Title: Anyone Remember This Pinball Machine... Post by: spacel0rd on October 29, 2013, 02:24:24 pm Does anyone remember a pinball machine that had the theme of the moon? The ball wouldn’t roll on a flat surface, but instead on a soft, almost knitted surface. The weird surface would make the ball do some funky twists and turns as if there was no gravity.
I saw it once or twice as a kid. Title: Re: Anyone Remember This Pinball Machine...

I went through the entire list when i did my search and this is the only one i found even close to your description. Truthfully even if its not I'm kind of interested in it myself.

I played that game at Allentown pinfest. Def' a strange game. Title: Re: Anyone Remember This Pinball Machine...

There's a demonstration for the curious. Title: Re: Anyone Remember This Pinball Machine... Post by: alby13 on November 06, 2013, 02:06:07 am talk about obscure. i would like to put a quarter in and play it!
wow this almost looks like a "fake" joke machine. i can't believe this is real! one of the strrangest.. maybe the "craziest" pinball machine ever? Title: Re: Anyone Remember This Pinball Machine... Post by: Mr_Rampage on November 18, 2013, 06:14:29 pm Happy to see my research helped. I think its a really interesting game myself. Going to check out that link because i am honestly curious about its game play.

The trippiest thing about it is a lot of the time the ball will roll back behind the flippers and then come shooting back out ontto the playfield...this is without bouncing off anyitng mind you! I think it was a weird combo of the tons of spin the ball would get from those high rpm wheels and the weird shape of the `playfield`. Title: Re: Anyone Remember This Pinball Machine... Post by: ronsplooter on February 18, 2014, 05:22:32 pm Quote Def' a strange game. +1 on that, played it at the Pinball Parlour arcade here in the UK and it is very weird. Didn't help that I'd had a few beers but it was definitely a case of "that was kinda cool, now lets go play some proper pinball". One to own if you have a big pin collection and want something a bit different :) Quote but instead on a soft, almost knitted surface It's a hard plastic surface thats molded into troughs and peaks. When you lift the playfield it's very different from a normal pin. Underneath is very deep and the pf sits in a kind of cage or jig.....it's really difficult to get to some of the mechs and parts with taking loads of stuff off apparently (according to the guy who owns the Pinball Parlour). |
