Quoted from 82Trooper:

I have had this game for about 3 years now. I know it does not get much love here, but I like it. The shaker motor is cool on this vintage System 3 game, and gives me very few reliability issues.
Anyhow, I have only made it to the final round "The Beast Challenge" once or twice, but was never able to "slay the beast!!!" until last night. It was very satisfying to get to finally put my initials on the screen as "Beast Slayer". For 3 years I have been looking at some other dudes initials on my machine, and it was a bit humiliating. Kinda like your wife having someone else’s name tattooed on her, becuase they reached a level you had not ventured into yet!!!
Now, If I could only figure out how to top JCV, the damn “combo champ”…….
19 of us show as having it in their collection....who else slayed the beast???

I am "Beast Slayer" on one on route. I like the game. Best flow in possibly all of pinball, you can really keep it moving. My best score on it was this one where I got Beast Slayer.

Funny, now that you mention it, I don't think I was combo champ on that game either.

This just came up in my Facebook memories, so I thought I would post it here for some good laughs if you hadn't seen it before. This is a 3 billion Mega Bonus that I hit 6 times, plus the additional Mega Bonus it awards you after ball 3 for a total of 7 times at 3 billion. Also hit it the first 3 times I went through when it was only 75 million. I did this on route after league one night. It took over 45 minutes of just shooting to build up the Mega Bonus to get it to 3 billion. Final score was 22+ billion.

Also, this Gottlieb factory tour video from 1993 is a really fun watch. The designer of Gladiator, Jon Norris shows the guy around and plays Tee'd Off, Gladiator and Cue Ball Wizard extensively in the game and gives out some pretty good pointer tips.
