I've never seen this game played before and that video is amazing. All the bends and curves on that playfield and the unusual sparse playfield seems to compliment itself enough not to get boring. If they for some odd reason ever added this local where I could play it, or even more crazy into Pinball Arcade, I'd take a stab at it.

I've never seen one in 30+ years of messing with pinball tables, so unless I find one on vacation or someone rolls one into the Louisville Arcade Expo some year I doubt it. I've got a 1983 Bally table here that might as well be an EM table due to the design of it (Gold Ball) so I don't really mind sparse if the action is fun (which it is and gets little credit for due to the Bally hatred from when they went cheap.)

You're probably right as PBA would need an all new physics routine made for a game that isn't exactly truly popular so I doubt they'd want to bother. I don't think the rest would be an issue really because they have the code in there for spinners, uneven playfields, and the rest. I think the issue would be that whole open bottom end how the ball seems to curve back upon itself and the flippers where it seems like it needs a direct shot into that hole in the center to lose the ball.
