A big thanks go out to Method who has co-ordinated these Q & A's with the Kingpin developers.

Fredz found a link to an Interplay Press Kit from Feb/March of 1999.
This is a press-kit containing information on upcoming and existing games from Interplay around February 1999. There are press-releases, sales information, screenshots, videos and promo art.
Among the games there are:
Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast
Kingpin
Messiah
Giants: Citizen Kabuto
Planescape Torment
And others...
You can check it out here.
Fredz uploaded some early Kingpin screenshots from the Press Kit here and here.
Unfortunately the Steam button for Kingpin wont show up if it is banned in your country, such as Germany.
Kingpin is currently on sale at Steam for 30% off until tomorrow. You can pick up a copy for Steam friend for 6.99.

Elfor sent me a link to the June 1999 issue of PC Zone. They dedicated the cover to Kingpin and did an in depth review of the game as well (starting on page 76).
On thing that I noticed is they said there are four multiplayer modes - gangbang and team deathmatch but also CTF! lol and something called cashmatch where you steal money from dead players and the winner at the end of the match is the player with the most money.
You can read the entire magazine here.
We also host the magazine (in pdf format) in our Magazine download section here.
If you only want the Kingpin article, and not the entire PC Zone magazine, we host that here.
In the early years of Kingpin EvilBunny released the first custom player model for Kingpin called Anthea.
Not only was it the first but it was an original model (most player models in Kingpin are converted from other games).
He also created another model called Coffy but left the Kingpin scene before releasing it.
Luckily I saw him in a server rcently and got him to send me the model.
Coffe is another original model. Coffe is a black female, has full Kingpin weapon support but uses a bat instead of the pipe. She also has sunglasses and raybans as extras.
EvilBunny only made a couple of skins so I asked Rat to make a few more which he did.
You can download the Coffy model from here.
Just extract the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct location (main/players/female_coffy)
