About time this game gets its own club thread! I am a big fan of Bally 6803 games and this is quite possibly one of the best in the group.

Fantastic and challenging gameplay, simple yet difficult to master, fantastic competitive play with great risk/reward of loading balls vs stealing individual vs stealing them all, cheesy but oooohhhh so good tunes/art/callouts, awesome toper, unoque game layout and some fun features.

Seriously a fantastic game all around!

Where are the other HMM fans at? Have you done any fun mods to your game?

#2 7 years ago

come on headbangers! Show us what you got?

We have a rule at a buddies place that you wear the mullet wig when playing! I am sure there is a photo somewhere.

#4 7 years ago

speakers are in the head, but I have though of adding them to the topper along with a bunch more lights!

#6 7 years ago

Quoted from Freeplay40:

Quoted from TheLaw:

It's an 80s ballys so that's it's downfall.

that was -

#11 7 years ago

super rediculous twany metal hair band is spot on and awesome for this title. It embodies the 80s better than any other pin!

Quoted from TheLaw:

Jesus Chirst man...you need a fucking chill pill.

club threads are supposed to be for owners and those that like the game, not for hating.

these threads have differnet guidelines as I understand it. I started the thread to have some fun with others that dig the game and are in the club, not to have an argument about what you dont like about the game. christ man... have a little respect for the game.

Quoted from TheLaw:

I didn't put the entire shaft down my throat

I can put on my mullet wig and then I bet you will

Quoted from dmbjunky:

Is the cabinet solid wood? I have City Slicker, another 6803, and it's pressed wood. The quality is pretty crappy. I wonder when they changed it.

mine is pressed board also. Heavy as sin and wish it was plywood instead.

#19 7 years ago

How many people have a proto with drop target in front of the ramp or wood plug for the drop target?

Quoted from canea:

Would love to join this club someday... don't see many for sale though... \m/

I waited and waited and then finally found one locally. It needs a bit of love but was all complete. Picked it up for 1400 and will be well over 2k once I am done but man I love this game. It falls in line with games like Tx-Sector and being a fan favorite in groups of people playing and drinking!

Quoted from canea:

Not much chance for me locally. You let me know when you find another one in your part of the country and plan on making one of your trips to CO...

Will do!

Quoted from Chitownpinball:

Whats a fair price for a HMM nowadays?

1300-1600

#36 7 years ago
Quoted from Drewscruis:

I'd say $1800-2000 They are getting tough to find these days.

yeah they have definitely been going up.

Noah got a STEAL on the one he just picked up!

#40 7 years ago
Quoted from Chitownpinball:

Is that who snagged the $1400 one? I was a day off for my buddy...still looking for similar era Ballys.

pretty sure that was only the local price, but yes Noah took it home.

I have to admit, I am a bit bummed because if Noah had passed it was going on route and I think people really would have liked it!
