ABOUT

Same playfield as Bally's 1981 'Centaur'. This game was one of three games to utilize the unique backboxes left over from the production of Bally's 1982 'Rapid Fire'. Designer Jim Patla said that 'Centaur' was inspired by the classic Bally's 1956 'Balls-A-Poppin' and that Irv Grabel designed the multiball mechanism on this game. Uses a "Say it Again" reverb card in addition to the "Squawk and Talk" speech card.
