Long-playing Game

Written by JoeNES, published August 28th, 2014. 1 comment(s).

I am by no means a pinball pro, but the first time I ever played this game (Pinballz Arcade, Austin, TX - 2014), the original credit lasted around 30 minutes - a combination of long balls, extra balls and earned replays. In fact, it lasted so long that I held the ball in the flipper and handed it over to a 10-year-old kid, my feet were starting to hurt! It was fun, but now that I know more about its pedigree (it's a Lawlor game), I'm going to give it another try. Compared to the 10-second games I usually average on AF, this has some serious bang for your buck. Bonus, look on YouTube for "Hands On History" full episode of Stern's factory, making RBION and interviews with Pat himself - complete with 10-year old commercials for flip phones.

I recently purchased a super nice RBION,it's actually the nicest of my collection and I must say the pin is SERIOUSLY UNDERATED!This thing has a vast set of rules,it plays super fast,some great shots,awesome light shows on the playfield and phenominal sound effects.
The lightning flashes and clapping thunder is awesome.
This one one will be bolted to the floor!
