Help Identify Game, Please!

I saw some Colecovision games on EBay, but the seller does not list the games, only photos. There is a screenshot of this game:

 

 

 

I own 80 games, but cannot place this one.

 

Any idea what the title of this one is??

Hi Bartsfam.

 

The name is: Flipper Slipper from SpectraVideo 1983.

Thank you! I have heard of it, but have never seen a screenshot.

 

It looks kind of like "Break-Out" mixed with "Carnival"?

 

Atari2600.com gives it a so-so review...

Your link do not work Daniel.

 

Moreover, I can see it is Spectron in the picture you have put in as a link.

What the general consensus on a rating for this. A "B" or a "C" game? One review I read said the controls are sluggish and slow to respond.

Depending on your skills in games like Arkanoid, you may find Flipper Slipper too difficult for your taste. The controls are OK when you get used to it. The fast action is annoying sometimes, forcing to just try hitting the ball instead of targeting. Last thing, it's only in the high skill level where the balls change color, and it's a real pain.
