I loved this game, too bad the flippers weren't powerful to actually handle the 13 balls and in majority of the cases the 13 ball multiball turned into 3-6 ball multiball in seconds :) I have lots of fond memories of this one :)
Oh do I ever miss playing this game. A local Chuck E Cheese used to have this game, but then they moved to a different location and chose not to take this game with them. I did happen to find an apollo 13 pinball machine in Appleton, WI, but it was out of service due to a bad circuit board. Boy was I really mad. I haven't played this pinball machine since 2002 and I can't find one anywhere now.
There is a post that rises between the flippers for about 8 seconds but as soon as you raise a flipper you still lose them down the side. I see what you meant about that ball, weird, you don’t often get another chance once they have drained down the side, I had probably looked away, well spotted!! Matt.

I had to repair an Apollo 13 twice! I played a lot on it and in my opinion is your opinion the right one! (Apollo is the best Sega!)

Yes, you do drain a lot of the balls almost instantly in 13-ball, but I've still gotten or lit quite a few super jackpots!

That 13 ball multiball was insane Matt! Love the sounds effects on this pin. First time I've seen it in action, so thanks for posting!

Thanks Larry, its mad isn’t it, totally pointless but great at the same time! Your right, great quality sound as well.

First video of this multiball I've seen yet, pretty cool! Doesn't it have the option to raise something in-between the flippers for a few seconds?
Oh, and you could've saved the ball at 5:41 ;-)
