The game is as fun and lighthearted as the Globetrotters; spell GLOBE by knocking the four inline drop targets in the right lane, or take a Fast Break up the left side and into the upper saucer. Hit all five Globetrotters to advance the Slam Dunk Shot, then slam it in for a 50,000 point special, but don't drain the ball between the left double flippers. The rules are simple enough for beginners, but there's enough challenge to keep things interesting for pros.
