    VP8 Flipperless Recreation Skee Ball released

    A visit to Cincinnati's Coney Island or Middletown's beloved but closed LaSourdesville Lake wasn't complete without a visit to the Penny Arcade and some fun playing Skee Ball. You'd win tickets based on your score, and save the tickets all summer in hopes of redeeming them for a really cool...

    VP8 Flipperless Recreation Lucky Swing released

    Lucky Swing is a bit more detailed and complex than most toy pinball games, For that reason I created a much deeper rule set than you would expect for a toy pin. You'll find out very quicly that nudging at just the right time can add a lot to your score. The top 3 pockets are outs, and deduct...

    VP8 Flipperless Recreation Curious George toy pin released

    I have searched for over a year for a useable images for this pin toy. Although I'm not positive when this Curious George pin game was made, I'm fairly sure it was made in 2001, for the 60th anniversary of the publication of the original Curious George story, Curious George Goes To The Hospital...

    VP8 EM Flipperless Recreation Sportsman Payout updated

    Although I have been recreating a lot of toy pins lately, I also make flipperless commercial coin-ops, alone as well as with my partner Patrick.

    VP8 Flipperless Recreation Trophy Hunt released

    Trophy Hunt is an odd sideshooter, in that there are six large scoring cups, not leaving much room for missed shots, but if your aim is off, it can happen. And since we're in the jungle, you'd better watch out for the bubbling quick sand. I oppose hunting for sport, and have never touched a...

    VP8 Flipperless Recreation Cracker Jack Field Goal released

    Field Goal is a skill game, rather than a pin toy, but I've made a few changes and added some sounds to convert it into a nice little diversion. You get 10 footballs to determine if you're good enough to be the Cracker Jack's new field goal kicker. Now be warned that the team plays on a field...

    VP8 Flipperless Recreation 2 Cracker Jack pin toys in 1 download

    Since Cracker Jack pinball toys from the 1950s will easily fit in the palm of your hand, I'm releasing two of them in one file. Suggested by Shockman, I had two decent images, so I figured, why not. Bowling and Bo Peep are simple little toys, but back in the 1950s, they were probably the neatest...

    VP8 Bally SS Recreation Star Trek se Released

    A new version of the table, Star Trek, is now available. This is my take of what is one of the classic Bally designs, a true personal favorite, and one that caused me to skip a lot of school at the time. This version is slightly enhanced, as the old Bally didn't flash bulbs etc, but it's...

    Hi Following the long and torturous debate over the rules I am now releasing Gottlieb Volley version 1.5. I thought I'd start a new thread for this as it is a substantial change. The rules are quite different. The toplanes are lit when the first ball starts and if you can get the bumpers and...

    VP8 Flipperless Recreation Happy Tappy released for toddlers

    I've never been married and don't have any children, which is probably a good thing since I may be the world's oldest kid.

    VP8 Flipperless Recreation Jet Sideshooter released

    Sideshooter pin toys have been entertaining youngsters for a long time, possibly going back to the 1910s or 20s. While they can be fun, they can also get old, since most share a similar design, with only the scoring, and number of slots differing. Well, maybe that won't be the case with Jet...

    VP8 Flipperless Recreation Montgomery Ward's Star Deluxe released

    Just as Sears did with Northwestern's Poosh M Up games, Montgomery Ward also sold private barand pin games, this one was probably made by Lindstrom, rather than Gottlieb, although it is similar to Gottlieb's Five Star Final. Westen Auto stores also sold pin games, although I don't know who made...

    Quote
  • ChatGPT @ ChatGPT:
    @, As of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, the 1933 version of the film "Contact" does not exist. It seems there might be a confusion with the title or the year. The well-known film "Contact" is a science fiction drama released in 1997, directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey. It is based on the 1985 novel of the same name by Carl Sagan.

    If you are looking for a different film from 1933 or a film with a similar title, please provide more details so I can assist you better. If you are indeed referring to the 1997 film "Contact," it is widely available on various streaming platforms, DVD, and Blu-ray.
