I played a Apollo 13 . Fun Game. Not the fastest but fun. Lots of missions.

Plenty of videos on Youtube. This video is a good one.

Great fun, absolutely insane 13-ball multiball that can be achieved at any time during the game, not a bad theme.

Get one!!! And then move to Melbourne so I can play it...

Didn't mind playing it a fun game,13 ball multiball was just a gimmick though as anymore than 5 or so the balls just get in each others way and you cant get a shot off.

I am a sucker for all things Apollo Project related, especially the luckiest mission of all 13.

This machine is decent fun, not too good audio, a little too cramped playfield, pretty silly 13 ball multi-ball. A disappointment as it's a game I would like to like, would suit an Apollo armchair historian like me, but alas, it's just not quite there. Probably a little above average for a Sega, I'm sure some would like it.
