Party Animal

1987opdb · G42Zz-MeP7R

First pinball game to have the sounds of a belch and a flushing toilet. This game uses the 68000-based "Sounds Deluxe" sound board. Two translites were available: bar and home version. The bar version has a plain beer stein while the home version has a stein with the words "Dad's Old Fashioned Root Beer" printed on it. We have seen images of adhesive stickers from the WMS film drawers that have the five words "Dad's Old Fashioned Root Beer" on them, for placing on the beer stein on translites that did not have this wording. Pictured in this listing is a red-and-white blank playfield. Both Dennis Nordman and Pat McMahon did not know or recall anything about it. That would make sense if it was made by Lenc Smith, their playfield manufacturer, as a registration check, similar to the one we show in our Monster Bash listing. We label this picture as a test playfield.
