Zaccaria Pinball - Strike (1978) Bugs & Feedback

[Zorgwon]

Strike has arrived like a stroke and gives the opportunity to test your aiming at drop targets.

Here is a possible bug:
1. After clearing the drop target bank I only sometimes get the red "bonus ball" light lit and only on the left side. The bulb on the right side seems to be burnt out.
2. Shooting the lit bonus ball target will not award an extra ball. It remains lit. May be a bonus ball is not an extra ball but I didn't notice other changes on the table. The table does not have a "shoot again" lamp.

Sound bug. The left target in the middle bank of ten makes no sound when it drops.

Ball got trapped behind the upper left targets by going up the playfield, hitting the left pop bumper and then going through the metal gate to get trapped. This was not an issue from launching the ball to begin play. Also you can see the blurry left pop bumper. And blurry "double bonus" text between the flipper gap.

Put this in the wrong thread. Sorry. Second rollover from the left on the top makes no sounds nor score. Not sure what's what it should be but there is obviously a bug. Thanks you. R

There are only 2 rollovers. Left and right and they do score.

The side targets (bonus ball) are called “center targets“ in the rule sheet.

I really love this table. very addicting in it's simplicity. It gets me excited for the Zacc EM's.

Was curious if anyone thought it was weird the center special lights up the pop bumpers (which is awesome) but doesn't make a noise? Does it make a noise if you hit it after getting four strikes? i've only been able to do it once and drained before i hit the special.

The flashing bumpers give a good score, unlike the rest.

The physics for Strike are doing pretty nice, slingshots and pops have a good bounce, the ball could use abit less friction though for a somewhat better flow.

Zsolt does the backside of the cabinet on the picture have bumpers ?, because there is no bounce when the ball hits it.

No, it doesn't have. Should be?

It's strange. It does make the sound sometimes and sometimes not.

Both of them are bugs and will be fixed in the next update, thanks!

I dont know, there are no videos available on the net but i found a picture of a real zacc Strike from the upper playfield and hopefully it provides more info about this.

Picture is abit blurry but it seems the rubber band which runs behind the dropdown targets on the right side coils around the most right bold and seems to continue running to the backside of the station,

If so, its not clear to me how far it continues along the backside though, but as far as i can see it seems the rubber band does not loop around the bold and runs back parallel behind the rubber band on the frontside.

Hope this might be useful for you.

I have found a picture without rubber here! It looks like there aren't bumpers there.

 

[night]

Here you can see rubbers as well.

 

[Flipper bump]

funny, i was just about to post a picture of this table as well, on these pics it seems like there are bumpers on them, could imagine they probably run backwards too,

 

[haj]

If there're bumpers it would make the ball movement more unpredictable and interesting. But I wonder how it would react when some drop targets are still standing...the rubber would hit the targets... targets would be beaten from back and front... or it'd work only when all targets are dropped (left/right column independent methinks) or something..

Looks like an add-a-ball version of Strike with no red center target. The only bounce of slings would be towards the bumpers (=round objects with 1000 on them). It would give some nice bumper action.

Yes sure that would give some nice action indeed.
