I'm on a promise for one. Just in case it goes pear shaped anyone thinking of releasing one in the near future? I owned one 20 years ago and now live in a property that can cope with the acoustics!! I know it's a unique Pinball but it is Pinball!
 
Did coin-op king have one of these up for sale as a project recently on his Facebook page ?
 
No flippers, so arguably not a pinball machine imho.

It is more like a test of stamina. And very, very, very noisy
 
Coin Op sold it in less than 24hrs. I was tempted but might have too much for me to bring back to a sociable condition!
 
The IPDB says it's Not a Pinball so who are we to argue? ?


I remember playing one of these back in the day at Bristol ice rink, I had a couple of very hectic, but short, games! Would be good to have one at home to learn how to play it properly - but the noise if nothing else would preclude that at the moment!

It's pretty cool when you figure out the rules, it has smart bombs to use and stuff... it was almost like a mechanical version of video games of the time like Defender.

This is very true. I believe it's called pinball because of the 'pins' on the table that the ball would hit as it made its way down the playfield.

And there are no pins on Hyperball, so there's your answer.
 
Also no pins on any pin since they stopped making ones with pins so not really valid lol [emoji13]

Found some on my SWT?

Early Bally SS games had nasty looking pins like those ones above fitted at the factory
 
This contraption is coming to Basingstoke, I bet I can hear it from my house:p

Haha. You might just!

Rules are quite good. Hit the moving flash before it zaps your energy centre. Multiple flashes, use smart bomb.

It is quick and no time for distractions!
