[ PB-59 1983 ]
Like any pinball game, this one involves racking up as
many points as possible while keeping the ball from
escaping. In Game A you have three balls to work with,
but deceptively it is Game B that is easier and more
involving. In B you start out with only one ball -- a
do-or-die situation. But at about every 30,000 points a
new ball appears on the board (accompanied by sparkling
music!). You're limited to three balls on the screen at
one time, but as long as you have one going, the
opportunity for a new ball is just 30,000 points away. A
trap door on the bottom screen creates some danger but
all it really takes is stamina and quick thumbs to keep
the ball alive. Flashing bumpers, four pedals, a side
pocket, and a charmingly colorful display add a lively
and pleasant atmosphere to this quaint little game. [sm]
