Bally Viking, has anyone played it?
there is one on e-bay, trashed playfield, but it does look like an interesting layout
Plus some genius has sealed the backglass
I would not buy this game but is it worth putting on my list?

Asked the guy for a play Pete and no reply in 2 day. Is only minutes from me

Viking is a nice play and nice to look at, not too many around. I would not buy this example as it looks like it needs some major dollars put in.

Must be an early production run.. has the very rare whitewood/ production playfield. Not many of these around

[Strangeways]

Great player and great artwork. Has "in line" drop targets like Paragon and has elements of Mata Hari and Playboy. It's design looks like it took ideas from previous games. The sounds are simple (no speech), and they are the electronic sounds similar to Space Invaders. A HARD game to track down, and although it does not play like Fathom, the art package is just as good.

I was interested in this one also until I saw the pictures. If repo playfields were available I'd probably give it a go but in its current condition it to much for me to worry about. In general though I like the look of this title.

Yes, this jumped out at me also. Backglass reminded me of Medusa. Great artwork!

Have one of these in my collection and the artwork is stunning, especially the backglass.  Interesting player as well with the inline drop targets and one way gates in the outlanes.

It llok like the game was made as a filler to keep the production line running
As you say, it seem to borrow elements of games Bally made two years before

With only 2000 or so made iI cannot see a repro playfield ever being made

Had a bit closer look at the photos and looks like shots from the dealer's house. Dunno if he is trying to  move it on quickly or not but won't respond to emails

I was not planning on buying that game
with the worn playfield and the sealed with red paint backglass, the machine on ebay has nothing going for it

I had never taken much notice of this title, and wanted to know if it was worth getting one eventually

[Toads]

I'd like to play a few games on it too. It's got all the traits of the late seventies early eighties bally and the artist is in the backglass.
I'm another fan of in line drops.
