The main objective is to achieve multiball by changing the stoplight from green to yellow to red. The stoplight is changed via ramp shots or by hitting the upper playfield targets. The shaker motors operate during multiball. By hitting the stick shift you increase from 1st gear to 6th gear (one gear for each hit). In addition to getting points for this, there are Jackpots for all 6 gears. The game software was based on Sega's 1996 'Twister'.
Cabinet measures 48 3/4 inches long, 20 1/2 inches wide, and 72 1/2 inches high. |

| Notes: | Artist Marc Raneses told us that this game was around the time he left Sega Pinball so he didn’t remember doing too much on it. He believes he did "a few dots" but thinks Kurt Andersen probably did the majority of the dot/animation.
Mini-Viper was an experiment to have a modern game in a 1950's size of cabinet, created in response to operator complaints that pinball machines were too large for the smaller game nooks of some locations, where a video game would be a more sensible fit. However, this prototype game, brought to an AMOA show, was not well received for its smaller size, and never went into production.
Instead, a full-size game was made, Sega's 1998 'Viper Night Drivin''.
The prototype was obtained from Sega missing the playfield gear shift knob, the Viper toy car, the specially-sized lockdown bar, and the translite. These items were faithfully reproduced in the pictures shown here. |

When the game is turned on, the backbox LCD title screen shows the full name of this game as "The Wizard of Oz 75th Anniversary". Ted Estes advised us that the manufacturer's pre-production flyers showed artist mock-ups of the game where the lower edge of the backglass indicated "75th Anniversary Limited Edition". A game exhibited at the 2013 International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Expo (IIAPA) in Orlando, Florida did display "Limited Edition" on its backglass. However, Ted said the word "Limited" was dropped from the name prior to the production start in 2014, and the production backglasses indicated "75th Anniversary Edition". We note the Model Number still retains a reference to "LE". Ted also told us the the manufacturer's in-house name for this game was the "Ruby Red Special Edition" although these words do not appear on the game.
This model is advertised as having a limited production run of 1500 units. Each game will have a numbered plaque affixed to the game apron to be seen under the playfield glass.
The manufacturer confirmed shipping began August 2014.
Price when new: $9,000.00. An optional 'Invisiglass' playfield glass available for $250.00 extra. |
