OK folks?

 

When I was a kid, I played a lot (here in Brazil) a table that I believe to be from the 70's or 80's and I don't know her name ...

The only thing I remember is that she played a lot of melodies, songs ... even when in stand by was playing the songs of the game ....

 

I know it's very difficult to help with so little information, but if you can give me some tips to go searching and finally try to find my favorite table thank you very much ...

 

hug to everyone

Does anyone have an idea?

 

which tables had the most melodies in the 70s and 80s?

 

thanks

[BobAlbright]

With the info you are providing I doubt anyone can help you

[PainkillerAlice]

Xenon?

[teisen]

thanks so much for the help .... but still not the one I'm looking for

I think it will be very difficult to identify, I have no reference, just that I played many songs even when in stand by

Since you are from Brazil, is it more likely to be a Taito branded machine? That would limit the search space to about 35 machines according to this Wikipedia article:

Ask childhood friends? Zero memories of any of the songs?

Just go to pinball database and go through them all, its not so difficult.

If you know the brand will be even easier.

Is it gottlieb, bally, williams, ...

Even if you don't know brand - each brand has distinctive look - so check other pinballs from that brand from that time and maybe you will find out what was the brand.

By "songs", do you mean little tunes that sound like they are being played on a synthesizer that last for about 5-10 seconds each during gameplay? If so, then it is likely a Taito table.

thank you all for the tips ... still keep on searching ..

 

when I speak songs, they are melodies even of composed songs, not created for the game ...

as an example, the Back to the Future table, which plays songs from the movie soundtrack.

 

thanks

Hello guys, I could remember that the pinball played military marches ...

 

one that was certainly played was "The Washington Post March", even with the machine on stand by ...

 

the one I quoted above is certain to play, and if I'm not mistaken also played "The Marine Himm" and "Colonel Bogey", but I'm not so sure.

 

can anyone help me already?

 

thank you!

CyclonePF is probably correct; here's another link for Taito tables. It won't be anything earlier than 1977 since the early electronics wouldn't have done that many tunes.

If this game played the songs as an attract mode, even if you found the right table in vp it might not have attract mode enabled so please keep that in mind. But you could turn on the attract mode through the game options.

Oh also just off the top of my head, Totem plays a lot of kinda random melodies.

hello, thanks for the help ... but it's not the table I'm looking for yet.

worse is that I can not even remember the manufacturer, which would help a lot ...

In Brazil most tables were Taito, but I know it's not made by her ...

 

well, one hour I'll find her!

 

hugs

[Rajo Joey]

Here are tables made by LTD do Brasil. Maybe it's one of those?

Hello,

 

of the LTD tables I believe that the one I could be looking for is the Zephyr table, but I didn't find it on the forum to download ...

from the manufacturer Taito there is the same table with the name of Zarza, the audio is the same for similar tables or from one manufacturer to another can it change?

 

thankful

[licwip]

Zephyr's available now.

[Armyaviation]

What is Zephyr? Only pinball by that name I found is from the 30’s

[htamas]

I guess this means Zephy, a Brazilian clone of Xenon: https://www.vpforums...showtopic=44352

Hello everyone!

Time Machine - Ltd do Brasil

maybe one day we'll have her here ...
