| Notes: | This game was to be a remake (with updates) of Williams' 1991 'The Machine: Bride of Pin·bot' built in the Netherlands under license from Williams Electronics Games, Inc. It was announced for sale at the Texas Pinball Festival in March 2017. An image we saw of a translite available at that event (not shown here) carried the name "Bride of Pinbot 25th Anniversary". The flyer shown here references the "25th Anniversary SUPER LE". A maximum of 150 "Super Limited Edition" units was to be be sold, 100 for the USA and 50 for the rest of the world. Following that, a regular version was to be produced. The price in 2017 of the SUPER LE was $12,500. Reportedly, one prototype game was made (non-working at the 2017 Show). This game did not go into production. | ||||||||

| Notes: | 'Jack-Bot' is third in a series of games with a robot theme, including Williams' 1986 'PIN·BOT' and Williams' 1991 'The Machine: Bride of Pin·bot'. Some games in the production run were built using WPC-95 board sets. Two different playfield versions for this game are noticed, where just below the 5-bank of targets one version uses five arrow inserts that are all white in color, and the other version uses five arrow inserts of different colors. There also are two different plastics used above the entrance to the left ramp where it states "Lite Game Sau It is unknown to us which version of playfield and/or ramp plastic came first, or the reasons for them. Consider these variations: The flyer has colored arrows and the light blue ramp plastic. The promo poster has all white arrows and the light blue ramp plastic. One game pictured in this listing has white arrows and the blue & purple ramp plastic, while another game pictured here has the colored arrows and the light blue ramp plastic. In The Pinball Compendium 1982 to Present, Larry DeMar is quoted to say they had briefly considered naming this game "Lucky Star". Pictured in this listing is an example of each of the two cabinet color combinations produced for this game. One combination we refer to as "Red and Gold" and the other is "Gold and Yellow". The latter combination appears on all sides and cannot be attributed to "red fade" from the sun. Artist John Youssi told us that Python Anghelo left this project in mid-design and John and Doug Watson finished the game, with Doug doing the playfield art and John doing the backglass and cabinet art. | |||||

| Notes: | This 1991 machine has alphanumeric displays and the Williams "W" logo on the speaker grilles. A licensed conversion kit changed these items. See Dutch Pinball's 2014 'The Machine: Bride of Pin·bot 2.0'. Stephanie Rogers (http://www.hipchick.com) plays the voice of The Machine. 10/27/2010 A user reports that ROM version L-7 has a multi-player bug in it and is not recommended. The error is: If any player joins the billionaire's club, after they drain and their bonus is collected, the machine will reset. L-6 does not contain this bug.

| Notes: | This kit is a licensed product to "upgrade" the score display and speakers for Williams' 1991 'The Machine: Bride of Pin·bot'. Once installed, the only visible difference when looking at the game when not turned on is the Dutch Pinball logo on the speaker grills. When the game is turned on, the display between the speakers will be DMD instead of alphanumeric displays. This kit as sold has undergone various improvements such as a change from a monochrome DMD to a color DMD and the addition of a speaker improvement which was subsequently not put into production. We have contacted the manufacturer asking for a chronology of the different combinations that were sold and that might be seen on any games. We received some substantial information to correct and enlarge our information presented here. Unfortunately, this information was submitted anonymously so we cannot contact its author with our questions seeking clarification. | |||||
