What’s this?

Just watching a documentary as the baby is wide awake after my nap.. anyone know what this is that was in it - looks... different.

Looks like HyperBall

Yeah hyperball. Like rapid fire on steroids. Steve Ritchie I think.

great fun but not really pinball.

Noisy as f*ck, and notoriously difficult to keep running smoothly.

It's utterly mental. I loved it as a kid. And Matt Adams had one I little while ago, was good to revisit it.

Great fun . I do have one in storage but setting up for the public to play at the electric circus would not be good for our ears . And it's not pinball but it is a Steve Ritchie

Ahh - I would love a try of this, looks straight up, balls to the all, nuts.

Many arcades had one at the time, but not a long-term success, even though Bally produced a copy, Rapid Fire, hence the reference above

Williams used the left-over cabinets/back boxes/speaker grilles for the Defender pinball (itself a rarity) and the rather strange Time Fantasy, while Bally used theirs for Centaur II and Eight Ball Deluxe LE, so some good came out of it all

I have owned a few of these, mechanically very difficult to keep running and the noisiest game you have ever played but extremely good fun.
I have a spare playfield for one of these in my garage

I did have a Hyperball at the end of the 90s. Would love to revisit one again.

Coinopking on Facebook is selling one £650 as is

 

[Solar Sailer]

Yep. Been chatting to them. Watch this space!

I got a load of spares for this if you need anything
