"Lost World", "Jurassic Park", "SEGA", and a whole slew of other things are 
probably trademarks and copyrights of SEGA. This rulesheet is made in good
faith and may be distributed in any form, just don't charge for it.

Overview
--------

	Lost World is the sequel to Data East's (now SEGA) Jurassic Park.
	Many DMD animations have been reused from Jurassic Park and we
	see the return of the Smart Missile as well.

Goal
----

	Reach San Diego by starting *and* completing the five modes:
	 - Site B	
	 - Raptor Two-ball	
	 - Mobile Lab	
	 - Baby T-Rex	
	 - GPS
	
	Each are described separately below.

Playfield and Basic Rules
-------------------------

Flippers:  
	Standard SEGA flippers in their usual position. 
	There are dino-decals on each.

Slingshots:
	Standard slingshots in the normal spots.

Left inlane/outlane:
	Plenty of rubber here to save the ball; saves seem to be easy here.
	Lights the T or R in TREX. Unlike Attack from Mars where you can
	cycle the letters from right outlane to left outlane, you are only 
	able to cycle the letters on the left inlane and outlane with the 
	left flipper.

RAP targets:
	Located in approximately the same place at the Space Jam targets on 
	Space Jam. These targets are much easier to hit from the right flipper 
	than the left. These lights are cycled by the slingshots. Completing
	Raptor for the first time lights Raptor Two-ball, see "Raptor Two-ball"
	section for more. Slingshots rotate which targets in RAPTOR are lit.

	
Left loop/spinner:
	Lights up Lost, you only have to trigger the spinner for it to count.
	Completing left and right loops lights the egg for a random award. See
	"The Egg Scoop" for more. One of the three locks is collected here. 
	Collects jackpots in Multiball. See "Multiball" for more. Repeated 
	loops score Jurassic Loop. See "Misc.  Extras" for more. Weak shots 
	fall down the middle loop or drop into the bumpers. The spinner is the
	main shot in Mobile Lab. See "Mobile Lab" for more.

S standup:
	Just to the right of the left loop, one of the letters for SITEB.
	Extra ball is collected here.
	See "Site B" for more.

Middle loop:
	A tight shot located in approximately the same spot as the
	lock ramp on Attack from Mars; it's immediately to the right of the S
	target. One of the three locks is collected here. Collects super jackpot
	during multiball. See "Multiball" for more. The jackpot shot during raptor
	See "Raptor Two-ball" for more. Extra ball is lit at 5 shots, points are 
	awarded every 5 shots afterwards.

Drop target/Snagger:
	Immediately to the right of the middle loop and directly in front of 
	the snagger toy. The snagger is a small truck-like toy which picks up 
	the ball and deposits it in the snagger. There is a magnet located
	about two balls length in front of this which stops the balls before 
	pickup. Lock is lit after 4 hits.

I standup:
	Just to the right of the drop target, one of the letters for SITEB.
	Hits to the drop target often hit this as well.
 	See "Site B" for more.

Left ramp:
	Almost in the middle of the table, winds up to the left and down the left
	side of the machine, can be hit from either flipper.
	Spots one of the letters for GPS. See "GPS" for more. Jackpots are 
	collected here during regular multiball.  Feeds left inlane.

T standup:
	Located at the right of the ramp entrance, one of the letters for SITEB.
	See "Site B" for more.
	
Jet bumpers:
	Three bumpers located in the standard triangular pattern.
	There is a lane just to the right of the T target where the ball can be
	shot into, or fall out of.

More time standup:
	Located just to the left of the jet bumper lane. Increases bumper value
	when unlit, adds time to modes when lit. See "More Time" for more.
	Can be hit directly from the right flipper or from a lucky hit off the 
	bumpers. 

J and P rollovers:
	Located directly above the bumpers. Advances bonus multipliers (6X max)
	Extra ball lit at 6X.

Egg Scoop:
	To the right of the bumper lane facing slightly to the left. A giant 
	baby T-Rex egg sits on top and opens to reveal a baby T-Rex at appropriate
	times. Various awards are collect here as well as Baby TREX. See "Egg
	Scoop" and "Baby TREX" for more. Kickout should hit the left flipper
	much like the scoop on Attack from Mars.

E standup:
	Located to the right of the scoop, one of the letters for SITEB.
	Shots to the scoop sometimes will hit this.
	See "Site B" for more.

Right ramp:
	Just to the right of the Egg, a steep ramp which loops back on itself
	and feed the right inlane. Can be hit easily from a trapped ball on the 
	left flipper or by a luck backhand from the right. Spots letters for 
	GPS. See "GPS" for more. Jackpots are collected here during regular
	multiball.
	
B standup:
	Just to the right of the right ramp entrance, one of the letters for 
	SITEB. See "Site B" for more.
	
Right loop/spinner:
        Lights up World, you only have to trigger the spinner for it to count.
        Completing left and right loops lights the egg for a random award. See
        "The Egg Scoop" for more. One of the three locks is collected here. 
	Collects jackpots during multiball. See "Multiball" for more. Repeated 
	loops score Jurassic Loop. See "Misc. Extras" for more. Weak shots drop 
	into the bumpers. The spinner is the main shot in Mobile Lab. See 
	"Mobile Lab" for more.

TOR targets:
	Located almost directly across from the RAP targets and function 
	identically, except for the spotting of different letters, of course.
	Slingshots rotate which targets in RAPTOR are lit.

Right inlane/outlane:
	Plenty of rubber here as well.
	Lights E or X in TREX.

Autoplunger:
	A normal button that says launch on it. Launched balls usually travel
	up and hit the drop target, occasionally they miss and either hit the
 	I target or bump around in the center loop. See "Skill Shot" for more.
	This button is used to fire the Smart Missile.

Ball Saver
----------

	At the start of each ball, there is a brief (aprrox 5 sec.) ball
	saver. This is the usual SEGA ball saver which is VERY strict; if the 
	light is out, the saver is not on. 

	If the ball hits the outlane switch, the saver is extended slightly so
	the ball will hopefully make it to the outhole while the saver is still
	on.
 
Skill Shot
----------

	At the start of a ball there is a video-like skill shot. The goal
	is to make the Dino foot step on the humans. A successful skill shot
	is worth 200k, a missed skill shot is worth 50k.

	Occasionally you get a Super Skill shot; Instead of people, there 
	are strange objects to step on: Shark fins(?), a grandma, ET (!), 
	as well as others. A successful Super Skill Shot is worth the same 
	as a normal skill shot.

	In tournament mode, skill shot is disabled and awards 50K, regardless
	of what the display says.

The Egg Scoop
-------------

	The Egg scoop is lit at the start of the game and on your first ball
	I'm 99% sure that it will always award the Smart Missile. The scoop can
	be relit by hitting both spinners.

	Awards include:
	 - Smart Missile (one per game)
	 - Light Lock
	 - Award Lock
	 - Light Extra Ball
	 - Extra Ball
	 - Special
	 - 100,000
	 - 200,000
	 - 300,000
	 - Video Mode
	 - Increase Multiplier
	 - Hold Bonus

	Any others?

Video Mode
----------

	A very quick video mode, not even really connected to the game. There 
	are two ropes and a small pitfall-like guy who is suppose to swing
	from rope to rope and then over a T-Rex who is trying to eat you.

	A completed video mode awards 350K, a failed video mode awards 100K.
	A failed video mode that you manage to make to the first rope awards
	150K.

	Video mode is always the same and isn't too hard to complete. Just wait
	for the right spot to swing at, hit launch, and the guy just goes. 
	Occasionally, you can swing into the T-Rex's mouth, but you don't get
	anything extra for doing it.
	
Multiball
---------

	Multiball is first started by hitting the drop target 4 times to 
	light all three locks. If you don't finish the drop target on your
	first ball, one lock will light for you each ball, until you complete
	the drop target or light all three locks. You then have to lock three 
	balls, left loop, right loop, and middle loop. All locks are virtual, 
	no balls are held by the machine. When you have three balls locked, 
	multiball starts, a four ball multiball with three stages, and a brief 
	ballsaver:

	 - Both ramps must be hit for jackpots which unlight when collected.
	   Each ramp jackpot is worth 500k.

	 - When both ramp jackpots have been collected, both loops light for
	   jackpots, which unlight when collected. Loop jackpots are worth
	   750K. You must hit the loop switch to collect these.

	 - When both loop jackpots have been collected, the middle loop lights
	   for super jackpot. The super jackpot is worth a varying value which
	   is displayed on the DMD. The animation for the super jackpot is
	   almost exactly like the DMD animation from Raptor Rampage from the
	   first Jurassic Park. The animation is that of a raptor pointing at 
	   different values from 1M to 4M. The values are arranged somewhat like
	   this:

		1 1 2 2 3 4 3 2 2 1 1

	   A shot to the middle loop awards the pointed at value and starts the
	   multiball back at stage one.

	As in most SEGA games, multiball is very valuable, especially if you can
	consistently get to the super jackpot and collect it. Just reaching the
	third stage of multiball nets you 500K + 500K + 750K + 750K = 2.5M; 
	in this game, that isn't too bad.

	If you happen to start multiball, drain all but one ball, and collect
	no jackpots, multiball restart is lit at all the loops and the drop
	target.

	On subsequent multiballs, you must hit the drop target 4 times to light
	each lock. Only two locks will be spotted if you don't completed the 
	drop target.

Smart Missile
-------------

	Unlike Jurassic Park, the Smart Missile must be collected. It's almost
	always the first award from the Egg Scoop. There are also a few differences
	from Jurassic Park's Smart Missile:

	 - Lost World's Smart Missile only pertains to Multiball
		If the locks aren't lit, it will light all locks (1st Multiball)
		If all the locks are lit, multiball starts (handy while draining)
		It will collect any lit jackpots during multiball.
		If you are trying to collect the super jackpot with the smart missile,	
		the raptor will sometimes skip over the 4M shot.		

	 - Jurassic Park's Smart Missile hit EVERYTHING, all switches, and it collected
	   the points for everything as well.
	
	Like Jurassic Park, the Smart Missile is deactivated when the outlane is hit.

More Time
---------

	Each of the timed modes have the ability to have the timer increased.
	When the timer on a modes drops below 10sec, the More Time standup is
	lit. If the standup is hit, 10sec. is added to the mode.

	You can only hit the More Time button once per mode.
	Adding time to modes like SITE B and Baby T-Rex can be well worth it.	

SITE B
------

	To start SITE B you must first spell SITE B (the first time) and then 
	hit one of the SITEB standups. SITE B targets are cycled by the bumpers	
	and the slingshots.

	During SITE B your task is to hit the flashing target that is lit, but 
	there is a catch: there is only one flashing target lit and it moves 
	when you hit a flipper. The left flipper moves the target to the left and 
	right moves it to the right. You must hit at least three targets to complete
	the mode.

	The value starts at 200k and goes up by 100k until time is up. You have
	30 seconds to hit three targets but the mode doesn't end once you have
	hit the three targets, you get to play out the mode until time is up.
	There doesn't seem to be an upper limit to the value as I have collected
	1.1M from hitting one target.

	SITE B is at first very frustrating but once some ball control is 
	achieved, this mode is very valuable, just completing the three required
	targets nets you 2M (200K + 300K + 400K + 100K for starting SITEB and 1M
	completion bonus) with each target after that building higher and 
	higher. It seems the safest and easiest shot is to backhand the E target

	To light subsequent SITE B's you must spell SITE B one more time than
	the previous SITE B.
GPS
---

	GPS is started by hitting both ramps three times (for the first GPS)
	and then shooting either ramp when they are flashing.

	The goal of GPS is to hit 4 ramps, each shot is worth 300k. The value
	can be raised by alternating ramps, ie, left ramp, right ramp, left ramp
	then the value is raised by 100k up to no known limit. The timer seems
	to be pretty short, less than 30sec.

	The easiest way to finish GPS is by looping the left ramp which is
	pretty easy to backhand. If you want to go all out for points, try
	to keep alternating the ramps; while not really hard, lighting GPS 
	the second time isn't as easy.

	To light subsequent GPS', ramps must be alternated to light each letter.
  	You must also complete GPS one more time than the previous GPS. The number
	of shots to complete the next GPS goes up if you complete the mode or 	
	not, slowly making GPS impossible to complete.

Baby TREX
---------

	Baby TREX lights when three shots to the egg scoop are made. Shoot the
	scoop to start.

	A fast countdown from 200k starts immediately when you hit the scoop. Hit 
	the scoop to collect the value. If you don't hit the scoop by the time 
	the countdown reaches 40k, you have about 5sec. to make the shot.

	Once the countdown value is collected, you have 30sec. to shoot the egg
	three more times to complete the mode. When you do make the three shots, 
	the mode does not end; additional shots to the scoop can be made.

	This mode can be very valuable if you can lock in a value close to 200k.
	If you do indeed lock in a high value, making repeated shots to the 
	scoop is definitely worth it.
		
	To light subsequent Baby T-Rex's, one more shot is needed than the
	previous. The shots required to finish the mode stay the same.

Mobile Lab
---------

	Completing TREX on the inlane/outlanes lights the last completed letter's
	outlane/inlane light one of the letters for TREX. When the flashing
	letter is collected, Mobile Lab begins.  

	Mobile lab starts as a two-ball multiball where the goal is to shoot the
	spinners. Twenty spins are needed to collect the first mobile lab	
	jackpot. When a jackpot is collected, a ball is added, up to four balls.

	The first jackpot is collected at 20 spins and awards 200k.
	The second jackpot is collected at 25 spins and awards 300k.
	The third jackpot is collected at 40 spins and awards 400k.
	The fourth jackpot is collected at 50 spins and awards 500k.

	After a jackpot is collected, the number of spins collected resets. 
	There is a brief ballsaver at the beginning of this mode.

	Mobile Lab ends when there are less than two balls in play.

	This mode is HARD. The spinners on the machines I've played don't spin
	as well as they could and it's not exactly easy to get 120 spins if you
	have four balls floating around. It's not too valuable, but you have to 
	finish it to light San Diego. :(

	To light subsequent Mobile Lab's, you must complete TREX one more time
	than the previous. The number of spins/jackpots remains the same.

Raptor
------

	Completing the RAPTOR targets lights both sets of targets flash for
	RAPTOR. Hitting either bank starts Raptor multiball.

	Raptor is a two-ball multiball. Jackpots are lit by hitting either
	the RAP or TOR targets and then by shooting the middle loop. You have
	about 15sec to hit the jackpot before having to relight it again. 
	The first jackpot is lit at the start of the mode.

	To complete Raptor, you must make 2 jackpots. Jackpots start at 200k and
	go up by 50k for each jackpot collected.

	Raptor ends when there are less than two balls in play. 

	To light subsequent Raptor's, you must spell RAPTOR one more time than
	the previous. The number of jackpots needed does not change.

Misc. Extras
------------

    Extra balls can be lit at five middle loops, 6X bonus, or a random award.

    The next shot after immediately after lighting the extra ball and every 5 middle
    loops after awards 300k.

    Repeated loop shots award Jurassic Loops. For each loop shot you can make
    in a row, the value increases by 50k. Jurassic loops can only be collected
    when modes aren't running and start at 50k.

    Every 25 hits on the bumpers award a Pop Award of 25k. 
	

Special Thanks
--------------

    Thanks to Bowen Kerins for filling in some of the holes and 
    proof-reading :)

    Thanks to Josh Lehan's Lost World rulesheet for providing me with some
    info that I may have forgotten without it.

San Diego	<SPOILER ALERT>

	San Diego is lit at the T-Rex scoop; it is a four-ball multiball where ANY
	major shot scores an increasing value, and ANY target increases the value.
	It's a lot like Final Jam, except all major shots collect the Jackpot.  Cool
	animations of the T-rex eating lots of folks.
