0370

Bally MPU AS-2518-35

Theme:

Fantasy

Notable Features:

Flippers (2), Pop bumpers (2), 4-bank drop targets (2), 4-in-line drop targets, 5-ball multiball. Ball hitting recessed red target in upper right corner of playfield is held there momentarily by a magnet under the playfield. Has speech, with operator-optionable reverberation.

This game has the standard ball-in-play tilt or can be operator-optioned to have two tilts per game. This means if a player activates the tilt mechanism a first time, the word “Warning” lights up on the silk-screened backglass and remains lit while the game continues for that player without penalty. However, if this player tilts a second time, even on subsequent balls in play, the game ends.

In Game Over mode, pressing either flipper button causes the playfield lights to highlight each major scoring feature, one at a time, while the speech card identifies that feature by name.

An Attract Mode operator option causes all five balls to automatically shoot onto the playfield every 15 minutes to interact with the pop bumpers and slingshots until they drain.

Design by:

Jim Patla

Art by:

Paul Faris

Mechanics by:

Irv Grabel

Notes:

Same playfield as Bally’s 1981 ‘Centaur’. This game was one of three games to utilize the unique backboxes left over from the production of Bally’s 1982 ‘Rapid Fire’.

Designer Jim Patla said that ‘Centaur’ was inspired by the classic Bally’s 1956 ‘Balls-A-Poppin’ and that Irv Grabel designed the multiball mechanism on this game.

Uses a “Say it Again” reverb card in addition to the “Squawk and Talk” speech card.

Care Instructions

REPRODUCTION BACKGLASS CARE and RECOMMENDATIONS

Never “triple thick” or apply any additional coatings to the backside of the glass.
Alcohol, acetone, and most ‘rattle-can’ liquids must NEVER contact with the ink.
If laying a glass down on its backside, always put down a towel or fabric to lay on.
The glass stock is tempered – so avoid significant hot-cold temperature shifts.
Be cautious of any impacts to the edges, such as setting the glass down on a concrete floor.
Never allow ‘sitting’ moisture on the backside. After 5-7 minutes there is a risk of ink degradation.
Do not spray cleaner directly onto the backside as prolonged contact with liquids may damage your glass.
If you must clean the backside (bulb dirt, etc.) wipe with a pre-dampened cloth (water or Windex).
After wiping, make sure the liquid is dried off (wipe all the way to dry). Do not allow any moisture to sit.
Glass cleaner sprayed directly on the fronts is fine.
Don’t let cleaner sit between the channels and your glass.
