It's gotta be Doctor Who, right?

I first found out about the epic attract mode when I was scorekeeping for the 2016 INDISC event. I always made sure to keep an eye on whoever was playing Doctor Who, so I could run over right away and validate their score when they were done.

Just today I came across a Doc Who in the wild (Comic Hero University in Fullerton, CA) and had a blast playing it! When it was time to post a pic of my score up on Pindigo though, my arm fell asleep holding the camera waiting for my score to display, after the game credits, the Doctor Who credits, the Bally logo, "WINNERS DONT USE DRUGS*" and whatever else. Not a bad score though, right? (I'm bullshitting. My score was meager compared to other peoples' scores).

By the way, goddamn is Doctor Who a great game or what?? The multi-level Pin*Bot-esque ball locks are incredible, and the upper left flipper shot into the ramp is just SOOOOO delicious. Didn't Keith Elwin make that shot like 20 times?!?

Also, any game credited to someone named "Pfutz" has GOT to be good.

*there was no "WINNERS DON'T USE DRUGS" message, but it was era appropriate

Centaur has a pretty lengthy attract mode

If its music you want, F14 Tomcat plays its tune for about an hour before it finally stops. A bug that was apparently never removed.

HAHAHA, seriously??? That's pretty cool. Although I'd much rather listen to the High Speed theme for an hour...

OMG dude, its like the voices from Wizard of Wor and Berzerk got together to create the most hideous sound EVER.

Whirlwind has about a 5 minute light and music show after the game is over before the scores come up. Pressing the flipper buttons does nothing.

Only Fran Drescher can top that brain rattling little fucker for most annoying sounds ever transmitted.

There is also something in F-14 light show will go nuts for no reason. It will be sitting for what seems like hours, then just flashall crazy. At least my old game did.
