Les fonction cachées sur les flippers.
Qu'est-ce qu'un cheat code?
C'est une combinaison de touches à entrer à un moment donné pour déclencher
une fonction non accessible normalement. C'est donc un mot de passe.
Sur les consoles de jeu domestiques, les éditeurs de logiciels en ont fait une stratégie
commerciale destinée à augmenter l'attrait pour le joueur car il peut ainsi
"tricher". En effet, grâce à ces passes, il devient plus fort, à plus
d'armes, devient immortel ou découvre un parcours secret.
Et sur les jeux de cafés?
La question m'a souvent été posée. Et je répondais bien innocemment : NON.
Erreur car j'ai découvert récemment qu'eux aussi en possédaient. J'en fus stupéfait
pour une raison simple. Si une manette de console possède un grand nombre de boutons,
c'est loin d'être le cas sur un flipper qui n'en généralement que 4 (2 pour les flips,
le bouton de lance bille et celui du crédit). Ainsi entrer un code par ce biais tout en
jouant n'est vraiment pas ergonomique.
Pourtant, les développeurs l'ont fait.
En cours de traduction
G = bouton de flip gauche
D = "
" droit
B = boutons de flip gauche et droit ensembles (both)
C = bouton de crédit "start"
L = bouton du lance bille (gachette sur certains modèles)

CACTUS CANYON 
Bally 06/98
The 14th collected jackpot is a "Cow of a jackpot!".
Sometimes when the Barfly gets swatted, it will be a Cowfly and a
"moo" is heard.
If you hear an insect buzzing when the heavy bag is hit, quickly hit
the launch button. This will give you a Barfly, Cowfly or Bobfly.
100k and a Smart Punch is also awarded.
The boxing man assembly was modeled after programmer Duncan Brown.
CHAMPION PUB 
Bally 05/98
CIRQUS VOLTAIRE
Bally
10/97
Some of the obstacles in the Video mode are cows and at rare
occasions a "3" is one of the obstacles.
One of the judges in the bonus sequence is a cow and another judge
is called DOHO.
Sometimes when you hit the Ringmaster, a moo is heard.
A cow sometimes fly away as debree in the DMD animation for hitting
the Ringmaster. Other debrees are bolts and pigeons.
There´s a cow on the backglass, above the acrobat to the right.
The Attract mode sound is a moo.
Enter MOO for initials in the high score table and the Ringmaster
will pop up and say "moo!". (Game ROM rev. 2.0 home)
Sometimes the pie that hits the clown in the match animation is
replaced with a cow, similar to the ones that Rooney jumps over in
the Video mode.
Sometimes the 1´s digit on the display flips to a skull, a cow, a
frog from Scared Stiff or a Tommy Ticket (from Ticket Tac Toe).
In the Attract mode´s history of the circus, a cow is mentioned in
two places.
John Popadiuk can be seen as the Fabio-looking acrobat on the
backglass.
In Attract mode, press one of these codes:
B, 3L, 10R, 19L, 1R (that spells CJS)
B, 16L, 1R, 2L, 1R (PAB)
B, 13L, 15R, 15L, 1R (MOO) Start a game directly after entering this
code and the sound effect for hitting the first Ringmaster will be
"moo".
B, 18L, 3R, 19L, 1R (RCS)
B, 7L, 7R, 3L, 1R (GGC)
B, 6L, 18R, 14L, 1R (FRN) Will perform a system reboot.
B, 13L, 1R, 2L, 1R (MAB, works only on 2.0 ROMs)
B, 3L, 19R, 19L, 1R (CSS, works only on 2.0 ROMs)
Please note that the L & R are reversable on all the codes to this
game.
CONGO 
Williams 95/96
There is a midnight madness, only when your special mode is turned on, what it does
?????? I don't know.
During the Satellite Transfer, the first six or seven hits will get
you various pictures of gorillas, diamonds and the like. The eighth
hit gives a cow that moo´s. The next hit gives a duck that quacks,
probably the Peking duck from Shadow. After that comes the picture
"move your car" from CFTBL, with the appropriate sampling. Then
follows the "Here's Your Hotdog" picture without the original
sampling.
Start a game just before midnight to enable "Midnight Madness".
Enter MOO in the high score list to hear a nice "moo". If you also
become Loop or Diamond Champion you´ll hear a second moo.
CORVETTE 
Williams 08/94
Before you plunge the ball into play, hit a flipper button to make
the motor shake with a reving sound.
One of the tracks is the Holstein Track, and Holstein is a breed of
cow.
When you start the "Catch me if you can"-sequence a car with one of
four women drives up on the screen, but at rare occasions a cow
drives the car instead, with the text "Moo" at the bottom of the
screen.
Hit 2L, 1R, 2L before plunging. The control gate near the LT1
roll-over lanes will open, allowing the plunged ball to go to the
upper flipper for a shot at the side ramp, or loop.
Hit 2R, 1L, 2R to close the gate again.
Creature from the Black... 
Bally 12/92
Appuyez sur les 2 boutons de flips quand vous allez dans le trou éjecteur du
"snack bar", Si vous avez allumé les 4 cibles turquoises, "No more bad
food" s'affiche et le snackbar explose.
Même manip quand le serveur du snack vous donne le menu, on voit la phrase "Come
here, punk", "Fatality" apparait et il se fait étrangler avec le bruit qui
va avec..
Appuyer une fois suplémentaire sur les boutons de flips lorsque vous avez réussi le
combat dans le vidéo-mode. "Knockout" s'affiche, et vous avez droit à une
animation sanglante...
When you reach 35M in Super Creature Feature, the game stops awarding points, and the
display says "DON'T BE GREEDY". Presumably this is to stop Diner-style play from
keeping the ball going in the Whirlpool forever. It's actually quite hilarious.
When the P-A-I-D targets are completed for the first time, keep
your eyes on the lower right corner of the display when the
animation is finished.
One of the awards you can get from the Snackbar is a hamburger.
Flipping the flippers when...
...the Snackbar opens awards "No more bad food" and the snackbar
blows up.
...the Snackbar guy gives you the meny awards the quote "Come here,
punk".
...the display reads "Knockout" after Video mode will give you a
violent animation.
Just to the left of the Snackbar guy in the animation you can read
HI DO HO.
When you shoot F in FILM (you get the picture with 2 people kissing)
DOHO can be seen in the lower right corner of the display.
Between the flippers there's a Cadillac with the name "Trudeau" on
it. This is the name of a designer.
If you tap both flippers when the project team is listed on the DMD
you get the following message after all the members have been shown.
TO WHOM I OWE
A LOT, THX DAD
IN LOVING MEMORY
OF MY MOTHER
HELLO
CHRISTINE
There are two sound clips that are never used in the game, and they
were apparently put in by the programmers just as jokes, never to be
found.
They are:
* (HAL-type voice) "I'm sorry, Jeff. Only five percent of available
(Not sure about the %).
RAM can be accessed at this time."
* (Boomy Announcer) "Jeff! You are a weenie!"
DEMOLITION MAN
Williams
02/94
Il y a quelques astuces cachées accessibles uniquement lorsque l'on joue avec
les manettes et non les boutons de flips traditionnels. Tous les "combos"
donnent 1 million supplémentaire lors du décompte du bonus à la fin de la bille en jeu.
Pressing both thumb buttons on the handles during a multiball awards the next Jackpot as a
"Secret Jackpot" (not including super jackpots).
Pressing both thumb buttons when you get "Big Points/1million" from the top lock
yields an "Eat at Joe's" graphic and 5 million points.
Pressing both thumb buttons *and* both triggers when you get "Big
points/1million" from the top lock yields "WAG" for 10 million points.
Pressing both thumb buttons right after the third Capture Simon shot (when you've
captured him) yields a 10 million capture bonus.
Pressing both thumb buttons right after hitting the second Retina Scan yields a great
graphic of the prison warden getting his eye poked out and used for the retina scan ...
plus 10 million. This is called the "Smithers" bonus after the character in the
movie.
Pressing both thumb buttons right after getting the U-Look-Gr8-2Day gives you a 10 million
"Feel Great" bonus ...
DIRTY HARRY
Williams 1995
When having the "Body Armor", drain the ball during "Meet the
mob". When the ball is launched back all the mobsters will have
cowheads.
Start a game just before midnight to enable "Midnight Madness".
DOCTOR WHO
Bally
09/92
With the Transmat not fully powered, hit the Transmat target. This
will at random show a cow in a doctor outfit along with a mooing
sound effect.
DRACULA
Williams
04/93
Durant la partie, During the game, a close-up of Dracula's eyes appears on the display
at random intervals. When his eyes are crossed (typically during idle periods early in a
game), press the Start button for a picture of Fluffy the Vampire (he looks suspiciously
like one of the Doctors from Dr. Who!) and 20 points. This may or may not work if you have
credits in the machine (the Start button may start another game instead).
Kill the groveller!
When the ball falls into the ball popper hole in the middle-left of the playfield and the
voice announces - "Master you
promised me eternal life!" and awards you 5,000,000, as soon as he says
"Master..." hit both flipper buttons
together!
FISH TALES Williams
1992
Press the start button 3 times when the "skeleton fish" is crossing
the display. This gives you a Fishbone bonus worth 10 points.
The person in the displays during the 10 point Fishbone bonus is
someone named Russ who went to school with Dot Matrix artist Scott
Slomiany. Reported to be an avid fisherman.
Stuff on the backglass:
The fishermen are artist Pat McMahon and designer Mark Ritchie.
The cap on McMahons´ head has "MAX" on it, a slightly used nickname
for him.
The fisherman in the water filled waders (wearing a baseball hat) is
Carl
Biagi - a Mechanical Engineer on many of Steve Ritchie's games.
The man being thrown out of the boat has "DUCK" on his right shoe.
The man being thrown out of the boat has "SKALON" (mechanical man
Jack Skalon) on his left shoe.
There's a beercan just above and to the right of the second boat
with CG (Chris Granner) on it.
There's a bag in the boat with the initials MP (Mark Penacho) on it.
The worm is Jim Patla. "It kind of fit his personality at the time"
-Brian Eddy.
On the side of the boat it says "imadv8" meaning "I am a deviate".
The name of the boat is "Crazy Johnny", named after John McMahon
(Pat´s brother?).
Stuff on the playfield:
The plastic lightshield near the right fish-targets shows a bug with
a parachute. On this parachute "BUZZ" is written and a "3".
There's a "3" on a plastic lightshield near the left outlane, it
shows a fake fish with hooks attached to it. These hooks are double
hooks, forming a "3".
THE FLINTSTONES Williams 1994
DOHO can be seen in the following places:
In the animation where you spell CONCRETE.
In the Match animation.
During Water Buffalo mode, on the side of the stage.
GETAWAY
Williams 02/93
A l'instant où vous venez de bloquer une 2ième bille, l'animation "donut
heaven" apparait sur l'afficheur et il doit y avoir 3 voitures de police garées. A
cet instant, actionner rapidement le levier de vitesse en haut et en bas, une paire de
fois. "secret mania" s'affiche quelques secondes plus tard. Resultat : pendant
20 secondes chaque cible touchée augmente de 500 mille points le bonus "Redline
Mania" qui est collecté à la fin du compte à rebours.
HURRICANE Williams
1991
Sometimes when you enter the lit Hurricane ramp, you can see
a picture of a cow accompanied with a moo, you can also get a
picture of a huge eye.
Sometimes the unlit Ferris Wheel will get you an inchworm or four
ducks.
INDIANA JONES : The Pinball
Adventure, Williams 1993
Watch the background during the Shoot Again animation, the
top right figure is a cow and DOHO can be seen to the left of it.
DOHO is written vertically on the crate to the right in the match
animation.
DOHO can be seen on the road sign in the Dr. Jones loop animation
sequence.
During two-ball multiball, shoot the captive ball 5 times to award
the item "The Fish Of Tales".
During "Find Marion" mode, after finding Marion, the shoot out scene
can be ended in two ways;
either shooting the mode start hole, or pulling the gun trigger.
After completing the shootout sequence, a face of a woman can be
seen on the side of the building in the background.
INDIANAPOLIS 
Bally
02/91
Secret Mode: Many times I have started a secret mode at the Center Hole, when Start
Race was lit. (Remember that I have no idea what Start Race does, or how to light it...)
The mode just told me that "Jets Give Neat Stuff". It didn't lie either. Each
jet improved it's own aspect of the game. The mode ended when the ball left the jets. This
mode only available when the ball is in the center hole and Green Flag is lit.
JUDGE DREDD Bally 1993
Press the red buttons when...
...you shoot the Sniper Tower to recollect the value and the sniper
smacks into a wire fence.
...the Safecracker guy opens the safe and smiles.
...Judge Dredd speaks into a C.B. and tells you to "get the Extra
Ball".
The criminal in "35 years for arms dealing" is the girl getting
kissed from "Creature from The Black Lagoon".
The criminal in "15 years for auto theft" is the snackbar operator
from "Creature from The Black Lagoon".
Hidden audits: In Attract mode when the display reads "CREDITS",
press 1L,1R,1L,1R,1L quickly. This will show audits about played
Super Games.
THE MACHINE
Williams 02/91
Shoot your 2nd ball into the Power Charge at the end of multiball. If you get credit
for the Power Charge while the other ball is being registered at the bottom of the drain
where it kicks it back to the reserve, DOUBLE SCORING WILL STAY ACTIVE! So if you have a
drain, shoot for the Power Charge as soon as you can. If you get it at the right time,
you're golden. However, it WILL end if you shoot the ball back up the Shuttle Ramp. It
might also end if you shoot the Power Charge again, but I'm not
sure about that.
MEDIEVAL MADNESS 
Williams
06/97
Une arme secrete est disponible dans le "video mode".
NO
FEARS Williams
05/95
BLLLLLLLLRLLLLLRLLLLLRLLLLLLRR (the same code as STTNG's game logos) which shows on the
display: Put your 3D glasses on now. If you use this during a game, then some of the stuff
on the DMD will "flitter" (or something) for that game, but it seems nobody
really knows what to make out of this. I tried playing a game, hitting the code at the
beginning, and wearing 3-D glasses for the whole game, but except for the red/orange
lights vs. blue areas of the playfield, I didn't see any 3-D effect. It looked kinda cool,
but the flickering DMD didn't do much for it.
If you hold down the extra ball button at the beginning of Air challenge, and hit the
skydive while holding it down and while it's still at 25M, you get 50M instead, and an MK3
hint. Skull says "Congratulations." I am told that in MK3, there is a secret
"move" which doesn't do anything, but displays the message "NO FEAR - EB
BUTTON, SKYDIVE, MAX COUNTDOWN." The MK3 Hint screen had "MK3 Hint" in big
letters with 6 boxes below it, and there was a picture (a face?) in the 3rd box.
ROADSHOW 
When in "Bob's bunker" and the display says "Uranium ore $3 a chunk"
hit both flippers together a couple of times to start construction madness mode.
SCARED TIFF 
Bally 09/96
1) If you press the start button 3 times you get two picks from the spider instead of
one.
2) Les programmeurs ont dissimulé dans le logiciel quelques une de leur date
d'anniversaire. A certaines dates, quand vous mettez sous tension le flipper, vous pouvez
entendre une fanfare et voir sur l'afficheur une message "happy birthday".
Les dates connues à ce jour sont :
Tania le 5 décembre
Alan le 22 février.
Mike 16 Mars
Cameron 18 Septembre
Eydie 5 Janvier
Heather 14 Mai
Paul 11 Novembre
Lindsey 24 Septembre

THE SHADOW 
Bally
11/94
n attract mode, hit the flippers to advance to the next screen (like STTNG). Hit both
flippers to see the scores of the last game played.
During the video mode, pull the trigger to clear the display, and keep it clear for a few
seconds. You can only do it once per video mode, and beware, when those Phurba's return,
there are plently of them, and they are f-a-s-t!
During the Mongol hurry up, pull the trigger to end the mode, and award 3 million.
STAR TREK TNG 
Williams 11/93
Poker with Riker: In the Holodeck when you are presented with the choice of 25 million
or Shuttle Simulation, hold in the trigger and press the right flipper button to play
poker with Riker.
Steve Ritchie's Easter Egg: To see the logo's of all of Steve Ritchie's past games, enter
this combination during a game, or in attract mode:
RR L R B R B LLLLLLLL R LLLLL R LLLLL R LLLLLL RR
[R = Right flipper, L = Left flipper, B = Both]
Secret Mission: When the right ramp lights a holodeck, the display says 'Holodeck x
ready'. When x is 3, pull the trigger three times. It's a 20 second frenzy where every
target is worth a weird number of points, and every target causes the communicator
sound.
Secret Video Mode, On the first ball hit a flipper x number of times and choose light
lock. Then on the second ball, hit a flipper y number of times and choose light lock.
Then on the third ball, hit a flipper z number of times and choose light holodeck. This is
all fact, although the exact values of x, y and z are unknown; as are which flippers to
hit.
When losing a play mode quickly or doing bad on it, Mr Data says "If you had
propelled the ball on the proper trajectory you would have been rewarded" before he
finishes his sentence, press both flipper buttons together, this shuts him up and awards
points.
Secret mission - when lighting the holodeck (via the right ramp) the machine displays
"holodeck X is ready", when X is 3, immediately pull the gun trigger three times
in quick succession. Sometimes the machine displays either 1,2 or 4, these have no effect
and cannot start the secret mission.
When the ball goes into the advance in rank hole when it is not lit for an award, a
shuttle craft is displayed leaving a star base (?), pull the gun trigger once and watch
the display.
In attract mode (when machine is idol) press the flipper buttons in this sequence, (B =
both flipper buttons together, L number of presses on the left button, R number of presses
on the right button.), B, 8L, 1R, 5L, 1R, 5L, 1R, 6L, 2R
THEATRE OF MAGIC 
Bally 02/95
Hold in the left flipper button when starting a game. "Congratulations!"
Display reads: Digital Pinball Selected. The first Basement Award will be Pinball, and you
play for 40 million.
Hold in the right flipper when starting a game. "Congratulations!" Display
reads: MK3 Symbols Activated. Spell THEATRE to Reveal Symbols. It didn't seem to do
anything, though.
Play Hat Magic, and shoot the Trunk three times. The third time will bring up a telephone.
The assistant puts it to her ear... "MOVE YER CAR!"
TWILIGHT ZONE
Bally 04/xx
As has already been described elsewhere, you can collect "cheat" Mania
Jackpots during Powerball Mania and Lost In The Zone by shooting the Camera shortly after
tripping the upper exit opto on the Powerfield. This is probably the most reliable and
helpful of the cheats listed here.
If the Extra Ball Buy-In is enabled on your machine, you can use it in a multi-player game
as a cheat. When the Buy-In is offered to Player One, wait for the ball to be delivered to
the plunger lane (this happens long before the Buy-In expires). Plunge the ball while the
Buy-In is still being offered and, before the ball reaches the gate in the plunger lane,
press Start or flip both flippers to abort the Buy-In. The software will not notice that
you tripped the Skill Shot Rollovers. Instead, it will see the ball in the Slot Machine
and award a random Door Panel as if you had hit the Slot Machine fairly. This will not
work, of course, if your machine does not relight the Slot Machine automatically and it
was previously unlit. This trick works even on L-4 ROMs.
I have been told that if there is at least one ball sitting in the Lock Lane and you have
an Extra Ball lit, you can pick the machine up and trip the Lock Lane sensor with that
ball to collect the Extra Ball. Supposedly, this will work even when the machine has
Tilted or when the Extra Ball Buy-In is being offered, but I have not verified this. I
have, however, had the machine mysteriously award the lit Extra Ball after a Death Save -
this is likely the same effect.
When Lost In The Zone starts, any balls in the Lock Lane are ejected, of course. However,
these balls are ejected early in the opening animation, before other balls are put into
play. If you are careful, you can get this ball up the Right Ramp right away, and if you
trip the upper exit opto, the balls coming out of the Gumball Machine will be counted as
Mania Jackpots!
Si vous gagnez une partie gratuite lors du décompte du bonus en fin de bille,
appuyez sur les 2 boutons de flip. Un bonus complémentaire de 5 millions est ajouté et
la mention "Bonus Flipper" s'affiche.
Note : si vous attendez pour appuyer sur les flips que le premier rouleau de l'animation
du jackpot s'arrête, vous avez droit en plus à une sympathique effet sonore.
There are persistent rumours and reported sightings of the Super Stunt Cow in Twilight
Zone. It has always been reported in a particular context: collecting a replay by loading
the Gumball Machine. Variations specify a lit right Spiral, a Powerball in play, lighting
Extra Ball from the lit right Spiral, etc. I have not seen this or been able to reproduce
it, so if it exists, the conditions are likely very picky.
