Bally Nitro Ground Shaker - Nice Story
« on: August 08, 2013, 10:56:23 PM »
I was browsing through eBay (US) tonight, and came across a Bally Nitro Ground Shaker.  Interesting in that, although it had a production run of about 8,000 machines, you rarely see one here either for sale on the forums or eBay Australia.

I have never played let alone seen the game.  So for fun, I went on youtube, punched in NGS pinball to get a feel for the gameplay, and came across this link.

Although the video is almost 10 minutes (with the last 6 minutes or so showing the gameplay), the first part of the video shows the story behind this owner's game - now that's a great find, and what a story!

This topic was done a while back. http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?topic=10851.0
Got me interested in both the story and the game. Bill at Williamstown has or at least had one for sale that looked pretty good. Looks like a machine that I would like.
