Now I know what you're thinking. That backglass looks terrible. Correct! But the table is actually pretty neat.

It has the distinction of being the first pinball table to use an alphanumeric display. It also has the strongest and the most lively pop-bumbers I have ever seen on a pinball table. When the ball winds up in there and the bumpers go off the action play on the ball just brings a smile to your face. Another neat thing about the table is on either outlane there are drop targets blocking the lanes. So if the ball if going out you get one save, essentially like a kick-back, before you have to restore it. There's 2-ball multiball for the table that's not too hard to get - although if you lock one ball and then drain the locked ball drops also, meaning you have to start from scratch to get the 2-ball multiball going again. I kept going back to that table as I've never seen it and it was pretty fun to play.
