Working through the rules, but still need all the lights to work. Now I need to find a switch problem, a diode or cap is bad. After a minute of two it just keeps scoring, looks like switch 19. I did map out all the switches. Switch 19 is the Z spot target.
What I know about the rules as of now:
1. The multi-ball is more like Fireball and less like Mars God of War. That is:
a. One does not have to activate the out-holes, they hold the ball until other things happen.
b. A ball is released from ball trough after one is placed in one of the three out-holes.
c. The balls stay there and do not drain upon ball drain or next player. So you can "steal" the
last players balls. (Ha, Ha) Awesome right?
d. The ball release switches (one is just left of the top three lanes and the other is behind the four bank drop targets, under the large plastic rollover switch) are activated when the three spot targets just right of the top three lanes are hit once each, then one more time hit the one that is flashing or lit (not sure yet). Still working the details out on this. Looks like it releases all balls that are in out-holes (like Mars God of War not like Fireball).
2. Top three lanes/bonus multiplier.
a. No lane changing. (too bad)
b. After one completes all three lanes, one must roll through any of the 9 lanes, lit or not. That is the three at the top or the six out lanes at the bottom. This advances the bonus multiplier.
c. When one passes through one of the three lanes at the top, it lights the corresponding color out lanes for more points.
3. LazerLord spot targets.
a. LazerLord spot targets spell LazerLord and must be hit in order. At game start the first letter is flashing and after being hit the next letter starts flashing and so on. Upon completing LazeLord the red lens lights for a special. To collect the special it looks like you have to hit the letter that is flashing. Will know more soon.
4. Drop targets.
a. Not tested yet but looks like simple rules written on the playfield.
5. Extra flipper buttons are not used for anything. Left there from the Viper game used for the turret.
1982 STERN LAZERLORD WHITEWOOD PINBALL REVEAL: This Blog is to document the journey of one pinball game called Lazerlord. So if you are interested in Pinball history, in particular the Stern company in the early 80's, a game that never made it to production, this blog is for you.
