To see this you need to start the game with both flipper buttons pressed, and then follow the mine cart mode to crash through the fourth barrier on the right side that shows up.

Yes but the frog one was discovered last week, so it's new.
This means, however unlikely, that other WMS/Bally machines from 1998 or older could still have hidden modes and features that nobody knows about yet... smile.gif

If it's not listed in the manual (usually can be found from IPDB), the easter egg link Wildman posted, or Rec.Games.Pinball, then it's a new one.

Am I the only one that noticed the 20,000,000 score doesn't get added?

Not only that but it says 10,280,000 adds mine cart bonus 25,000,000 and score stays at 25,280,000.

Wasn't that just the bonus? 20 mil plus 280k? The video stopped before it was added to the total.

How cool that something like that has been hidden for so long, and that on my favorite pin. I imagine the designers laughing somewhere in the background.....
It's too elaborate to be an hoax for sure. Isn't it possible to read out the graphics from a ROM and haven't we seen some "lost footage" from other ROMS as well? Anyway, great find Destruk and marvelous to fantasize about what other hidden gems there could be around in other ROMS!

Did you know that "playing pinball" is called "flipperen" in Dutch? Now you know and may your life be enriched by this arcane knowledge....
