It never occurred to me till now, or maybe it did originally and I just forgot I did, but the voice on here is the same one on Black Knight. I had played both games, so I ought to had noticed.
Fun vid. Thanks for sharing. "Firepower," is an underrated classic. It doesn't have the try-too-hard gizmos, like "Ripley' s Believe It or Not," but it's not a solid state snore fest, like "Central Park." Lots of bang for your buck.
I worked in a video arcade in 1980 and remember noticing there was always a line to play firepower. Once I started playing it I realized why it had developed such a cult following. Hands down the best use of a quarter ever invented. My nomination for best coin operated machine of all time, and that includes all other pinball games, video games, juke boxs, slot machines, cigarette machine, coke machine, or even condom dispenser.
Anyone who put there fingers on those flipper button would have to agree with you. It is outstanding in all regards and even gives expert players a run for their money!
This is one of the prototype machines because it has drop targets in stead of the six stationary targets in the center.

wow, with drop targets ;)
AN all time favorite game. When I played this game for the first time, I also achieved multiball.
