Pressing P more than once will allow you 2, 3 or 4 players. Bonus - Hitting several targets will increase the bonus and hitting the five targets on the left of the board will advance the multiplier bonus. If it is in x5 and all five have been hit you will win an extra ball. Other bonuses: Lighting up A, B and C you score 10,000. The right flipper rotates lights A, B and C. Lighting ABC or hitting the central targets advances the bonus. Falling into a hole advances the bonus, but if it is at 20,000 then the bonus, including the multiplier will be collected. Lighting up 100, the bumpers will score 100 instead of 10 when they are hit. An extra ball will be obtained at 250,000, 480,000 and 720,000. One extra ball per ball is allowed. The ball is returned if it is lost without scoring.

If you never figured out what to do and how to play the pinball game Timescanner on the ZX Spectrum, you might be interested in something more simple. Microball can then be recommended because it is pretty simple to figure out what to do, and even if you don’t figure it out you will probably by coincidence succeed in flipping the ball where it needs to go anyway. The big points is to find when collecting the bonuses from the two holes at the top of the table in each side of the screen – see 6:04 and 9:10

If you are into pinball game you should check this one out, it is easy to get into, it plays fast and fine, and it is possible to hit whatever that needs to be hit.

With some practice it is also possible to beat the game and make the scoreboard reset!

A simple but fast paced and well made pinball game!

The game was published by Alternative Software Ltd in 1988.
