As a pinball table, ''Centaur'' is held in high regards by many players, who rank it one of the best Bally tables ever made. The ruleset is deep but not too complex, with quick action and lots of different shots to go for. Subtle wrinkles in the rules and design reward expert players, such as the outlane gates that can save a drained ball with a good nudge, or the ability to prolong multiball (or even start it early) by spelling ORBS in order.
''Centaur'' was only a modest success for Bally, selling around 3,700 tables, but there was enough demand that the company released ''Centaur II'' in 1985. Despite the name change, the game was the same, except for the cabinet[[note]]it used the same modernized design by Creator/DennisNordman, as seen on ''[[Pinball/MrAndMrsPacManPinball Mr. & Mrs. Pac-Man Pinball]]''[[/note]] and some internal changes.

The first and most defining aspect of ''Centaur'' is its striking visual design, with its predominantly black and white art punctuated by bursts of red and amber. The backglass is dominated by the game's Centaur, a hulking half-man half-motorcycle creature carrying a leather-clad punk woman on his back. Between the artwork and dark theme, reverberating background, and MachineMonotone voice, this is a hauntingly memorable table, reminiscent of HeavyMetal or CyberPunk.
