ipdb.notes
IPDB Voice-over artist Tim Kitzrow provided the voice of Mr. Howell. Greg Freres told us that Dan Langlois started this game project as another theme and Ward took it over and changed it to the Gilligan's Island theme. Greg is credited on this game not for art but for more of a "theme support" credit, he said. First pinball game with a Dot Matrix Display (DMD) released by Williams/Bally, although Williams' 1991 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day' was the first Williams/Bally standard pinball game *designed* with a DMD. That game took longer to complete the design and begin production and so was released later. The promotional video released WMS/Bally also claims the coin door latch was redesigned to ensure the general illumination (GI) is not shorted out on the coin door. It also claims the ball poppers were redesigned to use a single piece mechanism connected by a screw rather than the prior two piece system connected by a pin that caused some mechanical problems. used
