Vic Camp Pinball: 1974 Atlantis "GAME PLAY INSTRUCTIONS)

This wedge head is on everybody's wish list. The game play is superb.

There are many great playing EM games that Gottlieb made in the single player wedge head model that could be a good choice for the best drop target game ever.

The asymmetric playfield layout on Atlantis is wonderful with many skilled shots on drop targets, stand up targets, shots for the bagatelle section numbers 1 thru 9 and more. If you hit a blue and white drop target at the same time it will award a player 5000 points which is a nice feature in a drop target game. A player must know the top arch rollover shot to advancing the numbers 1 thru 9 out of the ball shooter lane.

Making SPECIAL isn't easy on Atlantis, but once a player does get the SPECIAL lit a player can beat the game for replays at three different places. The SPECIAL lights on the drop target bank, left side out and moves from all 3 stand up targets, which a player has to time just right to hit for a replay.

In my opinion Atlantis could be the best drop target game Gottlieb ever produced during the drop target era, but be careful because there are many other great drop target games from Gottlieb that could give Atlantis some competition. Challenging fun player for sure. Will keep you coming back for more.
