Hercules: Super-Sized Pin! Have you played one ever?
« on: November 05, 2009, 10:12:18 PM »
Looking at the Pinball data Base, I was shocked to see that Bally was offered the rights to make what became this pin, and made Two, but then balked and let Atari get the rights. Anywho, Big Foot was the working name and BG for the Bally version. I was lucky enough to Play Hercules when it first came out, but at $1.00 a game, that was Big Money back then, and the game was  so slow and clunky that after a few plays, it wasn't something that you would want to ever play again. It seemed like it was 10 minutes time just for the ball to get up to the top of the playfield. 15 Years ago we had one in Myrtle Beach at the now defunct Circus arcade. It still blew chunks! I have to chuckle though as one seems to show up every year for sale. You would need a large truck and a damn forklift to move it though. I also remember getting parts for it is hard. Hercules! Not! :angry (2):
