Hello,

I received some pinball pictures from someone on vacation in Ukraina a
few days ago. Never seen this game before. Backglass and apron written
in "Russian". Used nixie tubes for score displays.

I'm trying to trace back for permission to show them on the ipdb.

In the mean time, if anyone can accurately translate into English what
it says, I would be happy to forward the pictures.

Thanks!

Jay

No, I'm not sure at all. If it turns out to be Ukrainian, I may have to
post this thread all over again? :)

I sent the pics to everyone who asked for them here, so far.

Thanks, everyone!

I am amazed by the breadth of his knowledge as well as his willingness
to share. Maybe the folks at NASA should give Lloyd a call to help out
with that falling foam problem ;)

Having trouble. Top of apron is something and then to play. But it doesn't
seem to be rules or instructions. LTG :)

I don't know about "accurately", but I am of a Slavic descent, my mother
tongue is somewhat similar to Russian, and I will look at it if you want.

Why ? I know some Russian, but no Ukranian. And the game was seen in
Ukraine. Ukraine has been reverting back to their language for some years
now. LTG :)

One of my co-workers is fluent in Russian. If you don't get a
translator feel free to email me the pics, I can get you a translation
tomorrow.

Here's the translation written for the picture:
http://www.txpinball.com/images/RGP_hosted/Ukrainian_game_backglass_translated.jpg

It should be up in a few minutes. Basically it says "Sport" in big and
smaller letters and at the bottom "Game Over" in Russian/Ukrainian Cyrillic.

Best regards,

Yes, it is rules. Original poster also emailed me asking me about the
letters on the right top side of backglass. I haven't even noticed those.
>Did you make anything out of the small characters in the little blue box in
the upper right backglass?
--> Oh, haven't even noticed those till now. I do not know the word, but the
letters are P-R-N(could be "V", hard to see/say)-I. If it's "PRVI", that
means "first", if it's PRNI, have no clue.

The apron:
"Rules of the game" (big letters, first row)
Second row: "Up to 4 people can play this game, depending on how many
tokens?quarters? (the word they use is "money") they put in. The rest is
friggin' hard.

The 3 letter word on the playfield means "line", the big one above it, I
have absolutely no clue. It's game rules, but I really cannot make a
coherest sentence out of it after a few first rows where they talk about
players, I sorta guess a word here and there int hat text, from then on, but
nto enough. Hope that helps.

I'm sinking fast on this one. It's cyrillic letters sounding like Pe -
err - i - but haven't figured out what they are doing with the I. I have
the worst Russian - English dictionary at work and I don't have the cyrillic
alphabet on my computer anymore. LTG :(

Jay:

Here ya go, Comrade.

Rules of the Game

Up to four people can play, depending on the number of tokens (coins)
inserted, which determines the number indicated by the lit digital
displays.

To start the game, press the button on the front marked "start of
play."

There are 5 balls to a game.

Players shoot the ball onto the playfield with the shooter rod.

The player whose display is lit is up next.

Press the buttons on the side to use the flippers to try and keep the
ball in play as long as possible.



"dopolnitjelniy shar" on the playfield means "extra ball"

It is Russian, not Ukrainian. Ukrainian will look similarly but with a
letter like the English "i".
