Catacomb
One of the playfields pictured in this listing is different from the other ones shown and from the game in the flyer because none of its drop target inserts are numbered and the center inserts are lettered A-B-C-D instead of numbered. We don't know the reason for this difference. The game manual references the version with the numbered inserts.
After the ball ends, press the right flipper to activate the backbox "bagatelle." Play continues until no time/flips or a repeat number.
There are two ball locks. Complete all numbers of a color to release all balls. If done on backbox, balls release on next ball.
To spot a number, time the drop target completion with the number being lit. There are also a few switches that spot numbers.
Use the left flipper in backbox mode to cycle between the 4 colors. Wise and fast control can build huge bonuses!
