Cabinet Information

The cabinet is about four inches narrower than a stardard Atari cabinet and slightly longer. The marquee is combined with the monitor glass into one piece and player tips are included in the art. Mounted inside the cabinet is a 3-D playfield with bumpers, L.E.D.'s and fully decorated with a city nightline, neon stars and disco dancers! The control panel extends outward, decorated with a 40's-esque hand indicating where to press the start button. The flipper controls are on the left and right sides of the control panel and the panel itself has a spring that allows the player to push down on it for a nudge effect. A plunger is located at the front of the panel. The side art consists of a metal ball bursting across the cabinet along with lined borders, similar to artwork on other 70's Atari cabinets.

Game Play

The game is played exactly like a 70's pinball game.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
