Noteworthy features

First pinball machine with its DMD located under the playfield glass. The 256x64 High Resolution DMD is unique to this game and is larger than those found in other games.
Curiously misnamed since an American company should have called this "Flipper Soccer".

Trivia

Up to six players can play, competing as two teams against each other to score goals. When its 1 player, he plays against the machine to score goals, but when the ball drains it scores a goal against him for the machine.
Has an Adult mode that contains profanity and bodily noises.

Latest software version

v1.04

Click here to view the changelog.

v1.04 (Sound v1.01)
- provided by Bill "Pfutz" Pfutzenreuter
- minor changes in setting menu (renaming of certain settings to better represent FF)
- unused audio clips removed (eg. audio test "sister" voice line removed)
- added confetti &amp;amp; streamers to goal score animation
- added opposing goalie 'hole' animation*
- added/tweaked attract mode animations

*Goalie 'hole' animation (spoiler!):
Scoring with only one drop-target down, the opposing goalie will be upset and throw the ball through the ground, creating a hole. Each subsequent goal scored will increase the size of the hole. Upon scoring a fourth goal, the goalie will jump into the hole and remain there for some time, making his saves from the hole (you only see his arm &amp;amp; hand pop up). The goalie will reset back to normal (or having no hole created) if "burn the goalie" is activated, too long between goals, or halftime occurs.


v1.01 (Sound v1.0)
- factory release
- all ROMs labeled 1.00 except u3H &amp;amp; u3L
