Eight Ball Champ
'Eight Ball Champ' was apparently Bally's first production game to use the 6803 control board for its entire production run. Uses the AS-2518-81 "Squawk and Talk" sound board. Reportedly, there is a printing error in the manual: setting 28 in the manual is actually setting 27 in the game itself.
Left orbit can be huge scoring. 100K orbit max, 100K saucer max, at 3X playfield that's 600K per shot!
Knock down upper left and upper right drop targets first. Because, if you drain, they reset next ball, helps as you need to drop them twice.
Left orbit almost all day (if not for the need to also complete pool ball racks). Feeds top lanes, which complete for playfield multiplier!
Work the lanes at the top. Remember, you are trying to put lights out, not light them!
