I LOVE what Eddy and Sullivan did with this game. The deep branching mode structure and story are absolutely perfect for a D&D themed game. I personally own a Premium.

BMX Part 3
BMX, Hardbody and Bally’s 1987 game Dungeons & Dragons all use the cool flex-save lanes feature that saves the ball from draining when an extra flipped button is pushed.
BMX was originally created to be based upon E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial but Bally couldn’t secure the license. The game has the exact same playfield layout as Bally’s 1987 game Hardbody. The only difference besides art is the lack of a magnet in Hardbody’s upper playfield.

The game doesn’t really have scoring, the only goal is to try to get your horse to win the race by hitting the proper bumpers.

Players insert a nickel into the game and use levers to flip it through a series of eight ramps and into a slot at the bottom. It’s sort of like a reverse Taito Ice Cold Beer.
Traditionally, players who successfully completed the game were awarded a beer or ice cream 🍺 🍦.

I love this game. Yes, it’s kind of slow because it’s super wide, but it sure is packed.

Almost all of the Guardians that I have seen in person, including my own are Pros, so it’s cool to see a Prem. The Premium version adds Groot’s arms, spinners, RGB LEDs, a motorized orb and extra magnets.
