This game is still a lot of fun!

There's a lot going on with this table!

You really need to be on your toes as the ball can get really fast and be down the middle before you know it. Having ramp shot skills will help your score a lot.

Aside from that, the upper playfield has a lot of cool shots, but occasionally a fast pinball may knock a locked ball out of its hole (both ball locks are on the upper playfield). The drop targets are meant to be hit in sequence, (the three on the upper playfield first, the three in the middle next, and the three to the left last) and this enables the ball lock. The horseshoe on the lower playfield is a cool feature that builds your bonus multiplier. Multiball (when you can get it) is total chaos. Valhalla Time!

I guess this is where the robots from Berzerk and Frenzy found a new gig, because it sounds like the same voice synthesizer. You can obtain the samples from http://pinmame.retrogames.com/downloads.html (along with other Stern samples) and try to figure out what the voice box is saying about half the time!

Add-A-Ball in Fremont, Seattle, WA, USA currently has this game and it sees a fair amount of action from the pros!
