VOLCANO (Gottlieb, 1981)

NEW PINBALL ALERT!!!!!! PINBALL WITH A POW!!!!



Wow! Let's diiiiive into VOLCANO pinball!

This one is a Gottlieb 1981 replacing MARS: God of War which was also a Gottlieb 1981!!

Like Mars, this one is a WIDE-BODY PIN. It's got an interesting feature at launching the ball with a rotating thingy that makes the ball go in slightly different directions when you launch.
It's got THREE flippers (one upper one that's going more side-ways)
It's got a cool TRAP-DOOR that you might not notice at first!
It's got a mini SKEE-BALL course in the upper right corner!
It's got FOUR pop bumpers all placed in random spots!
It's got like 8 DROP TARGETS or something
It's got extra BUTTONS next to the flippers that do WEIRD THINGS that you will hardly ever use

I like that you chose the video here that they guy made when he sold me the game. This is indeed our Volcano right here except the sounds are wrong, which took me a very long time to fix.

you might also want to mention this has 3 BALL MULTIBALL

Okay let's dive in to the VOLCANO RULES



Okay okay, first off easiest thing to figure out is how to lock balls and get multiball.

Other than that, once you get no multiball there's no jackpot... but something about getting it in the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th "craters" to start timed playfield multipliers? I'm gonna guess that that part is what's going to be crucial for when you got a multiball going?

Last week I got a new personal high score of 430,890 **(currently 25th on pinside)
... so close to the current 448,000 high score that's on there.
Whoever has that high score you better add it to Pinside.com so we know who you are
