1 Introduction

Allied Leisure (ALI) is best known for making machines with "short" playfields; the two "shaker ball" EM machines, and several "cocktail" pinball machines in the late 1970s, which they produced under the names "Allied Leisure Industries" and "Fascination International" with identical hardware (Gameplan was also making cocktail pinball machines in the late 1970s with completely different hardware based on Bally's designs). They also produced several "traditional form factor" solid-state pinball machines in the mid-1970s.

3 Technical Info

3.1 Board Set

3.1.1 Generation 1

The system with multiple circuit boards has been designated as "generation 1". It was used in Rock On, Dyn 'O Mite, T.N.T., Thunderbolt, and Boogie. All the games used the same cabinet, the same playfield layout (but not all had the same artwork), and the same wiring (other than the difference between the number of displays for 2-player and 4-player games). Sounds were provided by a set of chimes.

There are two lamp boards. One of these boards is located in the backbox, and another in the cabinet.

3.3 Switch Matrix

All solid-state ALI / Fascination games use the exact same MPU board and software; game "rules" are changed simply by rearranging the placement of switches, targets, lamps, pop bumpers, and other elements on the playfield.
