ScoreGasm Master
About This Machine
The ScoreGasm Master is a rare and intriguing solid state electronic pinball machine from Day One Pinball Manufacturing, Incorporated. Manufactured in 2015, it represents one of the lesser-known players in the modern pinball scene. Designed by Andrew Barney and Terry Dezwarte, this unique machine boasts several distinct features that set it apart from other games.
One of the most notable aspects of the ScoreGasm Master is its innovative scoring system. Players accumulate points not through a traditional display on the backglass, but rather by tracking ball lands in various playfield pockets. The final score is tallied at game's end using a clever system that assigns point values to each pocket. This retro-style approach adds an extra layer of engagement and challenge for players.
In addition to its scoring system, the ScoreGasm Master features two kick-out holes, providing an exciting escape route for balls trapped in the playfield. The machine also boasts a high degree of customizability with adjustable metal ball sensitivity settings on the tilt cup. A sleek design, combined with a subtle color scheme and LED light accents, create a visually appealing experience. Although little is known about its theme or artwork, the ScoreGasm Master's unique blend of gameplay mechanics makes it an intriguing addition to any pinball enthusiast's collection.
Technical Details
- Model Number:
- 2014001
- MPU:
- Day One D1PSB
- Notable Features:
- Kick-out holes (2). The tilt cup comes with a choice of two metal balls as a method of sensitivity adjustment. The backbox contains an LED light strip, two speakers, a small sound board that is processor driven, and a driver board that runs the solenoids. Any of 45 sound effects are played when a progressive scoring hole is made. The backbox does not display the score. The final score is added up by the player at the end of the game by looking at the values assigned to each playfield pocket where balls have landed. A knob on the left side of cabinet front starts a new game by clearing the playfield of trapped balls and returning them to the ball lift mechanism. This mechanism is weighted with an actual U.S. "buffalo nickel" five-cent coin. Access to the cabinet and playfield glass removal are from the back. Operates at either 110/120v 60Hz or 220/240v 50Hz (switch-selectable).
