Table of the Week Club...Week 38: VICTORY

[shutyertrap]

The game is very rollable.

1) get extra ball from eject hole
2) max the multiplier
3) hit a checkpoint
4) keep pounding the left spinner while the countdown is going
5) shoot a checkpoint after the countdown runs out to restart the timer.

That is if you have no problem maxing the multiplier. Doesn't come easy for me. I know the theory of the table, but putting into practice is a whole other problem!

No one's noticing the music during gameplay? That's got to be one of the catchiest 8-bit style music in all of pinball.

Just wait till Swords of Fury.

Same conclusion though: good, interesting layout with balanced flipper shots, but a terrible 'game' unless you enjoy countdown timers.

Pssh. It's a great table, especially for Premier and its year. It doesn't compare to the 1987 Williams tables but not much does. It's the Premier which I least mind being repeated in the tournaments, and it has surprisingly deep strategy... how to make maximum use of the 8X must not be obvious or easy, because otherwise I wouldn't have the #7 score . But I loved Victory when it was new in 1987-88 so I might just be nostalgic.

*mutter* Just got 173M and it looks like the score wasn't recorded on the leaderboards. At least I took a screenshot:

When Victory first came out I had a monster game of 187M, that only got credited for 87M. It wouldn't be good news if that's still the case.

I don't think that's the case here, the leaderboards were just plain not working in-game... they all came up blank.
