Thanks for the video. I had one of these in our takeaway shop way back in 1979. We also had a Bally, Mata Hari later which I never liked. The gameplay of Surf Champ was more fun. I remember how the ball ended up more down the middle than the side chutes.
This guy's a good player lots of good flipper work. I don't see how anybody can like to play the computerized machines. Electro mechanical is the heart and soul of pinball. Instead of try to compete with computer video games, pinball factories should have stuck with electro mechanical and kept pinball that way forever. Gottliebs would probably still be here in business today
The truth is that pinball enjoyed a massive resurgence with the introduction of solid state technology. People were lining up to play the latest games with electronic sound and digital displays. The EM games are great, for sure. But the electronic games breathed new life into a tired industry.
This game plays really well. The spinner, the stronger flipper coils and is its fast due to the angle. Nice!
Gottlieb was a great maker in the 70's. Even their simple games had decent shots to go for.
