UK Machine Record
Quicksilver
Stern Electronics · 1980 · at 1 UK venue.
Quicksilver is an early Stern Electronics machine with a futuristic science-fiction theme and a layout built around direct target shooting. The game uses its space-age setting to give a relatively straightforward ruleset a distinctive identity.
The objective is primarily about completing target sequences and building towards the larger scoring features. With fewer rules than a modern machine, consistency becomes the main challenge.
It is a table where good fundamentals matter more than complicated strategy. Learn the target sequence and make every shot count.
