This is a wild game in so many ways.

The Pros:
A crazy theme with lots to deal with. Super awesome artwork that is weird and surreal. An upper flipper that has some interesting shots across the playfield. Where are these women? I want to party with them.

The Cons:
The flipper layout is not easy to deal with. So, deal with it. Kuh-ray-zee artwork and theme will not me something that should be an issue. But for some it is. Gameplay should flow. It doesn't.

The Takeaway:
The politically correct will squeal at it. The players will play it. The lovers will love it. The haters will...

Cool Playmatic game that has an 8-track tape player inside to play Disco music.

Also has chick voices that I could not understand (might be in Spanish).

If you own this game, you should make a backup copy of the 8-track and use that instead; because if the machine eats your tape, it's going to be hard to ever find a replacement.

Only played a few games on it, but it seemed fun, especially if you like black chicks or disco.

A relatively unknown, typical Playmatic quality game from the 1980s, but does not particularly stand out in most areas in terms of pinball history.
It does have a "sparkle" backbox with the motorized disk in the backbox, its one unique feature.
Artwork on the cabinet is very strong in terms of quality, which reminds me of any earlier day comparative to Pinball Magic.
Scoring ruleset is basic.
Playfield shot map is average, but does have a couple of tight orbit shots on the top of the playfield.
Sounds and music background "blooping" is average for the era.
Artwork is a little strange and colorful with the "Amazon" black woman in the middle of the playfield and backglass playing a guitar, but it was just trying to attract audiences.
I have no idea how many of these were made, but the Mr. Pinball 2016 Price Guide estimates <481.
Predominantly, a Playmatic collector game.
