It's the unofficial sequel to Gorgar. It's a widebody machine and just has a bonkers layout. Very confusing. But I'll play several games of it and get a better understanding of it. But the other thing I do is usually find a table that I hadn't played much before and just play a ton of games on it. Initially I thought it was going to be Truck Stop, which I hadn't played before. But I found myself continuing to go over to Atlantis which I've played a little bit last year and at some other shows. Wow Atlantis is a lot of fun! It's not a deep game for rules but the gameplay is decently fast, sounds are good, and a nice lite show. I'd label it a comfort game. But man I played that over and over again for the two days I was there.<a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/user/Grugle/media/Vintage%20Flipper%20World/2018/IMG_1978.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b151/Grugle/Vintage%20Flipper%20World/2018/IMG_1978.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Another one I kinda surprisingly played a lot of is Robo-War. Being a Gottlieb I kinda ignored it at most shows but figured I'd give it a shot. And it's kinda fun. Simple rules but I like the sounds and the play is fast. Arena I've never seen before. It has a very interesting skill shot area where the ball goes in this circular area and rolls up and down a few lanes. If you're lucky it will land in the center lane which scores you the skill shot. Other than that though the table didn't grab me.<a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/user/Grugle/media/Vintage%20Flipper%20World/2018/IMG_1970.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b151/Grugle/Vintage%20Flipper%20World/2018/IMG_1970.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Fast track is another really rare game from Mr. Game - in fact this is probably the only one. But it was fully playable here with all the original sounds and voice call outs. The video monitor is like something out of the 80s. There wasn't too much too the game other than a bunch of ramp shots - so it was super fast. But was really glad I got to try it out.</blockquote>
