Light inserts on the lower playfield take the place of the clock's functionality.Įach player who starts a game of Funhouse is given a name.like Chucky, Spunky, Bucko, and Slick. The concept of "Slick" was that Rudy didn't like you and was picking on you, which we thought would cause buddies to rib each other in multi-player games but no one noticed this either besides discovering certain "rare" phrases like "zooooooooooooooooooooom"! Most interesting in a multi-player game but in my opinion a feature that we put a lot of effort into which had very little impact on the quality of the game (most people just didn't notice).

A talking he ad opens mouth when clock reaches midnight. Upper loop has a "trapdoor" that opens briefly when an upper loop shot is made. The ramp has a diverter that guides the ball either to the left inlane or the left outlane for a left plunger skill shot attempt.
