Gottlieb released Devil's Dare in August 1982 as the first in their
System 80A Series, and introducing enhanced U2 and U3 ROM memory chips
offering improved bookkeeping and self-test capabilities, new 7-digit
displays, and more coin/credit combinations. The System 80A U2 and U3
ROMs were now socketed on the CPU board, making for easy exchanges.
Gottlieb however did nothing to rectify the inherent design faults of the
earlier System 80 power supply and driver boards for the System 80A
games.
Devil's Dare was designed by Tom Sczfransky (his only pinball according
to the IPD), and features the devilish artwork of Doug Watson (he of BK,
BK2K, T2, IJ, F-14 fame) and David Moore, in their only pin
collaboration. The playfield features 3 pop bumpers, 2 banks of 4 and 2
banks of 2 spot targets, 2 banks of 5 and 1 bank of 3 drop-targets, 2
spinning targets, 1 roll-under, 6 kicking rubbers, ball-saver in left
outlane, Captive "Pit" and "Cave", 3 flippers (third is at the top of the
playfield). The gameplay features 2 and 3 ball multi-ball, and
"Multi-mode" - an extra round of multi-ball awarded for scoring 50'000 or
70'000 points during 2 or 3-ball multi-ball.
Devil's Dare had the sound/speech board fitted, however it seems that
like Black Hole, many games (particularly exported games) had the sound
only board. The sound only version unfortunately makes cheesy and quite
annoying sounds like a "slot-machine", whilst the devilish commands given
by a talker are:
*BALL SAVE - when Ball Save is initiated.
*SHOOT SPOT TARGETS - at random after 3 targets of either bank have
been lit.
*YOU"RE CLOSE - at random after 40'000 or 60'000 points have been
scored on the multi-mode bonus display.
*MULTI-MODE ACHIEVED - after Multi-mode has been earned.
*SHOOT CAPTIVE CAVE - at random after its lamp is lip or after the
outside return has been activated.
*SHOOT CAPTIVE PIT - at random after its lamp is lit.
*FIRE - when a ball is released to the shooter.
Gottlieb produced 3'832 Devil's Dare pins but, due to the high percentage
that were exported, it is considered to be something of a rarity in the
USA.

The Devil Rules!
------------------
GAME OBJECTIVES: Ah yes, that's a good question and I haven't yet had
much chance to work out the answer yet! Anyway hitting the drop and spot
targets all over the playfield seems to be fairly crucial, followed by
loading balls into the "Captive Pit" and "Captive Cave" for multi-ball.
Naturally when you get round to it, keeping multi-ball going for as long
as possible and hitting spot and drop targets are a good idea!

BONUS
Regular bonus accumulated during play is shown on the bonus display. When
the ball drains, the player receives the bonus x multiplier.
SPECIAL
Completing the top 4 red spot targets twice lights the red Special lamp
in the right outlane.
EXTRA BALL
Completing the 4 red spot targets, right centre of the playfield, once
(3-ball play) or twice (5-ball play) lights the pink Extra Ball lamp in
the entrance to the central island, and making the rollunder gate at its
exit awards the Extra Ball
BALL SAVE
Ball Save is enabled by:
-completing the top spot target sequence twice
-completing any drop target bank
-completing the 4 red spot targets, right center of the playfield,
once (3-ball play) or twice (5-ball play)
MULTI-BALL
Completing the centre drop target bank lights the Captive Cave for
capture. Completing the left drop target bank lights the Captive Pit for
capture, after a ball has been captured in the Captive Cave. After a ball
has been captured in the Captive Pit, the third ball hitting any switch
releases the 2 captive balls for 3-ball multi-ball play.
After capturing a ball in the Captive Cave due to any one of the
multi-ball return lanes, hitting any switch releases the ball for 2-ball
multi-ball play.
During multi-ball play, the multi-mode bonus display starts to
accumulate points at the rate 1000x the number of balls in play whilst at
least 2 balls are in play on the drop targets and red spot targets (2000
if 2-ball and 3000 if 3-ball).
At the end of multi-ball play, the player receives the bonus x
multiplier and if the multi-mode level has not been reached the player
receives the 6th player score times 1x.
MULTI-MODE
If the multi-mode levels are reached (50'000 for 2-ball and 70'000 for
3-ball) then the player receives 2- or 3-ball multi-ball for a period of
time based on the 6th player display value.
During play in multi-mode, the 6th player display decrements at a
slower rate when more balls are in play. As balls are lost, the display
decrements faster. As the display decrements, the player receives these
decremental units as score.
When the multi-ball bonus reaches zero, the playfield goes dead and
waits for the balls to drain. At this time the ball is over and player
advances unless the player shooting had previously won an Extra Ball, in
which case he shoots again.
MULTIPLIERS
Completing the 3 drop target bank and either of the 5 drop target banks
awards the 2x multiplier.
Completing the 3 and both 5 drop target banks awards the 3x multiplier.
