Quit
talking and start chalking... EIGHT BALL DELUXE!
1981 Bally
ULTRA HIGH-END GROUND-UP RESTORATION!
The greatest billiard-theme pinball of all time... EIGHT BALL DELUXE! This game was produced in
1981 by Bally,
manufacturer of some of the most popular early digital pinball machines ever
created. This game is without a doubt, the MOST popular of the early Bally machines and is
one of the most requested games by our customers on a regular basis. This game has it all, the complete package - fantastic theme, great artwork, classic sound and speech, and finally the most important aspect - it plays better than ANY early 80's game, period. This particular model
is an original 1981 style cabinet run of the game and is the most desirable of all Eight
Ball Deluxe flavors. This game was so popular that they re-ran it in
1982 and again in 1984 with the same playfield and artwork, but in different
cabinet styles. Are you ready for the greatest
pinball machine to ever roll off of the Bally production line? Are you
ready for a completely restored vintage pinball collector piece? Here's your chance to own a
piece of pinball history!
You'll love all of the speech and background sound effects in this game as you are instructed to "Get the Five Ball" or "Get the Eight Ball", or the infamous quote... "Quit Talking and Start Chalking!" This game has all of the classic Bally features such as in-line drop-targets, self-dropping targets, pop-bumpers, roll-overs, slingshots, standing targets, kick-out holes and more. The feature package on this game is so fantastic, that I can personally play this machine
for hours at a time. It is incredibly tough to beat! I have owned
almost every pinball machine imaginable and one of the most frequently asked
questions I get is "What is your favorite game?". Well, my
answer is always the same... "If I could own only one pinball machine, Eight Ball Deluxe would be the ONE!".
Anyone who has been shopping around for an Eight Ball Deluxe knows how tough
it is to find a decent example of the game. People often spend thousands
on "player quality" games that have completely worn playfields and
horribly ugly cabinets. There isn't much more that I can say about the
condition of this game that the pictures do not show. To use automotive
terms, it's a ground-up, frame-off, torn down to the last nut and bolt
restoration. Nothing has been left undone and this is the nicest Eight
Ball Deluxe I have ever seen in my lifetime. It's better than a brand
new game. If I had any sanity, I would keep this one for myself!
