Quicksilver is a game that fatures the Bally feel with a Stern Layout. It's a nice combination.

The Pros:
I love the art package on this game. Ms. Melon bursting out of the green blobbies with the blue spheres is unusual, creative and vibrant in color and simple composition. Spelling quick silver is tricky with the upper lanes... nudging is required. Good thing you have 2 lanes with spinners to get there. Doug Watson does his best Moebius impression and succeeds with an impressive flair.

The Cons:
I never really got the lower bank of drop targets.

The Takeaway:
A fun game with a good deal to do. One of the most distinctive looking games out there. My favorite color is green.

Update:
I got a chance to play this game when a friend left it in my living room for a week after it was getting fixed. The 3 bank of drops on the right make all the difference. Bonus X carries over and in this game is HYOOJ!. Gettin' the 75k is not easy as you have to spell QUICKSILVER and then hit the saucer. The saucer on this table is dangerous. The kickout is not consistent and you'd better activate when it comes atcha. Will it go to the left flipper, to the right flipper? Am I gonna have to save this from going SDTM. This is still to be considered as the saucer builds the value of the center drops (up to 20k a drop!) and makes the lower left hand side of the PF more valuable than one would initially expect. The spinners on this game are begging to get ripped and yes, you can shatz the inlane with the curved dividers that ease it into the switches. The big points are definitely from the bonus, so build it and collect. When it is Maxed out, it sounds like a chainsaw ripping things up! This game requires shots all around the PF to get the good scores. Nudging at the top lanes as well as in the pops means that old school meets new school on this table. A really good game all around. Sweep the lower targets if you can and make sure to watch Bowen show you the way here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekkf4Z-O0Mo

it's up there with Nineball, Big Game and Stars in my book. Scores updated accordingly.

awesome bonus countdonw!

This game is just so-so. The artwork is a little on the unattractive side in my opinion and the playfield is just overrun with too much green. I also found the orientation of the drop target banks a little strange.

A nice single ball game. Stargazer and Big Game are still my favourite single ball Stern though.

Fantastic looking machine. Backglass,playfield and cabinet are top notch,as good as it gets! Really stunning. Gameplay is fairly basic and not complex but plays well and very fast. Game Sounds are terrific,in particular the awesome pop bumpers and kick out hole.A few more playfield toys or multi ball would have been great but as is its still a good solid 9/10 player and adding in the fact its a pretty rare machine and you've got yourself a real winner here!
