Trivia

  • Perhaps the most obscene and rarest pinball ever created.
  • As the story goes, Capcom Pinball's parent company, Capcom Japan was ready to close down the pinball company's operations in early 1997. Employees were listless, and the production design effort had stalled on Big Bang Bar and Kingpin in 1996. Management gave employees a wide berth and maintained even more lax controls. Strange employee, Python Anghelo took it upon himself to design an outrageous pinball that would turn the industry on its head. He created an X-rated game, complete with artwork of foul genitalia and a concept of "having sexual intercourse" as part of the rule set. He constructed a single prototype to a reported 80%. When the president of Capcom Japan arrived in January 1997 to assess the viability of its pinball division, he was given a brief demonstration of Zingy Bingy for the first and only time. His reaction was to leave the company premises without a word, and he returned to Japan immediately. Capcom Pinball was closed 2 days later.
  • The fate of the prototype Zingy Bingy is unknown. Whether it was completed or scrapped is a question that has never been answered. It may be owned by Capcom still, or perhaps Python Anghelo retained it, given the horror that the game's concept instilled in fellow Capcom employees.
  • (Update: The prototype survived, and is in the hands of a private collector in Southern California.)
