The game begins with 5 credits for

buttons on the right side of the
flipper , one credit is used. Players
can gain two new credits each time
they complete the three center drop
targets.
Fireball II has two bonus features
and two bonus multipliers-the
Doomsday bonus can be activated
by the center or right drop targets
and contains a multiplier that is also
activated by the center drop targets.
The second bonus feature is the
Fireball bonus which includes a
choice of 2 maximum bonus scores
threshold. It can be scored through
the A, B, C, or D lanes or the left
drop targets. Multiplying this bonus
from 2x through Sx can be achieved
by completing the A, B, C, or D lanes. ·
There is also a center captured ball
bonus capsule that counts down this
feature.
Fireball II has two captured ball
saucers that are qualified by the top
three targets and Bally voice
package luring players into reach.
