I played this as a kid in the game room at Woodloch Pines in the Poconos. The second play field blew my mind, because I thought it was just decoration at first. But when the magnet comes down and picks up the ball to put you in the upper play field - what an incredible moment of wonder and excitement that I'll never forget. Watching this video was great especially because I forgot all about the SOUNDS of the game, which now I'm noticing are incredible. The fact that the music changes and gets more suspenseful when you get to the upper playfield is such an amazing touch. Totally forgot about the announcer and the incredible "BANZAAAIIII!" One day, if I ever make a lot of money, I would love to own this game. Thanks for this video!
Really cool game, I doubt I'll ever get a chance to play one. I bet arcade operators weren't too cool with it seeing as I'm sure it was more expensive than your usual pinball machine and it's probably a nightmare to maintain and repair the way it was made.
+Renaud Dorval Dave has a Big Guns right next to the Banzai Run in his lineup. He sold off almost all of his video games to make more room for pins. He's planning on a Williams Taxi next.
I wish it was valued as much as Big Guns Big Guns I have, great game, some people that don't own it would disagree however I would even more so like to own a Banzai Run.

have you played it yet there's one in smyrna tennessee
Terrifying how fast that upper table plays
You might not have known, but you can trap the ball as the ball ejects towards the very top flipper.
Probably my favorite Williams with Big Guns
