Pintor's ratings

Very fun, fast, and challenging game!! A lot of depth. Wish the pro came with a few more toys, but luckily they can be modded in easily.

Fun game, I like the different missions and thought the annimstions were well done.

Played this game for hours at a barcade in Sacramento. Super addictive, lots of toys and shots, easy to see why it’s a top 10 pin. Would definitely love to add to my collection some day.

This is the replay version of batter up, which is the add a ball version from the same year. How baseball is ranked 192 and batter up is ranked 28 at this time is beyond me.

The 2 inch flippers don’t bother me but instead add to the challenge of the game. Slope it up to near 6 degrees, buy those “extra hot” solenoids for the flippers (Marcos has them) and have a blast! With the high slope the ball drain down the outlines happens way less often. The ball also moves incredibly fast, adding to the challenge of hitting a home run on the plungers with just 2 inch flippers. I really feel like I earned it when I hit a home run on those plungers.

I mostly go for runs but if you have a man on 2nd and 3rd the pops light up for 100 points so I usually switch to go for those.

Even the shooter can be a skill shot if all you need is one more base to light.

All in all this game is a challenging (but not too hard) and fun, it just needs to be tuned up a bit before playing.

This is the replay version of blast off. It is very fun!! I love the variability, each game feels different from the last. I highly recommend this Pin.

I totally agree compared to other games from this era, it can appear really simple. That said, if you max out the slope and install new flipper mechs, this game is really fun and the ball moves fast! It really achieves the theme of the ball flying through space at high velocity. I like that it can be set to add a ball. In short it’s a simple yet fun pin. Sometimes you want a pin that you don’t have to think too hard about.

Bottom line: slope it up, replace those flipper mechs, and send that ball across space!

Amazing game, definitely one of the best EM’s out there! Challenging enough to keep you coming back. I love the variablty in this game. Also love the interaction between the BG and PF. If you can find one, it’s definitely worth adding to your collection. I know mine is a forever pin!
