I bought my Medieval Madness from fellow pinhead Mike for get this - $3100 in 1997. Mike bought the game new and had it set up in his basement with the shipping box sitting right next to the game. He decided to sell it after owning it for a very short period of time and asked the price the game sold for, so I said what the heck, I'd take it. Probably the smartest purchase I ever made for a Pinball game since it isn't uncommon for these games (in this shape) to go for $10,000 to $12,000. This is one of the most fun games I've ever owned and I still find it to be hilarious when listening to the speech that occurs during game play. A top notch game that I was lucky enough to buy when it was new. Williams produced Medieval Madness in June of 1997 releasing 4,016 units. Little did they know that this would be one of the all-time favorite games they ever produced. The game features 2 flippers, 3 pop bumpers, 2 ramps, an auto-plunger, a catapult, two pop-up trolls, and an exploding castle. The game was designed by Brian Eddy with artwork by John Youssi and Greg Freres. Music is by Dan Forden with software designed by Lyman Sheats Jr. Tina Fey did the voices of the Opera Singer princess and the cockney princess. Greg Freres was the voice for the jousting announcer and one of the trolls. The rule sheet for MM can be found at: http://www.pinball.org/rulesheets/medieval.htm The following Medieval Madness pictures of the playfield and backglass are from Williams. These are rather large pictures so they can take a minute to download if you have a slower connection. Note that when you use newer versions of Internet Explorer the enlarged picture of the playfield may not look that large. That's because the enlarged picture is not fully sized due to IE constraining the picture to the size of your current window. To get around this, drag the mouse pointer towards the lower right corner and you will see a button pop in to view that allows you to see the enlarged view when you click on it. There's a lot of stuff on this playfield. Note the beautiful backglass too. This is probably the number one game in Pinball today. (click picture to enlarge)
