I have a couple project war machines I want to get going in near future and to be honest I haven't even looked inside yet.
I'll check tomorrow and see if there is anything with them.

I would also be interested in finding schematics for this. Looks pretty simple but could come in handy in the future. Very fun game!

I will really try to look tonorrow

Aren't you glad it did not have a battery that leaked all over everything?

Man.... I have this game as my coffee table downstairs.... But has no boards in it.... I would love to find a set of boards if someone has a set they are willing to let go? Or hell even borrow and I can make a copy of .... Would LOVE to get the game going again ....

On the thread topic... I too will look inside to see if I have any papers on it tomorrow... When I get back for my the lake

Wow that's deep.... I might be able to think about that a few more years under my belt...

I have a extra set of boards I could loan you
Not sure if they are working or not as I have not had time to play with these machines yet

I would also be interested in a set of legs
I'm missing a set for one machine
I'm sure I could remake them but thought I throw iit out there

That would be awesome.... I am sure with a copy I can make something work.... And with the help of Pinside and forceflow I am sure I could even do it from scratch ...

Ya I can see that working.... That's a great thought

As mentioned when you asked me, I have this version. Did you actually find someone else that has it too? I have seen a number of Wars, and mine is the only one like this.

I'm curious if the scoring was fixed for the all electronic version of the game. I enjoy the head to head aspect of the game, but can't stand the scoring in either single or multiplayer modes. Would love if someone would make it so it makes sense.

Also, if anyone has a set of plastics, I'd be interested Mine are non-existant.

Mine isn't handy at the moment at all, sorry. I'm currently renovating the basement to make it into an arcade, and right now there are only like two games down there. War is packed up and with a buddy.

The rules all make sense. The right flipper button "serves" the ball into play. What doesn't make sense is that...

On a 2p game, the center shot which turns off your opponents flippers for a bit of time (awesome feature, by the way) scores the same as the opponent losing the ball. It's possible once you get halfway good at the game to shoot the ball over the center shot six times and then you can just keep letting it drain on your side to "win". It's rather silly, and the game should either give the most points to the player who does not lose the ball, or track it separately and only give the player who "wins" a score in the end.

Single player is even weirder, as both sides of the game track points individually still, something I hope the all electric version would fix. The first couple times playing it in single player mode is surprisingly fun because literally nothing else plays like it, but then after that when you start trying to figure out if you did better or not and the scoring is nonsensical, it becomes stupid.

Mine for the longest time became a table to store crap on in my garage because I didn't have anyone to play head to head with regularly, and it's quite boring by itself.

I picked up one of these last week. It lights up but doesn't seem to do anything else.
I have yet to lift the playfield and see what's under there. Mine has the kickout holes.

Will be watching this thread...

Hopefully the manual.

I can confirm the electronic version works the same way. A shot through the middle is worth 10,000 points and disables the opponents flippers. If the opponent loses the ball while there flippers are disabled, you don't get the additional 10,000 points for scoring. Always seemed weird to me. I'd almost prefer it score like foosball and just counts goals.
