In this game, the player is out to challenge the Fire Gods in his quest for a high score. Master the SkillShot incline, activate the kickback, then hit the center target to close the Zipper Flippers. Lock a ball in the Odin and Wotan saucers, then hit the captive ball to Release The Fire Gods for triple-scroing multiball action. But there's no time to rest, because the spinning playfield disc will catapult your balls in unexpected directions.

''Fireball'' was the first pinball machine to use a spinning disc in the playfield, which was advertised as a "whirlwind spinner". Its stunning artwork, uncomplicated rules, and nonstop action captivated players, making it one of the iconic electro-mechanical pinballs of TheSeventies. It was remade and re-released several times, including an InNameOnly home version in 1976, a sequel (''Fireball II'') in 1981, and a remake (''Fireball Classic'') in 1985.
