Product Overview
This tabletop Alley-Ball game recreates the classic arcade Alley Roller experience with a 3-foot long track, LED scoreboard, and authentic arcade sound effects. Players roll balls down the alley, up the ramp, and into target holes with different point values. The game offers two play styles: roll by hand in classic arcade fashion, or flip to spring-powered ball launching. Single player and 2-player modes both use a 60-second countdown timer displayed on the LED scoreboard.
- Giant 3-foot (95cm) track gives balls the momentum needed to reach the scoring ramps
- Two play options let players choose between hand-rolling balls arcade-style or using the spring-powered launcher
- Large LED scoreboard tracks points and counts down the 60-second challenge
- Arcade sound effects add to the competitive atmosphere during solo practice or head-to-head matches
- Runs on 3 AAA batteries (not included)
