So this is Gottlieb's Revenge from Mars, eh?
I appreciate that they were thinking outside the box, but I'm not sure this was the direction to go in. I've always felt that the overuse of timers is a hallmark of unimaginative game design, and Goin' Nuts takes most of the typical elements of pinball and replaces them all with a timer. (It even replaces the plunger/launch button with a timer!) In that respect, it seems like a step backward.
