    Banzai Run (1988).

    For its uniqueness of a 2nd vertical playfield, great music and clear play objectives, this is always an enjoyable table.

        Fun fact, the Banzai software was done by Ed Boon of Mortal Kombat/Noob Saibot fame.

        I don’t think there has been another multi-flipper playable backglass table made after this, but hoping someone can add details if there is.

        Highly recommend to check it out if there is one near you. Pinball map

          Also fun fact: Larry DeMar co-designed and co-programmed this one. I know Larry has a number of pinball credits, though I usually think of him more in relation to his work on Defender and Robotron.

            I had not realised up until this thread, that there was crossover between video-arcade and pinball creators.

            I’d always treated them as two totally separate worlds, that end up in the same arcades.
