The challenge comes from gaining control of the ball, as either spinner feeds the roll-overs that lead to the bumpers. You take aim at either spinner, both laid along primary angles, and the value increases.
#Zaccaria pinball extra ball driver#
Unlike Aerobatics, there’s a clear driver here: the left spinner lane has a free ball attached to it if you charge-up the value enough. Really, Circus is electro-mechanical in-name-only. #2: The intuitive layout is perfect for introducing people to the late EM era of pinball. But the bright Blue/Red/Yellow/Green scheme here is distinctive and charming. It terms of layout, it’s not all that different from some of their other tables, especially Moon Flight. Having a name like “Circus” with no flare or pomp is typical of their output, but at least this one looks memorable. Zaccaria is (in)famous for its generic, broadly-themed tables. It’s worthy of being Certified Excellent by The Pinball Chick team.Ī few things strike me about Circus. If Oscar can get away with naming Firepower #2 of 100 Pinball Arcade titles, we can let Eala slide with that one.īut then, during our final play-through, the rest of us (except stuffy-old Jordi) admitted we underrated Circus. Originally, we all rated it GOOD except Eala, who fully conceded that childhood nostalgia bumped it to GREAT. In the case of Zaccaria’s 1977 release Circus, it made a massive difference. Before I put my fingers to the keyboard, we always make one final run through each table in a set. It’s a big effort that takes part in phases. A lot of people can’t fathom just how much time we put into these tables prior to writing any review on them.
