The Bally title NBA Fastbreak was notable for having a link feature, but it is rare that you ever found them linked to play…  but at this year’s show, you’ll be able to compete against someone else to find out who is better! Bally’s NBA Fastbreak game introduced a new concept — using a couple parts, you could connect two games together, and players could face off head-to-head style in a unique, timed event.  Unfortunately, finding a location that had two NBA Fastbreak pinball machines was tough to do, and finding a location that actually had those two games linked was nearly impossible. At this year’s Midwest Gaming Classic, there will be two linked NBA Fastbreak machines for a tournament!  Qualify throughout the day by playing the game in the normal fashion that the game was played in, and at the end of the day the top players will face off against eachother in head-to-head pinball to see who the best player is! If you think that you can play this unique Bally game in both of it’s styles and be the best, you won’t want to miss this unique tournament!
