It's quite simple. The big red button you see is the pinball's plunger. There's also a button on the left side and one on the right, just like a real flipper. The device -which is a little over 50cm long- connects to your PC with a DIN 5 connection. That's an old keyboard connection, before USB and PS/2. I'm too lazy to make a pic myself, so here's another picture I found online that shows the left and right buttons...

From what I found, it should even have 3 tilt sensors inside...

Think I'll hang on to it for now. You'll be the first to know if I ever sell it though. If... :mrgreen:

Keep in mind shipping can be quite the dealbreaker with large objects like that. Especially from Europe to the US...

I can tell you I found one on an Italian site for €35 + shipping. That is by far the cheapest one I found...

A guide for a game that was never produced?
That's fucking awesome.

B/W... I didn't know there were two versions. Oh well. I can make due with the b/w pics considering the great price.

I had both, but sold one a few years ago. Looks like I kept the B&W one. Don't ask me why. I have no idea. And now it seems impossible to find the one with color pictures or even confirm its existence. I don't even remember if and how you could tell the difference from looking at the cover. I vaguely remember the green word Dreamcast being different in the other version. But I'm not sure. Kinda makes me wonder if my memory is playing tricks on me...

I am not insane...

I think...

EDIT I found the transaction (january 2009) and sent the buyer a PM asking if she could check for me if the pictures are indeed in color or not. Let's hope she doesn't mind looking into it...

I'm sure this will go to the top of her "to do" list.
