Game Play
You use a spinning controller to move a rolling cannon left and right atop a teeter totter, shooting at little monsters above. The teeter totter sits on a barrel of TNT, which is connected to detonators on either side of the screen. If the teeter totter falls too far to either side, the TNT explodes and you lose a life. The monsters begin dropping down towards you if they hit you, you also lose a life. If you fail to shoot them, they hook into the teeter toter, weighing it down (and increasing the chance that the TNT will explode).
Occasionally, starting at Level 2, a little flashing box appears floating on the playfield. If you shoot it, you instantly advance to the next level.

Cabinet Information
Teeter Torture is a game that has rather mysterious origins. Only a single cabinet has even been found for it (fortunately it has been making regular appearances at the California Extreme show for a number of years). For years there was even confusion as to whether it was an Exidy-produced prototype or some bootleg running on the Exidy hardware.
