Split Second is a Stern, talking, multi-ball, wide-body game produced in the early 1980's. There are several simultaneous scoring strategies, but they primarily revolve around the 3 sets of drop targets to spell out the words S-P-L-I-T S-E-C-O-N-D. When accomplished, 3 balls come into play which can lead to much higher scoring opportunities. Other switches and targets around the playfield increase the scoring multiplier which greatly increases the score upon loss of the ball in play. Overall, Split Second is a fast, fun, old-style pinball game that never loses it's excitement!
