hand menu is now accurate.
|
|
15-MAY-2001
|
Updated a bunch of the back-end operations and scripts on this site. I've tested extensively, but it's possible I missed some things. If you see any broken links or errors, please E-Mail me!

Did a quick update to the Links Section (Added a Capcom Site!), also fixed a minor mis-information on my Airborne page. There are a total of four Capcom Machines that made it into production,
Airborne, Breakshot, Pinball Magic and Flipper Football. I had it listed as three.
|
|
22-DEC-2000
|
Due to popular demand, I have added a rubber ring information database to the site. This is a user-submitted and webmaster moderated database containing rubber ring color information (and more) on a machine specific basis.
|
|
30-OCT-2000
|
I added pictures to the Pin*Bot Page. The pictures are mostly of the playfield, and also contain some striking "before-cleaning" shots. It's amazing how the operators let their machines deteriorate. It's also amazing how long it can take to undo the damage the neglect has caused.
|
|
29-OCT-2000
|
I finally took the time to update the PinballZone logo (above). It now appears on a white background. During the development of this site, the general look of the site was originally on black, and this graphic was the last remaining remnant of the black site design.
|
|
13-OCT-2000
|
Updated almost the whole site. Changed my list of current and previous games to reflect my current collection. Added the Capcom Airborne page! Minor changes to a few other pages, including Pin*Bot, Cyclone, and Johnny Mnemonic. Also fixed a few minor typos and mistakes on various pages. The Revenge From Mars, World Cup Soccer, Shadow, and Star Trek: TNG pages are coming soon.

Added standings from the First Week of the Spring 2000 Pinball League. Converted to an electronic league scoring compilation method. This has caused the layouts and presentations of the league points and information to change slightly. It has also complicated navigation of that section of the site. Actions are being taken to rectify the situation. On the positive side, the electronic compilation of league scores causes better accuracy, easier maintenance, and many more benefits.
