I think this game is a SLAM DUNK... one of the more under rated games out there. It's a blast to play.. has great art & the call outs are entertaining. Let's see your Shaq Attaq restore/repair advice, mods & thoughts on this game.

Next step is to clean everything & put on new Titan competition orange rings & orange t-molding.

I'm the only fan? No way... I don't believe it.

Glad to see some other Shaq Attaq fans here.

I bought a nos translite which didn't have the white SHAQ sticker logo on the upper right like the original translite did. I think it looks better without the logo but in your opinion.... should it go back on the nos one... if it was yours?

I have been chatting via Facebook with the designer of Shaq Attaq (very nice guy).... Jon Norris. He ok'd me to post what he sent me regarding the process of designing & some of the politics that go with being involved.

Mr Norris says...
"Shaq Attaq was drastically changed late in the games development cycle when the marketing department demanded that we change the playfield art. I had a feature grid on the playfield like Surf N Safari, where completing shots filled in to trigger/qualify features. I still have the drawing of that original version. Also, marketing insisted on the "Coach" and wouldn't allow me to add a game setting to totally eliminate him. I had to settle on reduced nag speech instead. Finally, the original backglass art had an awesome Shaq shattering a backboard, but it was rejected by the licensor. The "Giant Shaq" art was rushed and incomplete. Take a look at the cheerleader’s arms. Despite these issues, the game was a commercial success."

"I live in Las Vegas, working for a Slot machine Company. I will be going to Pinball Expo when I finish my pinball game, but probably in 2017 since it will take me a couple of years to make and program the game."

I bought mine for $150.. have about $130 more into it buying orange Titan competition rings, t-molding & balls. Maybeven get Led's down the road. Will be a blast.

He also had a Party Animal but it was pretty toasty that I could get for $50 but I passed.

The Shaq Attaq is a rewarding game to work on. I am taking 1 part of the pf off at a timestate then cleaning & waxing.

Yes... Collin has my Shaq Attaq scoreboard right now & I'm looking forward to having it working & back in the game. He's a nice guy & is easy to deal with.
