That could be the one I was thinking of! They arranged all the "fighting" pinball tables in one group at one of the piers at Blackpool, so they're all one big mixed up memory from my youth. So you're probably right!retrogarden wrote:Did they make a MK pinball game? I know Street Fighter Pinball had that under the table thingy, but was there an MK one?ColonelK wrote: Mortal Kombat - odd under-the-table minigame where you had to break a pretend wall

Actually thinking about it...
Gauntlet, Centipede, Star Wars and Operation Wolf should be in that list, as should MS Pac Man, Donkey Kong Jnr, Marble Madness, Bubble Bobble, Berzerk, 1943, Burger Time, Ghosts N Goblins, Joust, R-Type, Space Invaders, Spy Hunter, Warlords ... and just about every game mentioned so far in this list... even Boot Hill !!!
It's not right, you just don't need this pressure in life...
