I played one of these this weekend, WOW, so unique, it was the last thing I'd expect to see behind the glass window, from the outside it just looked like an old old video cabinet.
What a great novelty pinball machine. Chatted to some random man at the show and he said the last one of these he saw sold for £5000.

Very cool. Never even heard of this machine before. I love the idea of the mirrors. It was like Pin2K 20 years ahead of its time.

Wow! great one just had to play it on visual pinball after seeing the Pics. Pretty cool sounds too! Only 90 made, I wonder how many survived? I want at least one of them.

Played it this weekend. Awesome. What a show. I was glad to qualify in C Division, only to screw up in the finals. The $20 I made paid for the pizza on Sat. night. Anyone into pins should be there.

Varkon! Played that at cax two years ago. yeah, pretty unique. It's actually pretty fun to play for a novelty game. The ball acts very differently because the playfield is vertical.
