ipdb.notes
IPDB Easter Egg Alert: Before launching the first ball, and with credits on the machine (or free play), press the left flipper 11 times, then press the right flipper once, the left flipper 5 times, the right flipper once, the left flipper 6 times, and finally the right flipper once. The game will say "Totally" then launch the ball. Hitting the scoop with this ball will start Lyman's Lament, playing different music along with the voice of programmer Lyman Sheats commenting while that ball is played. We asked George Gomez in 2016 about the black-and-white test playfield shown in this listing. He replied:It's just a test to check the trapline against the rout. No idea how many would have been made. It was done at Lenc Smith and then sent to us at Willy for approval. It was common practice, sometimes it was run without the white; just black on wood. I showed the Party Animal to Greg Freres and he agrees. That�s a registration check at Lenc Smith. We would not have seen these since they happened at Lenc Smith and were intended to check screens before running quantities. On "trapline" � yes, the term is still in use and not specific to any one company. used
