Hey Greg, I just spotted that. Shame about the Backglass, I wonder if it's the same one that was on ebay from up our way at Anna bay around march/april 06. It was missing backglass & needed work & I was kickin' myself ever since for not checking it out  :lol
maybe?

Thanks, I am not of the Youtube generation really, but I will have to remember to try there.

After seeing that it sounds pretty complicated, and frankly not so exciting.

Actually - It is a very nice title - shame about the BG on this particular game.

I reminds me a little of the Widebody Stern "Big Game". similar colors, and the playfield is "sort of" similar !

I reckon that the best bit of the game is the backglass, which is missing on the Ebay one.  Not one of Sterns better efforts - very confusing bonus layout and the backbox game which gets very tedious, but can be useful in getting the bonus "rack" filled if you are lucky. Had one for a while and sold it.

cheers

I don't think it is one that would hold my attention long-term.
