Game Quote: "You couldn't HIT water, if you FELL OFF a BOAT!" ("The Heckler", In Game Voice)
The LAST "Pitch and Bat" baseball game ever made.
Its also the only "pitch and bat" game, which used dot matrix display, animations, fancy graphics, and not to mention a superior WPC sound system which really gives the feeling of being in a ballpark.
The game actually keeps score of your overall batting average, RBI, bases stole, and home runs.
SlugFest! Notable Features:
FOUR selectable types of baseball pitches (fast ball, curve ball, change up, and screwball) (This feature uses a magnet to influence the ball)
Home Run Ramp, for hitting balls out of the park and Grand Slams (A elevating ramp which rises out of the playfield)
"The Heckler" Taunting Fan (A DMD animation sequence, that is hilarious to watch and a challenging stunt to achieve)
Baseball Card Dispenser which awards cards for: Home Runs, Hit "The Heckler", RBIs, and matches
The game allows you to steal bases, and the other player can throw you out at the same time!
"Pinch" hitting, for immediate potential for home runs
"Seventh Inning Stretch" Animation National Anthem Game Start
GREAT GAME for TWO players. A wonderful change from standard pinball action.
As an interesting sidenote, during production of SlugFest the standard instruction and price pinball cardholders were removed from the playfield area (you can see the holes on the two big playfield plastics) and the were relocated on an instruction decal attached to the GI lamp board plastic located directly behind the backstop and baseball bat. |
