| Playfield Colors |
Production playfields show the regular production art as seen in the flyer where the man and the octopus tentacle undersides are green in color and the area under the upper ball arch is painted white. However, another playfield was made with alternate art where the man and tentacle undersides are a flesh-colored tan and the area under the upper arch is unpainted. See a comparison image in this IPDB listing. Indicate whether your playfield has the green man with white arch or has the tan man with unpainted arch. If your playfield is reproduction or has been swapped, select Replacement.

On Stern games from the 80's I have seen serial numbers stamped into the wood to the left of the coin door.

On Flight 2000 the serial number is stamped onto the left hand side of the backbox.

Serial numbers of early STERN pinball machines are four digits and are left at the bottom of the front and top left side of the backbox.

My serial number was directly under the "Coin Box" stapled to the bottom board.

The Serial Bot Summary information here gives a detailed explanation of the Serial
Bot analysis for this specific game. The theory behind the Serial Bot is this...
Every game has many many serial number submissions, the goal of the IPSND is not
to guarantee that *all* information is 100% correct but that over time, the system
should automatically devalue inaccurate submissions while increasing the value of
correct submissions.
You may click on the SerialBot score of any submission to see how it was calculated.
SerialBot Color Codes:
- Not Validated
|
The serial number submission has not yet been validated by the submitter via email.
|
- Unknown
|
There is no known information on the serial number format for this game yet. As
more submissions are received we can start to make a best guess on the serial number
format.
|
- Good
|
If a serial does not fail any of the tests for a status of Warning or Bad, then
it is good.
|
- Suspect
|
A serial will have a suspect status if the format is technically correct but there
is something wrong with the data. Examples might be that the number might be too
high or low for the known range of serials for this game.
|
- Bad
|
If a game has a serial number definition mask defined for it, then a serial may
be marked as 'bad' if the number does not validate agains the mask. Masks are created
for games by looking at known serial number formats and consist of a regular expression
to define the format of a game serial.
|
SerialBot Scores:
|
1 Point
|
Awarded if the serial number has a game assigned to it. This autoatically makes
submissions with a known game more valuable than submissions without a known game.
|
|
1 Point
|
Awarded if the serial number has been 'verified' by the submitter. A submission
is 'verifed' if the submitter clicks on the link in the email sent to them for each
submission. The basis for this rule is that submissions by people that do not take
the time to respond to the email might be entering garbage data and/or giving fake
email addresses. However, it is common for 'verification' emails to get stuck in
spam filters etc, so, members may have 'verification' emails re-sent at any time.
|
|
1 Point
|
Awarded if the submitted serial number matches one of the predefined serial number
masks for this game.
|
|
1 Point
|
Awarded if the serial number was marked as 'Physically Viewed' during the submission
process. This is an interesting distinction as there are many times that serial
numbers are submitted off owners lists, Ebay auction, etc. While these serial numbers
are valuable, they may also be innacurate. In comparison, Physically Viewed serial
number submissions are numbers that the submitter has actually been in front of
the machine reading the number and then submitting it. Since it is more likely to get
a good visual from a physically viewed machine, this gains an extra point.
|
|
1 Point
|
If a photo is uploaded with the serial number submission. The submission automatically gains an additional point. Be aware
however that this opens the submission up to 'Nudges' by members where even more points can be added or subtracted based upon the
quality and accuracy of the photo.
|
|
-3 to +3 Points
|
Members can 'Nudge' every sumitted photo once and give it an extra boost of 1 point or take away 1 point depending if the
photo matches the submitted serial number. While any number of members may nudge a serial, the nudging can only affect the score
by +/- 3 points in either direction.
