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think if it had come out a few years' earlier it would have been a big hit but at the time it came out (1985) it seemed outdated compared to other releases and also suffered from being part of the cost cutting Bally 6803 era.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.

Quoted from ryanwanger:

Another for WOF. Excellent & unique layout. Excellent & unique rules.
The theme is awful for some. The complaints about unfinished code is really just two things: unbalanced scoring between some of the modes, and no wizard, or mini-wizard mode.

One more for WOF. Gets a bad rep for theme and unfinished code but it is one of my favorite Stern games because of the challenging and unique gameplay. Its one of those "just one more game" titles for me (because of the short ball times) and it never gets old.
