Vic Camp Pinball: Big Hit "Game Play instructions " part 2

Описание: In 1977 Gottlieb manufactured and designed this 4 flipper machine to play just like the game of baseball is played. It has an animated light show in the lower center of the playfield. This light show gives the player the chance to imagine there are real players running the bases. Well at least this is what my mind is thinking as i play this player friendly base ball themed Gottlieb wedge head. The game provides lots of fast action with the ball always scoring runs for singes, doubles, triples and homerun for replays. A player can also win replays for high score.

The coloring and artwork are very nice on this late 1977 wedge head and are pleasing to the eye. This game is player friendly and extremely fun to play. The ball doesn't go out to often and having both 3" flippers at the top of the playfield and at the lower playfield make for some wild and powerful smacks with those big 3" flippers, especially at the top of the playfield.

I do not recall too many other Gottlieb wedge heads or Gottlieb EM games that have the 3" flippers located at the top of the playfield and at the bottom of the playfield except for Gottlieb's Jumping Jacks and Jack in the Box.

If a player has great eye and hand reflexes they could have an easy and fun time smacking down those nicely colored labeled drop targets at the very top of the playfield or lower part of the playfield, which is a wider playfield because of the cool right flipper button design of kicking out the ball from the center of the playfield (instead of the manual spring loaded ball shooter rod design).

I really like the vari-targets and even though they aren't directly in line with the flippers to be hit. It makes the game more challenging where the vari-targets are located. If set correctly the vari-targets do not need much power to push back and pin the metal lever for a home run. There are other ways to make a home run on Big Hit but none better with a power flip pinning the vari-target all the way to the top. Also i like the pop bumper arrangement and find it to be quite different then the normal.

When this game is pitched slightly higher on its back legs tilting the playfield forward the game plays very fast and quick making it more challenging and fun to play with some not so often seen flipper action. If you are into player friendly games and want a nice Gottlieb wedge head drop target game then Big Hit should be on your want list. How can you go wrong with flipping for specials at the very top arch corner rollovers of the playfield which can be made with the bottom or top set of flippers. What a skill shot!
