- IPDB 'Black Hole' was considered a high-maintenance game when released and wasn't popular with operators as a result. The multiball is one of the hardest around to get but rewarding when you do as it is possible to have 3 balls going in total on two different levels. Speech generated by a Votrax SC-01. A Hollywood movie "The Black Hole" came out in 1979. Click here for an interesting article with photographs about the origins and prototypes for Black Hole. used
