Dear visitor,

The beautifull backglassTales of the Arabian Nights™ is one of my favorite pinball machines. It is beautiful to look at with its brilliant colors and detailed artwork. It is also great fun to play.

This site is dedicated to this machine. It's purpose is to complement the existing online documentation from Williams and the rule sheet. For this reason the game section focuses on strategy and assumes you are more or less familiar with the game.

The hidden text section deals with hidden texts and their meaning found in the art work. You could help me clarify some things here.

The owners list is still new and empty, if you own a TOTAN you can be on the list. Mail me.

For readability and other reasons I do not include hyperlinks in the text pages. But you'll find the links relevant to this site on my links page. 

Most of the artwork on this page is ripped one way or the other. As this is a fan-site I think that is all-right. As a matter of fact all the individual words on this site were pasted from other sites. So if you see a word you legally own, please contact me and I will remove it ;-)

I hope you'll enjoy this site, thanks for visiting and hope to see you back later.

Aswin

Our Star Reporter from Germany, the PinWitch, managed to track down Pat McMahon and got some interesting remarks from him concerning the hidden texts. Pats remarks are now added to the hidden texts page and marked red.  Beside the comments on the hidden texts Pat also stated that "The cats on the glass belonged to the designer & programmer.
The female fig. on the cabinet side was patterned after John's wife."
