Just going off topic for a sec, and since it's been mentioned, how's the gameplay of Medusa Strangeways?? Any flaws?? Anything you DONT like about the game or find annoying? Any other game you can compare it to?
Hardest Bally machine by a mile. Unique in that it has a display in the playfield (Vector is similar) with a bonus counter and a timer. Nearly all the scoring is done in the top section where the Drop Targets are located. It is VERY fast and the outlanes are very unforgiving. The pop bumpers are down low - this makes the game fast. Keep the ball up the top of the playfield - that's the secret.
I've had games where I've scored 1,750,000 in one ball, but most games I struggle to hit 250,000.
It is hard to compare it to other Ballys of that era, because it is unique. Slightly close to Flash Gordon perhaps ?
