TAF multiballs can be so punishing and no ball save certainly doesn't make it any easier.

I can't pick a specific game but I can say my personal record is the time it takes for the balls to drain right down the center. So, maybe, five seconds.
I am not very good.
In Bride of Pinbot I have drained all states of multiball faster than the disappointment can set in. And if I have the billion point shot set up, I can actually make the balls drain outside of time. In some kind of parallel nega-verse. It's a gift.

I am with you on that one.... I don't think the flashing LEDs help either. Playing that game in the dark would be very bad for anyone with epilepsy.
Quoted from RTR:Is firepower the earliest game to have a spinning disc?
Fireball is. But not the first with multiball. Balls a Poppin was the first, but doesn't feature the same ball lock system. Star Jet was the first of several Bally's in the 60s that feature modern type multiball. A machine that I would like to have. But chances are slim to none of getting one.
Ted Zale was the man responsible for many innovations in pinball that were way ahead of their time. I believe Fireball was his last EM with multiball.
Quoted from MikeS:I'd go with Black Hole. One of the hardest to start and when you do finally start it it doesn't seem to last long, especially if you don't open the gate by hitting the drops on the lower playfield.
This!
I stand corrected. There was a spinning disc long before Fireball on a game called Electro-Ball.

Would never have guessed 1932 for first pin with a spinning disc!
cftbl came to mind instantly, and i see gravitar beat me to it. here are more:
Judge Dredd "blackout" 2 ball multiball. there is no ball saver. game auto launches ball, no ball saver at all.
Alien star- 2 balls, no ball saver...and the plunge of the ball for multiball is at the games mercy as you have to plunge to the lanes and it drops in pop bumpers.

high speed
black rose

Game Plan Cyclopes.... The lower left pop keeps the ball moving right to left, which is never good for when you are trying to keep the balls in play.

Multiball on Radical can be over immediately. 2 balls kick out together and it's pretty easy to get a bad carom. No ball save.

Quoted from desertT1:You guys have played Stargate, right?
Sadly yes.
Hahah none of you have mentioned this one??
APOLLO 13
When you hit the 13 ball multiball. You are flipping those flippers like a crazy person for a couple seconds. Then go wow. Where did all the balls go?
