Pinball enthusiasts consider ''Evel Knievel'' a hallmark game of TheSeventies, a table that perfectly captures both the cultural and gaming atmosphere of the era. The game itself doesn't present any innovative new ideas, but simply offers enough shots and challenges to keep things interesting for all players. Gaming historians will note that ''Evel Knievel'' was the hottest ArcadeGame of 1978, only to be knocked off its perch by a strange new thing called ''VideoGame/SpaceInvaders''.
