ipdb.notes
IPDB 'A.G. Football' is the 1992 export version of the 1991 USA game 'A.G. Soccer-Ball'. Its playfield and cabinet depict the game of European football, also called futbol, but known in the USA as soccer. This 2-player export flipper game is not to be confused by name with the 1-player 1992 flipperless redemption game 'U.S.A. Football' from this same manufacturer and which used the same unique head-to-head cabinet style but which has a very different playfield layout and an American football theme on its playfield and cabinet. The flyer shown here is printed with the correct export name of 'A.G. Football' but inexplicably shows a game with cabinet and playfield aprons having the name 'Soccer-Ball' on them, an image that appeared earlier on the flyer for that 1991 USA game 'A.G. Soccer-Ball' and likely was a sample version of the USA game. The manufacturer certainly knew the playfields of these two games were the same (although the name on the cabinet and aprons of course would be different) but issued the flyer that way. The game pictured here is located in Europe and has the cabinet and playfield aprons clearly marked "A.G. Football". Its playfield and cabinet depict the game of European football (futbol). ROMs for this game are in the Files Section. Reportedly, there are at least two versions of ROMs: R07U (July 1992) and R18U (April 1993). We do not know which version we have (no README.TXT) other than they are labeled 1992. used
ipdb.notable_features
IPDB Flippers (6), Standup targets (8), Ball kickers (6), Spinning targets (4), 3-bank drop targets (2), Kick-out holes (2), Up-posts (2) between flippers. Multiball. No pop bumpers, slingshots, or outlanes. Game plays itself in Attract Mode. This is a head-to-head game where two players at opposite ends of the playfield compete in simultaneous play. Each player has flipper buttons which control only those flippers facing the opponent. This game has patented "switch-flippers". Each flipper has a wireform switch attached to it which closes when the ball hits the flipper. The switch performs different functions for single-player versus head-to-head games. During head-to-head games, the switches are used to instruct the "Designated Scoring" system to award all playfield scoring to the player whose flipper last touched the ball. During single-player games, the switches are made active only on the opponent's flippers, and a ball striking those flippers causes them to energize and "Auto-flip" the ball back towards the player. used
