Kim
would Gene have any info or concept drawing's on this game?
was it a car racing theme? a guess
did Capcom sell the idea to another company when they closed?
Does Gene have a whitewood or a prototype tucked away somewhere?
who was the designer?
one, two or no ramps....
and no l am not asking if you guys are planning to make it,
just curious
does anyone on the group know any thing a bout this game _________________ Greg

It was a motorcycle-racing theme, apparently. The game seems to have been much further back in the design process than BBB and Kingpin, as the scant few photos show only whiteboards and little artwork.

It'd be interesting to find out if Gene does have the design specs, prototype playfields & notes. Gene & IPB may not wish to disseminate any information however, in case there were some new devices, mechs, etc., in the game (Stern does have its spies). A six-ball multiball is hardly unique, but who knows what else the pin had. It's hard to tell from the pictures.

That's interesting.
It sort of looks to me like it was going to use handle bars, where the clutch and brake lever would activate the flippers or perhaps would be used in a video mode - not unlike the grips on Demolition Man. It took me a while to make out the sign that says "Please do not twist handle bars".
The big red thing in the back looks to me like a blobsled-turn-like ramp that brings the ball back down to the opposite flipper - that looks pretty cool too. |

Those pictures were taken by PinWitch ( from Austria ) at Expo, 1996 I believe. |

Wrong, this pictures were taken by me at Expo, I can't remember what Expo it was and who was the owner of the game. Unfortunately the quality of the pictures are bad.
I sent the pictures to a belgian collector who is a big fan of Capcom games. He put it on his website. I believe the pictures came from this site.

That Belgian collector would be me !
Karin, thanks again for your pictures ! I believe at the time *you* were called the pinballwitch, maybe that's why some guys have all the witches mixed up ? |

I apologise. I had email contact with the lady who took them a couple years ago. If it was you, and I was wrong on the name and country, I'm sorry. If it was pin witch I had contact with, then she made false claims and I'm sorry I spread them. Lloyd |

Sorry for the confusion Karin. I made a mistake on the country - and remembered your email address pinwitch@ that you used in a couple emails to me. Thank you again for having those pictures out there. Lloyd |

Yes! I played this at Expo one year. It was quite fun, and
unusual at the same time. No sound and little/no DMD activity.

@Lloyd Olson: You are right, I had 'thepinwitch' as emailadress and still own it at my website.
Since the first time I signed up in a forum I used 'pinballcat' because of my love for Pinball and cats.
I am not sure who owns the game now but at the time I took the photos I think Mike Pacak was the owner.

Karin,
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to latch on to the "pin witch.
I was just cleaning up my real nick so I wouldn't offend anyone, but I can just sign my name it's no big deal.

Kim, no problems with that!
My intention for the name 'thepinwitch' was if there is a Pinball Wizard, there also have to be a Pinball Witch!
