The voice actually sounds like Paul Frees...recognized in many 60s/70s cartoons (including Boris from Rocky & Bullwinkle) and also the voice of The Ghost Host in Disney's The Haunted Mansion attraction.
I read there were only 3700 of these machines made. The one I played was in the game room in Wilson Lodge at the Oglebay resort (Wheeling, WV) in probably '81 or '82 (I was 11 or 12 y/o). It's great to find this again and see people dedicated to preserving the memory of its existence.

@AlterWagner - I'm not sure whose voice is used in the game, but I was just having fun putting the actor Gary Busey face over centaur because I thought they looked similiar in facial features.
Please help a stupid german boy - my english is not the best: what is he saying at the beginning? First he says "Energize me!" ....when the game starts ge says "Destroy Centaur" (?) ....but in the middle.... ORBS Feature? Seqence....? Chamber?..... these words I can't understand. Thanx! :-)
im still looking for buy one in argneitna only can find 3 centaur no more machine scome to argentina like fathom only survive 3 in this days a very hard to find in this country i thing i need buy one formebay but nobody want shipping is pick up only damn
In 2005 I bought a Centaur1 without the echo board. It brought back many hours full of joy and excitement! Unfortunately I had to sell it due to financial problems last year.

The attract mode says @ 0:25..."Challenge Me!...Orb feature...Sequence feature...Chamber feature!...Guardian feature...Bonus feature!."

@kcmoejoe It's either Tony Jay or someone who does a dead on perfect impression of Tony Jay.

Me again, sry - I forgot to ask: Whose voice is it? (the guy @ 0:15 ) ?? Looks like an actor I know...but I can't remeber his name...
Oh...and the Zahatustra-Theme in the beginning is more than adequate for this pinball machine ^^

This pinball machine is a true classic!
I loved playing it since the mid80's.
In 2005 I bought a Centaur1 without the echo board. It brought back many hours full of joy and excitement! Unfortunately I had to sell it due to financial problems last year.
Thanks for bringing back the good memories,
kcmoejoe! Regards from Germany!
