4 Million BC

March 23, 2005

Wow! 4 Million BC!!! Weren't dinosaurs at least 65 Million Years BC? Well, you don't have to be smart to design pinball machine titles. Just a CEO of a pinball company. Whatever!

This machine Rocks. It's a predecessor to Fireball with a reverse Skill Shot that is tough to get! You can load 2 captive balls, and it has a kicker, return gate, and Zipper Flippers. The Volcano Saucer captures the ball and starts a sequencing point target. The "Tar Pit" captures the ball and is released after 3 hits on the center mushroom target, advancing with each hit, thus justifying its being named for a slow death. What a great game. No Bonus, No Specials, No Extra Ball. Just plain old pinball with high points score.

Produced by Bally, 1971. 4 players. 9.9 out of 10 on the Play-O-Meter
