Visual Pinball game show tables

[TLEberle]

Has someone made a table based on The Magnificent Marble Machine?

Golly, why would you? That would be the boringest table in the history of pinball.

I don't know if there actually was a full-size pinball arcade game based on TPIR, but I do recall seeing a small kid's-size toy pinball game based on TPIR back in the late 1990s on eBay.  

IIRC, it was manufactured by Tomy, and featured graphics from the short-lived 1994 syndicated show, including host Doug Davidson's image.

From Jeff's Pinball Pages comes this image of it. Seems to be extremely rare.

I think they were given out as promotional items to stations airing the syndicated '94 TPiR.  I know this because I...um..."liberated" the one our promotions department had dumped in the lunchroom at work back in the day; ended up tossing it in one of my many address changes around that time.

I started working on it a year ago just as an experiment but never finished it. It's mostly playable, but stopped working on it because the table was just too slow and boring to make it worth finishing.

I'm Betting for Version 3 of TPIR Pinball: It will be this this

And add 2 new pinball versions based on Game Shows by Mark Goodson: Trivia Trap and Card Sharks plus Hollywood Squares

It's Jianoran's sock puppet. What do you expect?

"Sock puppet" suggests deception, and also implies he's putting one over on us clueless moderators.  Neither is true.

Yes, sure, especially because, as I've said before about him, I don't think he has the mental capacity for intent.

That said, what was I supposed to get out of your link that would prove you guys were aware? (Not being confrontational, just asking.) The only discrete information I can see on that page is a list of his posts and the fact that it's a guy. The only reason I even know it's Jianoran is because he chatted me up on IM once using the above username.

Art the bottom of the shaded left-hand column, I see a "real name" field which is filled in with Jianoran's name. I believe those are self-entered, and I thought they were visible to everybody.  The fact that I see it may just be a moderator thing, and I can't remember my "test" account password to tell for sure.

It must be, 'cuz I don't see it. Age, Birthday, Gender, E-mail, and In The Biz is all we see, and of those, the only fields with any actual data in them are Gender and In The Biz.
