First machine I ever bought, and because of that / the theme / the rarity of the machine, it will never leave.
The Ark is cool, but I think 8 balls is probably 4 too many.
Excellent sounds / music / cabinet.
The TOD scoop is unique
The real problem with the game is the rules, or lack thereof. It's really one mode repeated over and over and over.
I would love it if someone updated the rules a la Cactus Canyon or Star Wars. I wish I had the talent to attempt it myself.
I can see why it's a great earner on location - between the theme / relatively easy to achieve Ark show, it's perfect for dropping a couple bucks at the movies or something.
