Great pin but I can see why it might have done terrible in the arcades, bitd. Who wants to think???

A great oddball of a shooter's game and I really zone-out (in?) when playing. Awesome 80's art, too. Not going anywhere.

"Another game, perhaps?"

Quoted from Hellfire:

Someday ill get a Catacomb perhaps myself as well.

Catacomb is a thinker's game as well ... but faster! The timed bagatelle game is brutally frantic but necessary to complete the 'toast'. Masochistic game, imho.

Quoted from jlm33:

From what I understood, a little bit more were made, but actually never sold! They actually had to force sell the game by giving it for free with other games.

According to IPDB: "According to the book Pinball Memories, of the 994 games made, less than 500 were sold. The rest were ultimately scrapped or salvaged." (Ref: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2274)

Quoted from jlm33:

Games I would like to see near my spectrum: Barracora, Williams Defender. Catacomb is cool too! But the next one to arrive this very afternoon is an Embryon!

I'd like a Defender too. But no room and they're few and far between anyway.

I'm not sure but there looks like a bonus reference in the manual. But only red? That unfortunate.

Quoted from TopMoose:

Well that's pretty cool. Now that I think of it, I've never had a code with four yellow or four green.
It's a weird random way to get points, but then the points don't really matter in Spectrum, do they?

Points? ... Huh?? ... POINTS?!?
