Welcome to VPGL23 Game8 Big Bang Bar nominated by visual pinball legend Crackers or Richard.m. 😁Can't remember which one but thankyou for a very fine nomination. This game was released originally designed by Capcom in June 1996. The game was released by Pinball Manufacturing.inc, a division of Illinois Pinball inc after the Capcom pinball division closed down. The game had a production run of 183 machines so what a privilege it is to be playing this gem. The game was designed by Rob Morrison & artwork by Paul Mazur and Stan Fukuoka. We are playing the 3 ball version. We have the option of playing a number of fantastic version including recent game reproduction by VPinWorkshop. Who will be our champion banger and who will be left hungover on the floor.mmmmmmmm🤔
