Cool game! Am am wondering if this is ever used for tournaments, or is the skill shot scoring too unbalanced?
PAPA has used this game on several occasions without any major scoring issues.
Some really cool features on this table!
I have the American version of 4 million bc and the right flipper works but flutters a little, Also I can’t get the ball all the way up the skill shot. There seems to be enough power in the plunger but it won’t go all the way up the ramp. Three bumpers up top work well lower one seems like it needs to be a little more responsive. Question: Is there a repair manual for this machine? And where is a good place to get parts?
Repair manual can be found on the ipdb page.

There’s a number of good parts suppliers, but it depends which parts you need. Check bayareaamusements or pinball resource. A google search should help locate the exact addresses.
