I have only ever played this on Visual Pinball and I love it. I like the race against time. This replaces the extra ball goal for most machines. I also love the sounds with this machine. Even though it looks just like any other machine of that period, it does play quite differently and is refreshingly fun. Im a Bally fan, and would call this one of their better machines , even though I understand how others might not like it. This is a machine I would feel proud to own.
I picked one up to use in tournaments, only to find out you really can't use in tournaments because they penalize the amount of IFPA points that can be earned because it is possible the game will only be 1 ball (they give you 1/3 normal ifpa points for entire tournament). Was very disappointed that I can't effectively use in tournaments. Also, from a practical perspective, if a ball gets stuck, it really messes the tournament game up because the clock ticks down while the ball is getting unstuck. Oh well, hopefully can resell it.
Seems like a cool concept, but I was bored watching by the end. Feel if you got good enough you could play for 30 minutes plus on a single credit. The good thing about these early SS games is that (like their video counterparts) the games are simple, brutal and quick. Giving you just enough fun to have another go and think you can beat your high score. There isn't a deep enough code for this game to last as long as it seems to.

Rare timing system in that machine that were only used on 2 other models of machine I think
And here I thought this would be based on the game show. Seems like a missed opportunity.
how much is this pinball machine worth ? It's listed as 100,00$ on auction
Very good player here, so it's interesting to see the video. The most pinball videos you can see on UA-cam shows only beginners.
