Let's dance and party at... CACTUS JACK'S!
1991 Gottlieb

It's POLKA TIME at... CACTUS JACK'S!  This game was produced in 1991 by Gottlieb, creator of some of the most popular pinball machines on the planet!  Gottlieb was known for creating non-violent, family-friendly and just plain fun games during the 90's.  They came up with titles like Cactus Jacks, Super Mario Brothers and Surf'n Safari to cater to families.  Cactus Jack's is the epitome of what pinball should be... a great theme with fabulous artwork and a very easy to understand, yet challenging set of playing rules.  This game was produced in limited quantity with under 2,000 units out of the factory, making it a somewhat rare title.  Everyone that plays this game agrees that it's a true blast to play!  So come join the fun with Cactus Jack's dancing cactus band where you can play the banjo, start a food fight, laugh and play, and more importantly... score BIG POINTS!

Listen to the crazy cactus Polka band as the emcee talks to you and clues you in on what parts of the playfield you need to visit.  Plunge the ball up the shooter ramp to an elevated clear second-level playfield to make the SKILL SHOT for 200,000 points!  Watch the ball drop down to the lower playfield rollovers and then into the cactus pop-bumper arena!  Shoot the ball into the THORNY SURPRISE capture hole for a random award.  Fire the ball up the left ramp repeatedly to get a MILLION POINTS, then go for JACK"S POT for even bigger awards!  Shoot the right ramp to advance the EXTRA-BALL value for continued play.  Those are all great features, but the main objective of this game is to knock down the lit drop-targets on the left side.  Each time you complete the sequence, your food-value will advance on the backglass.  Start with an egg, then advance through bananas, tomatoes, pumpkins and finally watermelons.  Now, shoot for the upper hole to start POLKA-TIME MULTI-BALL!  The bigger the food item you throw at the band, the more points you will get!  There are other modes too, such as the pop-bumper round and hurry-up banjo bonus round.  That's just the start... this playfield has an incredibly entertaining and well thought design that will keep you challenged for hours at a time.  This classic and FAMILY-FRIENDLY theme goes great in any home gameroom!

The playfield on this game is in excellent condition due to the installation of a clear mylar protective layer that was installed over most of the playfield when the game was new.  The plastics and ramps are all in excellent condition.  The backglass artwork on the game is in pristine condition.  The cabinet is also excellent with very few imperfections.  The legs have been refinished and the playfield glass and T-molding are brand new.  The game plays lightning fast just like it did in 1991!
