This is it. The ultimate collectible game of the ‘70s according to the literature. Bally put Ted Zale in charge of design, and Dave “Mad Dog” Christensen created the artwork. Production run was 3,815 units. Many firsts here. The whirlwind spinning disk was a first to throw off the ball once rolled upon. A messenger ball (captive ball) was a variation on a theme. The art package is truly amazing. A lower-left kick-back kicker, when activated, returns your ball to play. A free ball gate returns your ball to the plunger. “Zipper-flippers”, a first, close the gap between the flippers when activated, preventing the loss of the ball through the center drain until turned off. Once you lock two balls in the “odin” and “wotan” kickout holes, then hit “release messenger balls”, three balls are in play. There is no multiball jackpot in this game. You just have a period of high scoring and pinball chaos to contend with until you lose the first two balls in play.
