Truckin'
Announcing delivery recently of
the Night Rider four-player flipper
pinball, Paul Calamari, sales mana -
ger of Bally Mfg . Corp ., Chicago,
called special attention to the
double banks of drop targets on thf:
playfield of the new game .
• "Five drop targets each," Cala -
mari explained, " are aligned along
both the left and right sides of the
playfield , half way up the panel.
These double drop target banks are
not only keys to specials and extra
balls, but also provide maximum
drop target scoring possibility, as
well as maximum adjustability in
scoring specials and extra balls.
"Another new exciting feature of
Night Rider is the variable value
kickout hole, located at the very top
of the playfield," Calamari contin-
ued ." Kickout value lit at end of
previous game lights at start of each
game, and value rapidly changes,
changing each time any 10 or 100
point skill objective is hit, rotation
being 1000, 50, 3000, 50, 5000 and
repeat . The skill trick is to drop a ball
in the kickout pocket at a moment
of maximum value. The top kickout
hole also doubles the out-hole
bonus score if ball goes in the hole
when 1000 value is lit .
"Night Rider looks to be another
in a great series of recent Bally
four-player flippers," Calamari con ~
eluded .
Blockade
Gremlin Industries' new video
game CoMotion is causing a lot of
commotion on location . With 600
now producting on location , Grem-
lin's initial analysis is "a hit," ac-
cording to company president,
Frank Fogleman .
" We have reports from operators
across the country that CoMotion is
producing profit margins which
attest to an overwhelming player
response ," Fogleman added .
CoMotion is designed as a
cocktail table version of Gremlin's
popular Blockade, the hit of the
annual AMOA show in Chicago .
Available in both stand-up and
sit-down models, the game is a
fast-paced race of strategy and
excitement.
Fogleman attributes the over-
whelming player response to the
game to its cerebral appeal. " It's a
game of think-ahead , so it holds
player interest. Adding the factor of
multiple play, it becomes a complex
network of offense / defense strate-
gy that keeps players coming
back . "
