Skill shot is sweet, is it a second piece of playfield or is it just all one piece?

Based on the one I had, it was one piece with routed wood "bent" into the skill shot area.

Bent....that is pretty cool. Sure there aren't too many games that were made like that.

So true. Fireball comes with a unique flavor. The only EM my pinball friends appreciate.

Thank you Captive_Ball and fish1975tx for the challenge on Fireball last night. Sure is one mean playing game. Even with 5 balls per game is sure hard to get a good high scoring game.

48630 is the high score for the night by me. Woohoo!!

I think it was 5, but I switched it to 3 and never looked back. After that 50k was a darn good score.

One of the best e.m.'s . Fantastic artwork-spinning disc-zipper flippers-multi ball. Fireball and Nitro Groundshaker were 2 of my favorite backglasses
