and supply an alternate for the less
than accurate player is a kick-out
hole which scores the wheel value,
or if the player hits the ball too hard,
will cause the ball to bounce off the
back rim and back down to the
plunger. At the left of the playfield
to balance off the action one finds
yet another spinner and five drop
targets which are angled more than
was the case with Capt . Fantastic or
Old Chicago .
That brings us to the bottom, and
the discrepancy between the flyers
and ads that have been circulating,
and the game as it in fact will be
produced. Forget (what I would call)
the Spanish Eyes bottom and
instead think of a Gottlieb bottom .
Because the latter is what you're
going to get - thank you Europe.
Anyway, in terms of upkeep this
modification is probably for the
better, otherwise you ' d have a great
4- Sturdy Rustic
many players shaking the hell out of
the game once the ball ventured
down to flipper land .
The play of the game is easy. Hit
the drop targets down once or twice
depending upon the location and
how the game has been set up , and
voila! instant Same Player Shoots
Again and on top of that the chance
for the Special. The action is fast
and located away from the flippers
so nudging is advised for the best
rebounds off of the thumper
bumpers which have a lot of spring
and life to them . The spinners are
good secondary shots although the
one at right is at a rough angle to be
done consistently well. The left one
is better only because that's where
the action is (drop targets and all).
The primary shot that most players
will probably adhere to is toward
that top right bonus target and the
chance to bump the ball back off the
bumpers and into the top kick-out
hole .
The limited bonus could be
considered a drag (up to 15,000 or
30,000 when doubled), but the
wheel value is the thing that pulls
this game through . It's a good
controllable random feature which
should keep players guessing and
plotting in their timing .
In terms of graphics, this isn't a
Bally original. The artwork is simple,
to the point and very American in its
theme and feel. In fact , considering
past Bally motifs this backglass is
rather spartan and to the point .
All in all though this game should
get a great deal of play. It's not that
hard and with the fast action and
wide open playfield , players should
have a heydey dropping the targets
and going through spinners.
