Today we're gunna look at Big shot Pinball.
Release by Gottlieb in 1973 Big Shot gets a virtual emulation treatment with Farsight
Studio's Pinball Arcade.
The object of the game is knock down all the spot target to light the billiard balls in
the middle.
If you light all the stripes or solids, a special will light up near the bumper, and
you can hit it to reset the target and score an extra ball.
There's a few more little features on this classic table.
Like rollovers on the top and sides of the playfield, a giant bumper in the middle, and
a sinkhole below, that opens up the right outline , which sends you back to the plunger.
You'll want to open it as soon as possible, because Big Shot pinball is unforgiving.
You really need to focus on catching the ball whenever you can, and always go for the drop
target on the opposite side.
Once you knock down either set of targets you still need to hit the special so you can
earn an extra ball.
Which is pretty easy to do from a catch.
You can get one extra ball per turn, and since this table is set to 5 balls by default, that's
ten balls you could possibly get for 1 play.
It's a good thing Farsight Studios keeps a rollover count, because the display only has
5 digits.
One of my biggest problems with this table is the scoring.
The 4th ball yields double points for dropped targets on finish, while the 5th ball yields
triple.
Meaning your first 3 balls are the least important.
The gameplay is fatiguing, you're constantly fighting the table trying to keep the ball
in play.
The ball finds the flippers more often than the in-lanes, so expect having to constantly
nudge and slam the table.
Overall Big Shot is an antique experience that can be appreciated by nostalgics, but
wouldn't hold someone's attention for too long today.
You really need to smack it around like a red headed stepchild if you want to get the
most out of Big Shot.
Which classic tables from this era do you think still hold up today?
