    I've been searching every where for a website that has about 500 pinball rules sheets, and it seems to not exist.

    Let me state were I've been: IPDB does NOT include game instructions, KLOV, PINSIDE, Daveland ( World Pinball Directory-all web links too), IFPA. etc,.

    Sites that have some game rules and strategy of play:
    Pinball.org (PAPA), pinball news.com, stern pinball.com, gameplanpinball.com, (and now Tiltforums, pintips, VPForums) have some more, BUT these sites combined will only account for about 250. PLUS the rules are only in type set, which makes it hard to understand the instructions because there are NO pics.

    If there isn't one, then let's make one place that you can find several hundred pinball games rules and strategy, and especially with screen shots of the play fields. It would be a highly visited website! NOTE: let the game owners put up the info, so the site owner won't be doing much of the work.

    I already referenced them, but they only have about 100 games (pinball.org).

    I've already referenced them but thank you anyways.

    Oh boy, Tiltforums will help add many more pins to my list, but there are still several hundred more that need adding. What a great find. Pintips.net assumes you already know the rule sheet very well. Your recommendations have allowed me to alter my original post to now state only rule sheet. We need a site that lists about 500 pin's RULE SHEETS. This site I don't think exits.

    Quoted from stevevt:

    Not really true. What is true, however, is that a lot of people are enthusiastic about writing game tips but have no idea how to convey their thoughts in a useful way.

    i apologize for not stating more clearly what I'm looking for. Well, I've edited my original post, and what I believe the pinball community desperately needs, which is rule sheets with pics.

    I own a virtual pinball machine with 362 games, and after adding the rule sheets from tilt forums I now have 209 games with instructions. That's all I'm aware of after hours of searching all the pinball websites. Hours of works. We need ONE website! There are probably 750 games widely used today I'm guessing. One website giving rule sheets for at least 500 pins would be popular and helpful.

    Quoted from snyper2099:

    Sweet. How much does this job that you are trying to hire someone for pay?

    The hourly wage is actually up for negotiation, so it would be whatever your willing to pay yourself.
