That's easy... Firecracker, because my Skyrocket is still in restoration. I bought it 2 years ago and I have been in constant game gathering mode and it keeps getting pushed.
Quoted from NicoVolta:Well of course Ballypin has both... Yes do a head-to-head review! Which one you prefer but also what you like/dislike about each.
I have not played MY Skyrocket yet. I played a couple games on Nic's at the RPM a few years ago and his is the gold standard that my game hopes to someday emulate .
Firecracker has 2 ways to score big: build/collect bonus and the random score Firecracker feature. The inner white circle of inserts shows the build up of bonus from 1,000 to 10,000 by hitting standup targets or the top lanes. Bonus can also be increased by the random Firecracker award when landing in either the top or center left Firecracker kickout saucers. Bonus is collected by shooting the upper right kickout saucer -OR- getting the Bonus Score award from the Firecracker saucers. Draining the ball forfeits all uncollected bonus.
The main "trick" feature of the game is the Firecracker unit. Landing in either of the 2 kickout saucers will start the Firecracker unit to flash the outer circle of yellow inserts, with an audible "cracking" sound, until it lands on one of 5 different awards: Collect Bonus; or Advance Bonus + 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 or 5,000. The points are awarded and then the ball is kicked back into play.
The game also has a play more post between the flippers and the various 10 point switches on the field alternately light the left drain kickback, target for extra ball and target to light the free ball gate for 3,000 points.
I'd eventually like to find an English version of Firecracker.
