Bally Midway Manufacturing
Company has introduced Beat the
Clock, a pinball for which play is based
on time instead of a number of balls.
Players may receive an unlimited
number of balls, but may use them
only until time, ticked off by a clock in
the playfield, runs out. As the game
progresses, the clock ticks faster, the
lights speed up, and the sound accele-
rates . Playing time is operator-adjus-
table.
Beat the Clock's playfield action
revolves around three flippers , three
thumper-bumpers, a top rollover lane,
top and side saucers, drop targets,
stop targers , a multiplier lane , and a
play-again feature . _
The cabinet includes new elec-
tronic hardware for increased relia-
bility and reduced maintenance time.
There also is quick access to a front -
mounted keypad offering a flexible
and complete diagnostic and account-
ing display .
