!!Trivia for the pinball game ''{{Pinball/Contact}}'':
* FollowTheLeader: The success of ''Contact'' prompted many copycats by other manufacturers, and fostered the rapid use of solenoids, bells, and tilt.
* ThrowItIn: The use of a bell started as a practical joke at Pacific Amusement. One of the employees wired a doorbell buzzer to the Contact Switch on a demo table, and every time it was hit, owner Fred [=McClellan=] thought his phone was ringing and tried to answer it. When the bell proved to be an attention-getting device, it was added to all subsequent machines.
