ABOUT

Artist Constantino Mitchell told us that he did the backglass, cabinet, and most of the playfield and plastics. David Moore did a small part of the playfield. Jeanine Mitchell did the color art. Pictured in this listing is a prototype whitewood that was never made, having a small mini-playfield recessed below the main playfield. The following information was provided to us by the owner to accompany the pictures: � Various parts from Rescue 911 and Street Fighter II appear in this prototype, in addition to various parts that don't appear to be present in any other games, such as the right wire form ramp and the middle vacuum-formed ramp. � The lower playfield only has a ball kicker to launch a ball held captive on the lower playfield. No flipper is present. � The playfield inserts have hand-written labels similar to those found on the production version of Stargate. � The game does not have ROMs. I installed standard Stargate ROMs temporarily to try to get the boards to boot. The cabinet body is blank, and is painted blue. The head is from a Street Fighter II. The front of the cabinet has a handwritten note "Special spottings for legs" with arrows pointing to the bolt holes for the legs. � The transformer panel does not have fuse labels. There is a sticker on the panel which reads "Bottom Panel Tester #2". � The aux sound card is unfinished, and it is unable to be connected to the main sound card in its current state. � There is an oddity with the shooter lane in that the cabinet hole is not correct for a launch button like on mario brothers, but the auto-shooter is in the way so the playfield can't accommodate a standard shooter rod. � The rear edge of the playfield has some notes written on it, which reads "1st #742 whitewood never made #5 & 6 Plates 10-21-94 (RT)". I'm assuming that is supposed to be Ray Tanzer's initials at the end.

Gentle plunge to feed the cross-playfield ramp that returns ball to left outlane kickback (Sarcophagus). On Ball 1 that starts Multiball!

Multiball on this machine can be very short, no ball saver, and only 2-ball. The first jackpot will add-a-ball, though, making it 3-ball.

Battle mode is by far the most lucrative. Alternate left orbit and "Trade Quartz" shots. Each shot adds time and increases value, no limit!
