GEIGER · 1980
Wild Schutz
This conversion kit for Bally's 1978 'Strikes and Spares' consisted of a backglass and playfield. Federico Croci tells us that artist Mike Martinelli told him that this game was his favorite work of art. Mr. Geiger told us that the theme for this game is from a novel from Ludwig Ganghofer (1855-1920) and supposedly from a film version "Hubertusjagd" from 1959. The actual name of the novel was not identified to us. Mr. Geiger also provided us the production run quantity and confirmed the date that we have.
Middle top lane lights spinner. Complete top lanes advances bonus X. Saucer scores lit strike value... just get the spinner lit and rip it.
When the center top lane is lit for Strike, roll though the lane to advance Strike Value. Otherwise you need to complete 10 evil rollovers.
The Strike Value saucer generally has a nice feed; figure out the return and send the ball back up top accordingly.
Completing ABC lanes (via spinner) advances the bonus up to 5x. After 5x, each completion is a Special worth tons of extra points.
