Hey hey! Here we have a 1972 Williams Super Star pinball machine in action for your viewing pleasure.
This machine is a cute game with some neat features. It's convertible to add-a-ball, which is what I have this particular game setup for. Hit the 1 through 5 rollovers to advance the centre hole scoring to special, which adds a ball to your game. Spotting the three SU-P-ER lanes at the top of the playfield light the Super Star Special at the centre hole for an added ball as well. If both specials are lit simultaneously, two balls will be added to the ball count! Oh! And the cool thing about the centre hole is the drop target that must be hit to access the saucer. Neat!
The niftiest feature of the game, however, is the outlane posts and the up-post between the flippers. Hitting the upper left or upper right stationary target raises the corresponding outlane post. Hitting the left or right side bumpers raises the centre post. But be careful! That centre post is a dirty tease because if the ball hits the "DOWN CENTER POST" rollover on its way between the flippers, that centre post is not going to save you at all! Trickery!
This game uses some pretty spicy pop bumper action to get the ball moving. The lack of inlanes add to the ball movement in front of the flippers. Fun game that's worth a shot!
Super Star was designed by Steve Kordek (of course) with artwork by Christian Marche (of course). The artwork features the likenesses of several popular musicians of the late--60's and early-70's. Neil Young? Tina Turner? Chicago? Aretha Franklin? Who knows. Looks like it to me.
