Cirqus Voltaire - The Pinball
Along with any good story, the Cirqus Voltaire "Troupe" were among the best of bagatelle players in France.
Many a night was illuminated with wild games against French Soldiers and their Captains. Today this spirit
will continue in our new pinball table as you try to JOIN the Cirqus Voltaire.
As the player you enter the great CfRQUS THEATRE in the heart of Paris and are requested to perform
before the audience and mysterious judges. Your first SKILL task is to charge the Ringmaster's Ring. This
will guide you to the place where the Cirqus is performing.
Once there you have nothing to keep you from discovering the splendor and thrill of the Cirqus. For you the
player, the RINGMASTER is the key and challenging him to speak and reign over the Cirqus is your best
hope. Amidst the three RINGS are the Cirqus Marvels to be found and accomplished.
The pinball will find
the Menagerie, Juggler, High Voltage High Wire, The Crank, Amazing Acrobats, Boom Balloons and of
course the BallyHoo Sideshow.
