Spectrum (Bally 1981) VPW

---

"Get A Clue!"

VPW are proud to present Spectrum by Bally.

Sixtoe was looking for a relatively simple but good looking table to scratch build start to finish himself, mainly to teach himself Blender and the VPX toolkit and this seemed to tick all the boxes. But before that the playfield and plastics needed to be redrawn, with Sixtoe doing the playfield and cyberpez doing an amazing job of the plastics.

Spectrum is a very rare game in the wild (500 made with over half unsold / scrapped), it was unsuccessful mainly because when it was released no-one understood the rules as they're very different from normal, so I very much suggest reading the rules or watching the rules video linked at the bottom, but quick overview;

It's literally a pinball version of the Mastermind board game.
You have to guess 4 colours in a row, hit all 3 drop targets to guess that colour.
If you guessed right the colour will flash, if you guess it wrong it will be solid.
If you hit a lit saucer or the center top saucer they will give you a clue.
If you guess all 4 in the correctly it will increase your superstar status.
