Hercules Worlds largest Pinball machine

[Eddie]

This is the first of a few videos that I put together while at the Pinball Expo 08

I played this game back in 79' at a Civilian Airport While refueling my U.S.A.F. plane. I forgot the name of the Airport but it was in Florida. I did remember paying $1.25 to play and in 79' that was a lot for an Arcade game thats why I remembered it.
Big Machine, Big Cost LOL.

I never saw it again until last Wednesday at the show! It would be a real keeper.

They have the Hercules pinball at California Extreme every other year. It's a real treat to have been able to play that machine.

There is a HERCULES pinball machine in an arcade at Keansburg amusements on the boardwalk at Keansburg, NJ.
I played it last year for .25 a play. It was clearly well used but worked well. I'm sure it's still there.

Someone make one using a bowling ball!

How big would that machine have to be?

And how strong would it all have to be?

Remember those hollow rubber bowling balls you'd use in Gym class, you could use one of those instead of a real 8+ pound bowling ball!

No, use the real thing! Let's say, 2,000 sqft, just ramp up a regular pinball design. You stand on a platform above it (so you could see the whole thing) and it's played with the controls from a regular pinball. How cool would that be?

Remember that Pepsi commercial? But not that big!

In order to get the ball in play...You would have to "bowl" it. That would be cool!
