''Big Bang Bar'' was originally created at Creator/CapcomPinball by Rob Morrison with artwork by Stan Fukuoka. When players tried the pre-production tables in field tests and the 1996 Pinball Expo, they were immediately buzzing with excitement over its ribald humor, artwork, and nonstop action, praising it as Capcom's best table ever. Unfortunately, Capcom closed their pinball division soon afterward, leaving only fourteen prototypes made and relegating the game to the footnotes of history...

Welcome to the '''Big Bang Bar''', the rowdiest late-night alien dive in the cosmos! Check your carapice at the door, slither up to a table, and a waitressbeing will be with you shortly. Get into the techno-thumin' tunes and strobing neon lights, and feast your eyes on the gorgeous gyrations of the Tube Dancer in center stage. Or you can Tour the Bar, play some Cosmic Dartz, then try to score a drink award with Ray's Ball Busters. For more excitement, stuff the Loopy Martians until they get Looped In Space, fire up the Babescanner and the Lunapalooza, or just wait for a Multibrawl Multiball to break out. Complete all fourteen tasks for a shot at the Big Bang, and see how much you can ''really'' score.
