Whenever I see this pin I can't but think of the Weird Science song & movie... Sadly I couldn't get that far in this game, but just couldn't hold my interest that much. I'll give it another chance if I see one in the future.

The Atom Smasher is a unique feature and way of achieveing multiball, this is certainly the hilight of the game. Apart from that, there's not much else going on. The shoy up the centre of the playfield to 'load the ball' to the upper flipper (to load the atom smasher) is a drain monster, same with the 'anti gravity ramp'... and ball that fails to get round the upper bend has a 50% change of going SDTM, so it annoying... best is to avoid that centre shot, and especially the anti-gravitly ramp... which basically means avoiding the entire middle of the playfield... Which is not what pinball's about!

A complicated game for it's time and therefore it is rare to find one fully working. Worth a game though

This game is a riot!! I loved playing it. Extremely hard to load up the atom smasher without cheating (glass off). I love the sound when you drop a coin (laughter?? not sure).

The neon sign was a pain to work on. The one we had never seemed to work. I liked the way the bulbs were laid out for eas of replacement. Also, one of the first machines I remmeber bally making with the diagnosic keypad. That was pretty nice.
