Picked up a beautiful Pinball Magic yesterday from a fellow board member, It had a few switches that needed tweaking and a couple of bulbs out so I opened her up to have a little fiddle about and noticed something Ive never seen on another machine,
Now did I just stumble onto a Capcom factory secret?
I noticed something as I was checking out under the hood of the game in the corner of the glass slide rail,
Upon closer inspection it seemed like a coin, Which it was, So I just figured it had got wedged under there over the years by accident and tried to pick it out by hand,
No such luck
It had been deliberately glued in place and the pictures show the glue residue, Now note the date on the coin 1993,
Plus the "patina" of the top of the coin which was tails up has weathered and changed color over the years, the 1993 heads side in is fine shape and I really think this has been there undisturbed for 21 years and someone from the Capcom factory put it there on purpose,
Could other pinball magic owners look at their game and see if they have it too?
Was this a good luck secret thing that the Capcom game staff did because it was their first game or am I just way overthinking this?
I would love to think this has a meaning and isn't just a huge coincidence
The serial number of my game is 0001809 Made November 1995 if that means anything to anyone
Everyone go check your games!!
