AEROBATICS
We LOVE Aerobatics in the Vice Household. Don’t think of this as a typical EM. It’s more like a high-concept early Solid State. This has some very unusual game flow, with two spinners that feed a saucer (so does the plunger), which in turn lights targets on the playfield or advances the bonus. The inlanes are semi-open and a ball is capable of rolling up them and out of play. “Cringe-Lanes” we named them, especially when YOU slap them up and out of play. To make up for these beasts, both outlanes are easily lit, and if the ball falls down a lit outlane, you get an extra ball. Not only that, but every outlaned ball has a puncher’s chance of bouncing back into play, something you can affect directly with a well-timed nudge. No table has earned more TILTS for the right reason than Aerobatics. Yes, it can get repetitive. No doubt about it, and Jordi’s “low” rating of GOOD is absolutely fair. We admit that our family duels with Aerobatics elevated our ratings, as this is one of the great competitive tables in the Zaccaria lineup. But, we also concede those duels usually devolve into who can get the most extra balls. Those matches are every bit as exciting as they are strange. This is one of the few EM/Solid State Zaccaria tables that earned multiple MASTERPIECE votes from The Pinball Chick squad for a reason. Cathy takes it a step further and cites this as Zaccaria’s finest table. Aerobatics is a one-off, and one of the most underrated tables in the history of the sport.
