    TRIVIA
    Released in March 1995. 6,600 units were produced.

    In the Hidden Staircase animation, you can spot DOHO in the lower left corner.

    A cow can be seen during the Metamorphosis mode.

    The machine was once a prize offered in the UK version of The Price is Right in 2006, however the contestant was unsuccessful in winning it.

    UPDATES
    REVISION 1.0 (changes from prototype 0.8):
    Date: March 21, 1995
    • Enhanced status report.
    • Enhanced Skill Shot bad switch logic.
    • Added French and Spanish translations.
    • Enhanced ball search logic.

    REVISION 1.1
    Date: April 3, 1995
    • Trunk is now searched first during ball search.
    • Corrected the buy-in audit.

    REVISION 1.2
    Date: April 7, 1995
    • Fixed Trunk Test. It was incorrectly detecting and marking errors.

    REVISION 1.3
    Date: August 9, 1995
    • Correct a bug in the Multiball Lock logic where balls could not be locked after video pinball was played.
    • The lockup device now behaves better when one of its switches is broken.
    • Slingshots now disabled at game over.
    • Fixed the logic on the outlane proximity switches. If a switch is stuck on, and Hocus Pocus is enabled, the magnet is no longer fired.

    TIPS AND TRICKS
    When you start a game, hold the left flipper button. The first Basement Award will now be Digital Pinball where player 1 plays for 40M, all other players play for Extra Ball.

    Holding the right flipper button at the start of a game will activate MK3 Symbols. Spell THEATRE to reveal the symbols.

    Shoot the Trunk 3 times in Hat Magic mode to make a telephone appear on the screen. 'Move your car' is heard from it.
