Hi there
My neighbour's little daughter is a big dolphin fan and when she saw Chicago Coin's "DOLPHIN" at the IPDB she got quite excited. She asked me if I could buy one, so she could play it. Big disapointment when I told her that there is barely a chance such a machine made its way into our country. "But then I can play it on your computer like the other Pinballs?" she asked me. Again I had to deny as I just couldn't find any recreation of that table on the net. And no matter how hard I tried to convince her that despite the "beautiful look", the game seems to be a rather boring one: "Please!
Do it for me! Please please please..." Well, who could say no to a cute 7yo girl begging you like that...
So there we go. First graphics are done and some basic scripting, too. Unfortunately I'm a bit stuck now, as the flyer doesnt tell much about the rules and the guy who contributed the paperwork to the IPDB used a cam - unfocused - instead of a scanner, so the schematics are unreadable. That's why actually I hope I will find someone here at the forum who maybe knows or even has the game and could give me some input. Any help would be highly apreciated - thank you!!!

OH, I forgot: If someone has infos about "SHOW TIME" by Chicago Coin, that's ok, too! Being the 4-Player brother of "DOLPHIN" I suppose the rules will be the same... THX!!
