Zingy Bingy
Capcom, 1997Python’s Infamous pornographic pinball machine Zingy Bingy manages to derail every thread it’s mentioned in.
Post pictures, info, articles, stories here. This is a general post for all things Capcom related, so that news, such as the tireless BBB remake remake rumors, can stay on-topic

I love Capcom Pinball. They had a great series of interviews in a few issues of Pingame Journal magazine. I used to have them all but when I sold my PM I gave them to the new owner. I did take a bunch of pictures that I orginally posted in the PM owners thread. I realize this is not the best way to read the article, so maybe if anyone else has these issues and wouldn't mind scanning them, they'd be doing us a big solid.
Anyway, here is what I have. Super interesting information being shared here
pingame1.jpgpingame2.jpgpingame3.jpgpingame4.jpgI was fortunate enough to play a few games on The Concept Game - Red Line Fever at expo years back.
Zing Bingy was being worked, but were there any other titles that Capcom Pinball was working on.
I personally do not recall any , but figured I would ask.

Can you give some more info on Red Line Fever? It’s been a game that has intrigued me for a long time. Greg Kmeic is one of my favorites designers of all time. I’d like to track down some photos of it, and try translating that to VP. Greg said it was his best design ever, I need to know how it flipped!!!

Only photo I'm aware of:
I have to say that when I first got into pinball just a few years ago Python's was the first name I learned. All his games and art scream creativity and, as a hippie psycho-naught myself, I appreciate his "vibes." 
So much of the rest of pinball seems dominated by either a redneck/biker/dominant culture or fanboy/family/capitalist calculations, but Python clearly wanted to push the medium as an art form. Zingy Bingy looks like awesome adult fun to me (not pornography), and might have been a hit in bars. It's not exploitative like sexy girl/playboy/whoa nelly (not that I have anything against appreciating the female figure), but is clearly making fun of the human animal and our desperate sexual urges. Someone should make a VPX version, if nothing else!
At first I though I definitely needed a Python game as my first machine, but as I got further into the hobby I fell in love with Steve Ritchie's design and then Keith Elwin's. Python's games are beautiful and have the best art, but I'm a flow guy now and his games are hard. Maybe one day if a cyclone comes along for the right price. Regardless, I believe the whole pinball world owes a huge debt to Python. His games were hit and miss for sure, but when they did hit they moved the whole hobby forward. Zingy Bingy (which undoubtably would have been renamed, probably "Adam and Eve," might have become a staple in bars if it'd hit the scene ten years earlier (when he first imagined it). Python's death was a tragic loss for our community. I'm sorry he wasn't around to make it to this third golden age of pinball we are in now, I'm sure he would have contributed more legendary machines.

"Today's "From the Archives":
Continuing with the CAPCOM pinball and "games never made" theme. Designer Ward Pemberton was given the Capcom pinball project/model number PB-2. It was under the working title of "Toy Land". Artist Jeff Busch was put on the artwork. He is the artist that did the art for Pinball Magic (PB-1). We found a folder of about 50 sketches that Jeff did for the project. So here's a couple. It is interesting to see his style is similar to that of Python Anghelo. Also we found a couple engineer meeting notes about the game."

This is some cool stuff. I know there has been a lot of folk trying to figure out what projects the “missing” model numbers went too!

Sure is.. a lot more interesting stuff on the FB-page. I Wonder what "Pit & Pendulum" looked like, which must've been a redemption machine according to the abbreviation next to the name.
