The play itself is mixed, so let's hit the good parts first. The playfield is well lit, and given the bright colors I think it is pretty easy to keep track of the ball.

Cabinet art is pretty tame comparatively, in that limited color stencil style favored at the time. George Opperman may have been Atari's greatest asset. Playfield art and backglass both give the comic book vibe from the era. It has a few cool ideas, and some really good shots, but it's also hampered by several things.ДЇirst, I should note that the art looks great. I enjoy being able to take a few seconds between shots and admire the beautiful artwork admist a game. Not lightning fast, but that's not what this game is about. Last ability = 9.5 it's just a great classic early solid state, I find if you set the back legs all the way up on 3' levelers and have the fronts all the way down, the game plays rather well. Sounds =10 pinnacle of early beeps, bops and Lazer beam Superman has all of these.ДЄrtwork = 10 just amazing layout and color choice Playing Superman brings back childhood memories of a time more simple where pinball was defined more by excellence in art and fluidity of play. Williams system 6 sounds are okay, I believe a little rigid, stern mpu100 the sounds are dorky and seem stifled (like they were concerned with perception or didn't spend the money on quality sound, Bally the sounds are okay, gottlieb system 80 are okay as well.ДЄll in all, because late 1970s and early 80s is my wheel house, Atari pinball sounds just capture the period best perhaps, its because Atari 2600 was out and those sounds are very similar. Yes, it's a widebody and it doesn't have ramps or fancy moving plastic creatures to hit with your ball, but it has a classic pinball sound like none other than Atari machines can give. Now.I own firepower, xenon, black hole.and there is just something great about this machines sounds. the artwork on this machine combined with colors used is amazing. I think the pinside value for this machine is way low. I love this game, they are getting hard to find in good condition, just picked up two of them, both non working, but amazing backglass.
