You may enter your website here. There will be a link to this site from your submission details.

Enter the country that the game is currently in. Please do not enter your country if the game is located in a different country. We are trying to track serial trends and where games were shipped from the distributor.

Location:

Country name is required

Enter the serial number of your game here. Be sure to verify your serial in multiple places on the game if possible as it can be difficult to read serial numbers especially when they are stamped into the wood.

Serial Number:

Note: Spaces and dashes are removed automatically

Some games have a serial number that is formatted specifically for that game, it may have a special prefix/suffix or have special characters in the middle of the number. Be sure to enter your serial number in the format examples as shown otherwise the site will not accept your submission.

Serial Number is required

It is often the case that game serials can be registered by non-owners when a game is at a show etc. We want to be able to distinguish ownership if possible.

Owner Status:

Yes, I currently own this game.

No, I do not currently own this game.

It is important for us to distinguish between serial numbers tha have been submitted by physically reading them off a game vs. serial submissions that come from other sources such as owner's list, auctions, RPG posts or other sources. The value of these other sources is still there but they inherently have a little less value simply because there is more chance of error since the submitter is not looking at the actual machine.

Collection Method:

I read this serial number directly off the machine being registered.

The serial number is from another source such as an owner's list or auction site.

Specify if the serial number you are registering is for a complete games, just the backbox or just the cabinet. You may also specify that the serial number you are submitting is for a game part such as a CPU, Driver or other PCB. It is common for games to have PCB's from other games due to repairs etc. These are still valuable to us as they verify the existence of serial numbers. If you submit a game part serial number under a specific game, that serial will not be directly linked to that game but will be put into the database as a stand alone serial number.

Game Part:

(What Happened to Game Parts?) Game Part is required

It is common for games to have a datestamp somewhere on them, it is often stamped on the edge of the playfield plywood on the front edge. It is occaisionaly on the side edge. It is also common for games not to have this date anywhere on the cabinet. Please only submit dates that are on the game itself, not from other sources.

Date Stamps:

Specify if the game or part is complete, only of value as parts or unknown to you.

Game Condition:

Game condition is required

Game Traits are properties that you or anyone else can add to a game in the IPSND. There are instances where a particular game model may have features, printing differences or other properties that changed through the production run of the game. It is often interesting to find trends about these features and collect info on what exact serial number range that feature existed on. An example is Williams 1981 game Jungle Lord which had two different cabinet colors, red and blue.

Game Traits: (Submit your own custom Fields)

Backglass Style - There exists 3 types of backglass' for Capt. Fantastic. The earliest games were unique in that they had score rollover lamps in the backglass that said 'Over the top' when a players score topped 99,999 points. The second and third varieties had the more common '100,000' lamps instead. There were two different types of '100,000' backglasses. The first being referred to 'Non-Starred' because of a lack of Mirrored Stars over 'explicit' areas of the crowd scenes. The more common 'Starred' backglass had mirrored stars interspersed in the crowd scenes to cover those explicit areas.

Star Rollover's Color - Most PF's had Green Star Rollovers. Some PF's have been seen having Orange Star Rollovers in both side lanes and in the top lane area.

Drop Target Special Insert - The color of this insert is typically red with the words 'When Lit' on it. At least one game left the factory with a white insert having these words.

Cabinet Front Red/Blue Sequence - Some Early Production cabinet fronts were painted with their red and blue colors in an opposite sequence than shown on the sides of the cabinet. This is most easily seen on the front corners of the cabinet where each front leg attaches. Most games have blue meeting blue at this seam. Some Early Production games, and maybe others, show red on the cabinet front meeting blue on the cabinet side. When this is the case, you will actually notice the entire cabinet front is painted "in reverse" with respect to the red and blue.

Signature Playfield - A pilot run of playfields had the signatures of the designer and artist in the black area below each outlane. Designer Greg Kmiec believed there were a quantity of ten signed ones made in this pilot run before management caught on and made them remove the signatures for production games. It had been assumed by this decision that the ten did not appear on production games, but in fact at least one of them has been found on an Early Production game. Assuming that game left the factory that way, this discovery caused Greg to reconsider his assertion that there were only ten made. NOTE added 08/06/2017: we are asking if your playfield has the silkscreened signature pictured here. We are NOT asking if your playfield has been individually or personally signed by the designer, artist, or anyone else after the game left the factory, as often happens at pinball shows.
