I picked up an Eight Ball Champ a few weeks back and think the game is highly overlooked. I think if it had come out a few years' earlier it would have been a big hit but at the time it came out (1985) it seemed outdated compared to other releases and also suffered from being part of the cost cutting Bally 6803 era. I think the game is just as fun as Eight Ball Deluxe which came out 4 years earlier and is regarded as one of the best early SS games.
