Game
objectives
Spell
A-B-C via the top rollovers in order to advance
the bonus multipliers. Possible values are
2X, 4X, 6X, and 8X. The A-B-C lights are switched
in conjunction with the left and right flipper.
Lock balls and activate multiball play. To
enable ball locks, light all 3 mini loops.
Lock the balls by hitting the black holes.
Start multiball by hitting the flashing gate.
A quick multiball can be achieved by hitting
the target gate twice in a row. Hit drop targets
to advance toward bonuses, extra ball, and
special. Each target has a red/green light
in front of it to indicate if it is available
(off), or collected (on). Each set of targets
is used to light Bonus, Extra ball and Special.
Hit the centre targets to advance toward Extra
Ball, and random prizes. Shooting several times
will enable you to get bonuses, extra ball,
special, and random prizes.
Strategy
Go
for the Extra Ball! It is easiest to complete
the drop target banks on the upper playfield
to light the first Extra Ball (upper playfield).
Drop targets can be completed much faster during
Multiball. During Multiball, focus your concentration
on the playfield level that has the most balls
on it. That is, if more balls (2 or more) are
in play on the upper playfield, focus your
attention on the flippers there. Or if more
balls are on the lower playfield, focus your
attention there. The playfield with more balls
on it will be the source of more scored points
during Multiball. To get bigger scores, focus
on locking balls for Multiball play, and on
personal strategies and skills for keeping
balls in play longer...
And don't forget: use the push function! Good players can play forever if they
know how. :)
