Differences between TAF and TAFG
To commemorate the best selling pinball machine
ever, Bally made this Collector's Edition of The Addams Family in
a limited series of 1000 games.
The regular version of TAF was made in
excess of 22,000, breaking the old record of 20,230 held by Eight
Ball.
What differs TAFG from TAF is the following:
Legs, lock down bar, cabinet side rails and operations
manual are all gold colored.
The same goes for the jet bumpers, Thing's box,
the bookcase, center ramp wire form, and the artwork on the cabinet and
bottom arch.
A numbered and engraved plaque is mounted on
the front of the cabinet.
A certificate of authenticity is included, numbered
and signed by the whole design team.
New speech is included.
A Buy-In button is included.
Changes in game play:
Cousin Its Hideout: When given a Mansion Room
award, you will sometimes also achieve Cousin Its Hideout
(1-4 times per whole mansion, operator adjustable).
The Hideout awards are (given in random
order):
Cousin Its Hat (5M)
Cousin Its Hair Brush (5M)
Cousin Its Sunglasses (7M)
Cousin Its Car Keys (8M)
Cousin Its Hair Spray (10M)
Cousin Its Hair Dryer (15M)
Cousin Its Wristwatch (20M)
Cousin Its Gold Chain (25M)
Cousin Its Gold Pinball (light extra ball)
Cousin Its Bag of Gold (light special)
Wednesday and Pugsley's Secret Passage: When awarded the 3M Room you will also get another random Room.
Super Seance: The Seance Room is sometimes replaced
with Super Seance, where each "knock" is worth 5M more than the usual Seance.
