9 | As one would expect, this game commemorates the 35th anniversary of ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}'' magazine with a poolside party at Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion. Shoot up the ramps to enter the Mansion, then play with the animals in the Mansion Zoo for a score multiplier. When you're ready, head on over to the pool patio, where you can take the 35th anniversary playmates to the Photo Shoot and earn a Special. While 1989 Playmate of the Year Kimberley Conrad watches from the playfield, lock two balls into the Grotto for multiball, and try to shoot the ramps for the Jackpot. |

11 | Cynics would say this table was simply an excuse to put scantily-clad women in a pinball game, and they'd be right -- in the opinion of most players, ''Playboy 35th Anniversary'' is a boring table with shallow rules, a game that relies on the license and [[SexSells sex appeal]] over any sort of depth or play value. |
