One of my favorite pinballs. It's raw in your face pinball. Fast, fast, fast. Very simple rules, easy to understand objective, that is difficult to achieve. Perfect amount of speed, combined with a challenging goal, makes for a rewarding machine. My favorite part is that in one game I will roll over a million points, getting multiball several times. Then the next game I pay, I'll barely break 100,000 with 2 center drains and a side drain right off the bat.
For strategy I usually try to light all three locks right away, concentrating on the 6 stand up targets. I'll lock balls in the upper lock and the right lock as I can do those fairly easily on a consistent basis. Then I will work on lighting the FIRE roll overs to max out the multiplier, using the left spinner when lit. For points it seems to be best to pound that spinner when lit as much as possible, and get your multiplier up as high as possible. Then I go for the left lock, which I haven't developed a technique for yet, it usually happens by mistake. Once multiball happens it's so rewarding, but often short lived. I can't seem to keep 3 balls going very long, but often times can keep 2 going for a bit. Then once I'm back down to 1 ball I start the whole process back over.
