I put it in my top 10 wedgeheads because I'm a huge baseball fan, but it is a very fun and attractive player, with great bell sounds, that keeps you coming back to play.

This was the first of the “Street Level” games, which were an experiment by Gottlieb towards designing a simpler, single level (no ramps), slightly smaller game, to economically compete with much more complex games, which had multiple levels and ramps. Silver Slugger is a solid state baseball themed pinball machine released by Gottlieb in 1990. Most of the time, the ball will hit the side of the vari-target chamber and deflect towards one of the flippers or the bottom of the slingshots / return lane wires above them.Silver Slugger Pinball Machine by Gottlieb The feed from the top bumpers to the center is safer than it looks. Note though that side drains are worth 500 points, a big number on this machine, and you might actually win a game by “draining correctly” often enough. Key feeds: out of the side double and triple lanes watch out for both side and center drains. This item can be shipped to United States.

The item 1995 GOTTLIEB BIG HURT PINBALL MACHINE BASEBALL FRANK THOMAS is in sale since Friday, September 17, 2021. by shooting at the standup targets, is another matter. Whether or not you should try to light them, e.g. Īnyway, if you have the bumpers lit, UTAD becomes a more viable strategy, since it doesn’t take that many bumper hits to match the value of a vari-target shot. But scoring a triple will always turn the bumpers off. Notes: The add-a-ball version of this game is Gottliebs 1970 Batter Up. And they turn off only sometimes when you hit something in the game: runners on 2nd and 3rd, get a double, they turn off runners on 1st, 2nd and 3rd, get a double, then stay on. Maximum displayed point score is 9,999 points. You can light them with as few as two shots, even using just the vari-targets, or never light them for the entire game even with a high score. It may be the most creative ways to toggle the bumpers of any pinball machine ever built - not on switch hits, not on scoring reel status, not when you hit a specific target or set thereof and not when you finish all the lanes or numbers. Also, if you have a runner on first base, with or without runners on second or third, and score a double via the left side 200-point lane, you’ll then have runners on 2nd and 3rd. The right combination of hits will get you the necessary runners. The vari-targets, besides scoring points, score hits - singles for weak hits, doubles and triples for stronger ones, a home run for a maximum 500 point hit. So scoring #2 and #3 via either lane or target will do it. Each lane and the #2 targets score 50, btw, the 1 and 3 standups score 100. The 3, 2 and 1 standup targets likewise place a runner on the corresponding base. How do you do this? Those 3-1-2 lanes at the top each place a runner on the corresponding base when triggered. They light together, never separately, and they light only when you have runners on both second and third base. If your percentage on the vari-target is good, go that route. The vari-targets score 500 when pushed all the way back how often your shot gets full or near-full value will depend on how recently the flippers were rebuilt, how steep the game is, and how accurate you are. There are two ways to play the game: UTAD and vari-target. If you find that one of the lanes feeds the ball into one of the bumpers better than the others, stick with that lane.
