Played this a few times in a pinball league. Some people like it. I'm not one of those people.

Played this at a few shows. Sort of meh. The backbox animation is the highlight of the game. Beyond that, not a big draw.

Hard to argue with a game that had the playfield reused what? Like seven times? This, along with Canada Dry and Solar City are the losers in the bunch. But, I guess that is sort of like getting stuck going home with the ugliest playmate.

Anyway, the multiplayers all suffer from the fact that when all the drops go down, there just isn't much to shoot at any more. After playing the wedgie versions of this, they just seem more balanced and make more sense. Still in all, this IS a great game. Had it not been for the wedgies, I probably would have scored it higher.

This is a game I had been looking for quite some time. I purchased it and refurbished it and I don't see it leaving any time soon. It is quite addictive and with the matrix that spells out HOT LINE, quite ahead of it's time. 3 ways to win a free game - score, completing Hot Line and side rollovers. One of Williams best 2" flipper games.

Fun game. I can see why they never produced a lot of these. Once you get it into replay mode, you can really rack up the free games. There are not a lot of "shots" to make. Mostly try to get it to the top and hope for the best.

You always remember your first. And your last."

Technically, this was neither, but it was the game I spent more time playing in college than any other. An EM holdout in a SS world in 1984, this game got a LOT of my quarters.

As a result, it was my holy grail for awhile and one of my first purchases. I have come to appreciate other games rules, artwork and everything else more, but the only way this one ever leaves my collection is if I find a better one.

Classic AAB. Three ways for a free ball. Match the yellow and red lights, put out the rollovers or get a high score.

The details in the rules keep you coming back.

The artwork is funky 1960s Mad Men. I fell in love with this game the first time I played it years ago and it's still got it going on.

This is a fun game. What keeps you coming back is the thought that you can get that 10k Doodle Bug going. I played this on location back in the day and own it now. I have only got the 10k rocking about 3-4 times, but when it goes....

Tons of strategy here. Lots of drop targets. DON'T shoot them until they are qualified. I come back to this game again and again.
