Solar Fire in Australia?
« on: October 27, 2013, 03:16:33 PM »
Black Knight is the most popular of Williams double playfield with Magna Save,
But Pharaoh was the machine I played at the local bowling alley
Never played Jungle Lord

So that leaves Solar Fire.
I have not seen one of these listed in any Australian collection, nor can I remember seeing any come up on E-bay
I assume then that they never were imported to Australia. Correct?

Has any one played one?
How does it compare to the other 3?

Three games that are sought after.

Black Knight is plentiful and a legendary player

Pharaoh is a very good player. Artwork is excellent.

The third game was Jungle Lord. These three were operated in Australia. Solar Fire were not produced in enough numbers to make it to Australia. This is when the SYS7 platform production runs tapered. I've heard of one container game that was completely trashed. That's about it. i'm sure someone will have one in a collection, but it would be rarer than say a Fathom.

But I do not know what I am talking about and I cannot edit my error

my BK has the transformer in the backbox, which was moved to the cabinet during production
