Frankenstein
''Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus'' is an 1818 novel written by English author Mary Shelley. ''Frankenstein'' tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was 18, and the first edition was published anonymously in London on 1 January 1818, when she was 20. Her name first appeared in the second edition, which was published in Paris in 1821. Shelley travelled through Europe in 1815, moving along the river Rhine in Germany, and stopping in Gernsheim, away from Frankenstein Castle, where, two centuries before, an alchemist had engaged in experiments.This seems to mean Johann Konrad Dippel (1673–1734), one century before (not two). For Dippel's experiments and the possibility of connection to ''Frankenstein'' see the Dippel article. She then journeyed to the region of Geneva, Switzerland, where much of the story takes place.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (pinball)
''Mary Shelley's Frankenstein'' is a 1995 pinball machine released by Sega Pinball. It is based in the film of the same name. Layout The game uses three full-size flippers, two of which are at the bottom in the normal position while the third is located farther up the table. Other features include two regular-size triangular slingshots at the bottom of the table, along with an 'alive' kickback ball save at the left outlane. There are no under-the-playfield tunnels, however, but the game features two scoops; the Geneva scoop (lower) and the Sarcophagus scoop (upper). Four pop-bumpers can be found on the left side of the table, near an 'Ice-cave'; a small hole which, when targeted, will give the player a random bonus as well as relighting the alive kickback (if, already, unlit). There is a ramp at the back of the table which feeds the left inlane. Next to that, there is the "North Pole" VUK (Vertical up Kicker) which kicks up into a ramp that feeds the right inlane. The toy in th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
