Centaur is a pinball machine designed by Jim Patla and produced by Bally. The game was inspired by the classic Bally's 1956 Balls-A-Poppin that was the first flipper pinball machine with multiball. [1] [2] Because of its success, the pinball machine was re-released in 1983 as Centaur II. The re-release has only a different backbox and was otherwise unchanged. [3]
Description
The artwork of Centaur features black and white horror design with flashy red and yellow light. The ultimate goal of the pinball machine is to destroy centaur - a half-man half- motorcycle creature. [3]
Reasons for the success of the game include its well made sound effects including speech, 5-balls multiball, a playfield magnet and fast but fair gameplay. [3]
Digital versions
Centaur is available as a licensed table of The Pinball Arcade for several platforms.
