[QUOTE="invitro, post: 225937, member: 446"] I'll take a shot. It was produced a rather amazing three (or maybe four) times from 1981-1984. A total of around 11 thousand were made, which is a lot, about as much as Xenon and Flash Gordon just before it and Mr. & Mrs. Pac-Man a year after it. I think it ended up being extremely well-known because it was Bally's last big hit, as Mr. & Mrs. Pac-Man doesn't really count, so maybe it ended up being in more locations during the dead period of the early 1980's that came right after it. It seems quite a bit more modern than other machines of its time, but at the same time has a "classic" playfield with strong ties to not just Eight Ball, but other 1970's playfields. It was one of the first tables to get an emulation, sometime around 1992-1993, by LittleWing & Amtex. You might be able to play it in a browser window here: [url]http://playdosgamesonline.com/eight-ball-deluxe.html[/url] or here: [url]http://java.playdosgamesonline.com/eight-ball-deluxe.html[/url] I didn't like it in the early 1990's, but I don't think I gave it much attention.
