Any guesses on what it will go for? There were only 90 made.

I have no idea what the game will go for, but I can tell you the game is alot of fun. Had a chance to play one at a show once. It's really fast as the playfield is so small. It has a really neat light effect when you start multiball (I thnk) that looks like lightening. Would love one of those, but I suspect it will go for big $$$$. Kind of neat how much stuff they managed to fit into that playfield -- upper playfield, lower playfield, and I think there is ramp in there somewhere.  To have unlimited space and money

Although I think it's a cool game, I would buy one for the...errr...asking price.

I've played it numerous times and it get boring fast....the playfield is too small and the ball doesn't stop bouncing everywhere.

In addition, unless you clean the pf every single day, it's very difficult to see anything on the 'second playfield'.

Still a conversation piece...

you've got no 'control'...a bit like Hercules (flip....go for drink...snooze...flip...watch tv...flip), except that the playfield is smaller...better buy a Bingo machine instead...

Sounds like one for the museum.  


It has been scientifically proven that light is faster than sound. That is why some people seem brilliant........until they open their mouth!

Plays like "Banzai Run on the moon". Where do I sign up?

Looks like an attempt to sell pinball to the video game crowd. Hmmm, maybe the Pinball 2000 guys should have looked at this.
