Shaq Attaq
Gottlieb, 199520151110_204104.jpg
I think this game is a SLAM DUNK... one of the more under rated games out there. It's a blast to play.. has great art & the call outs are entertaining. Let's see your Shaq Attaq restore/repair advice, mods & thoughts on this game.
Next step is to clean everything & put on new Titan competition orange rings & orange t-molding.

Sry....it's true... 
....as long as you enjoy it...I love my RK and thought of starting a club...but knew it would be just like this one...I've yet to play Shaq...so I may be back.....have a good one man..........Joey
Quoted from Scout:I'm the only fan? No way... I don't believe it.
I am a fan. I love playing my Shaq Attaq. Please post a pic once you get the orange t-molding in.
Quoted from Scout:& the call outs are entertaining
That is the first time I've ever heard that in regards to Shaq. I think I might enjoy having my fingernails pulled off with a pair of pliers more. 
Shaq is a great lineup pin and a lot of fun to just play. I recently had to part ways with mine, but i'm okay with that decision. It was either that, or my Back to the Future, but I think anyone knows which game is way easier to get back. I'd much rather go on the hunt for a Shaq that everyone seems to hate over BTTF 
I see you went with my idea for orange t molding and orange rubber
that was my kit I put together at the titan rubber website. I hope I got everything down (I think I did) I can't remember if I included the 2 rings for the outlane because I removed them to make the game harder.
One of the great things about this game is you can play with friends and have a blast playing for just the separate basket points. A lot of different possibilities in gameplay this way (first to 5 wins, 2 on 2 combined scores, playoffs with 4 players) All inventive made up stuff, but a lot of fun!
Enjoy!
Glad to see some other Shaq Attaq fans here.
I bought a nos translite which didn't have the white SHAQ sticker logo on the upper right like the original translite did. I think it looks better without the logo but in your opinion.... should it go back on the nos one... if it was yours?
Shaq is one of my all time favorite LSU players. Easily the best athletic emissary LSU has ever had. He attends at least a few football games every year.
I'm glad someone enjoys his game. I wonder if he has one?
I enjoy a game on Shaq....revived one a year ago and a buddy of mine has it. Perfect entry pin or pin for a family environment.
I have been chatting via Facebook with the designer of Shaq Attaq (very nice guy).... Jon Norris. He ok'd me to post what he sent me regarding the process of designing & some of the politics that go with being involved.
Mr Norris says...
"Shaq Attaq was drastically changed late in the games development cycle when the marketing department demanded that we change the playfield art. I had a feature grid on the playfield like Surf N Safari, where completing shots filled in to trigger/qualify features. I still have the drawing of that original version. Also, marketing insisted on the "Coach" and wouldn't allow me to add a game setting to totally eliminate him. I had to settle on reduced nag speech instead. Finally, the original backglass art had an awesome Shaq shattering a backboard, but it was rejected by the licensor. The "Giant Shaq" art was rushed and incomplete. Take a look at the cheerleader’s arms. Despite these issues, the game was a commercial success."
"Here is a picture of the armless cheerleader"
"I live in Las Vegas, working for a Slot machine Company. I will be going to Pinball Expo when I finish my pinball game, but probably in 2017 since it will take me a couple of years to make and program the game."
Quoted from cosmokramer:Looks like the cheerleader has her arm behind her back...
This other cheerleader is the best with nub arm.
There's was a Shaq pin at a local auction yesterday...sold for $500
I thought about bidding, but decided to pass.
quick shout out to Collin here on Pinside....he can fix the scoreboard digits in case anyone has one that is not working properly...
I am a fan also. Fun and underrated game for sure!
Please help me on my quest to find the spinning disc decal:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/wtb-shaq-attaq-spinning-disc-decal
I am interested in the disc decal as well. I was just going to make one on the computer and have a decal shop make it for me. If I do end up getting them made, I will let you know. Or if anyone has any, I would be interested in one as well.
Quoted from SNES:I was just going to make one on the computer and have a decal shop make it for me. If I do end up getting them made, I will let you know.
If you do this, I will be interested. So far nobody has contacted me about the decal, so I still have to wait patiently.
I'm beginning to clean up the Shaq Ataq, put on new orange, white & blue Titan Competition rubber, a Cointaker LED kit & a new plunger setup.
I noticed there was a metal part near the plunger that may be bent or may supposed to be this way. Can someone please show a picture or tell me how it should be? Thanks
Thanks tons dozer1 ! I never thought to look on Ebay. I have the shooter rod kit & saw a YouTube video on how to put it in. I should be able to take that piece out and put it back into the original shape. Thanks again
I saw on Facebook that someone was looking for the newest ROM (v5) for Shaq Attaq. How does this ROM change the game?
You can find the rev 5 ROM here (search for "game firmware updates")

* Fixed power on machine from hang getting tilt messageses
* Fixed 2 tilt warnings ( Tilt Witch ferme, something about "Gesshlossen"
* Fixed Better count on drainet balls/multiball (still some bugs yet)
Quoted from scampcamp:Has anyone taken the right plastic ramp off? I have it loose except for the front (circled) is attached but I can't find where. Is there a screw hidden somewhere?
More than likely under the metal ramp piece. It's like that on Barb Wire. Remove that and see if there is anything under it.
Quoted from blowback1976:More than likely under the metal ramp piece. It's like that on Barb Wire. Remove that and see if there is anything under it.
blowback1976 - Thank you very much! You are correct. 
Quoted from 27dnast:This might be Pinside's "hardest-core" game club.
Hey 27dnast.... your collection isn't really that high end either so go lay down by your dish. 
Quoted from scampcamp:Has anyone taken the right plastic ramp off? I have it loose except for the front (circled) is attached but I can't find where. Is there a screw hidden somewhere?
You've got to take the entire metal scoop assembly out to get it off properly. You may as well take everything off and shop it out while you're at it 
Quoted from Gerrard17:You've got to take the entire metal scoop assembly out to get it off properly. You may as well take everything off and shop it out while you're at it
Yea.... you are right. I have it pretty much all taken off now & it's cleaning up great.
27dnast - I hope you know I was just trying to be funny.... it looked negative when I re-read what I wrote to you. 
Quoted from scampcamp:Where can I find these plastic tabs that hold the lens caps over the bulbs? Thanks
Plastic snap rivets. Gottlieb used them on thier later games:
http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/249-5015-00
They come in different sizes, and many other suppliers should also stock them.
Thanks guys! I just made a order with Pinball Resource. I needed a rubber kit & flipper bats also. Steve's a great guy.
Thanks blowback1976.... I just pulled harder
Now... I'm trying to decide which color flipper rubber... I put light blue for the post sleeves & orange t-molding on the backbox..... which I may change. I have orange & white Titan competition rubber but for everything else but flipper rubber I'm going to use white.
Quoted from burningman:quick shout out to Collin here on Pinside....he can fix the scoreboard digits in case anyone has one that is not working properly...
anyone have his info? I need to contact him about my red led digits too
