| Manufacturer: | Sega Pinball, Incorporated, of Chicago, Illinois,
USA (1994-1999) [Trade Name: Sega] |
| Date Of Manufacture: | June, 1998 |
| Model Number: | 64 |
| Common Abbreviations: | GC |
| Type: | Solid State Electronic (SS) |
| Production: | 10 units (approximate) |
| Serial Number Database: | View at The Internet Pinball Serial Number Database (IPSND.net) (External site) |
| Theme: | Billiards |
| Notable Features: | 3 Ball Saves. Has Left Post, Right Post, and Up-Post between flippers, all operated by a second set of flipper buttons.
Goal oriented play: Player must complete a task checklist and then the games ends. The faster the player completes the checklist, the more timer points they score. Various shots may pause the timer (depending on configuration and tournament rules). Once the checklist is complete, the game is done.
Maximum of five balls per play. Draining ball five ends the game, although completing the checklist on an earlier ball also ends the game as noted above.
Also described as having "Minimum Assured Scoring": If a player completes a specific set of objectives, they are guaranteed a specific score. This can be used to make the players score appear to be much greater than it really is, giving the player the illusion that a mediocre final score is close to an excellent final score.
Designed by Sega Pinball and Incredible Technologies, the makers of the well known "Golden Tee" golf games. Like Golden Tee, this game was designed to be linked to other games and tournaments across the country, with prizes awarded to high scorers. |

| Notes: | Compare the playfield layout to Bally's 1981 'Eight Ball Deluxe', upon which this game was reportedly based.
Kelly Packard was a cast member of Baywatch, and was reportedly chosen to be featured in this game because she looked good on the backglass and cabinet and would attract players; she appears to have no direct connection to pinball or billiards.
Shown at ATEI in 1999, Golden cue's rules were not completed and the game was not officially released by Sega; only a few test games were made, and it was later redesigned into Stern's 2000 'Sharkey's Shootout', and Kelly was dropped from the game. |

Watch the video sequences repeat to see Sonic The Hedgehog as a Frankenstein creature with scars.
This game uses the larger 192x64 pixel DMD.
This game features Edgar Winter's classic song "Frankenstein" as one of the theme songs.
Although 'Mary Shelley's Frankenstein' is a 4-player game, it played a role in the development of the 6-player feature used on subsequent Sega games. Programmer Orin Day tells us about the use of 6-players in Sega games: The 6-player display code was prototyped as a "proof-in-concept" on the Frankenstein display, but was first released in Baywatch. The Frankenstein multiball start display effect was repurposed in attract mode to promote this 6-player feature. Baywatch and Batman Forever also had this feature. When we switched back to the 128x32 display for Apollo 13 and subsequent games we also switched to the Whitestar hardware system. It's my recollection that at that time we coded both the game and display to take six players. It was removed from the system at the time of Sharkey's Shootout, no games after that had it (with the exception of NFL, which was a derivative of Striker, and any games from earlier in the catalog like South Park which were remanufactured). |
| Marketing Slogans: |
"Sega Pinball creates a monster hit!"
"Collections so good, they'll bury the competition."
