Another EXCELLENT game from Game Plan!

This game kicks your ass and takes your lunch money. Brutal and unforgiving. Kinda has a Flight2000 and Stars love child vibe.

The droning background sound is creepy and unsettling. Not a huge fan of that, but the gameplay makes up for it. The artwork on this game is beautiful.

Is it a great game? Probably not, but it is one that I would play again. An interesting playfield layout for the time period. The game is heavily focused on building bonus and collecting it through the saucers on either side of the playfield. Build bonus, collect bonus and repeat. The wheel spins light various features, extra ball is a key one. Look for the 3X bonus collect when lit at the saucers. The sounds are a copy of Meteor and Flash, tension building as you keep the ball in play. Definitely worth a spin if you see one, fairly rare to find.....

I got a chance to play this game in the Mad Scientist's Lab at Lyons Classic Pinball this weekend. I was expecting a boring and lackluster game. I was pleasantly surprised otherwise.

The Pros:
A deceptively well thought out layout with 8 shots including a spinner lane that looks much bigger than it really is, and it isn't that big when you look at it. An unusual rollover layout at the top of the Pf means that EM nudging skills need to be activated when the ball is up there. The whole gist of the game lies within the spinner in the upper left hand of the table. The spinner lights up different aspects of the game's shots and features. This means that your priorities and strategies change with each cycling of the spinner as the game plays on. The BG is bight and happily rips off Frazetta's "Against the Gods" and adds wings to the figure in the center of the composition.

The Cons:
The deathshot special stand-up. Me no likey. Your pops better be nice and crispy, or this game falls flat on it's face right quick. The whole upper 1/3rd of the game feels underutilized. Couldn't the designers put the spinner in the backbox and used that whole corner of the table for gameplay?

The Takeaway:
A much better game than I thought it would be. There are some interesting shots and strategic featuress of this game that will keep a skilled player interested for a good while, esp. if they like this vintage of pinball/ Game Plan decks.
