What would truly kick ass would be if someone could create a kit to add to Xenon to play the hi-fi versions of the sounds/music created.

The person who wrote the music for the original Tron Disney movie, also a woman... eventually. I used all the music in my original Tron pinball game.

Love electronic music.

When I remade Bally's Xenon for digital pinball, I did use all the hi-fi stuff and extra callouts not used in the game. Plus I added some of Suzanne Cianni's original compositions.

Elevates the game to a 'whole new level', as you people are fond of saying.

Huh, my brother sent me this link 2 weeks ago because he knows I like pinball. Very coincidental.

great voice ....

Clearly you're all spying on me!

If you're a fan a couple years ago a company put out a 7", it doesn't say it's sold out here:

BK, Xenon, Fathom, Medusa, and EBD all in a row at the end there. Damn I miss old school arcades.

What's really amazing is that someone had the brains and fortitude to actually get in there and record all this greatness for posterity sake. I mean, the fact that this is the first ever female voice (what a great voice) in a pinball machine and that a lot of what she came up with, worked on, developed, created and brought to life was actually recorded, documented and preserved for historical purposes is truly awesome.

I love stuff like this. Thanks for posting it up Neal and kudos to everyone that had a hand in creating that way back then.

Boingboing just recycled this article on a slow news day:

There are several threads over the past 9 years talking about her contributions

This just popped into my YouTube feed today. Pretty cool stuff
