    Flippers (2), Pop bumpers (2), Slingshots (2), 5-bank drop targets (2), Kick-out hole (1), Spinning target (1), Standup target (1), Right outlane ball return gate. Should the upper drop target bank happen to reset while the ball is in the large lane above it, to prevent the ball from being trapped against the back side of the drop targets, as the ball rolls back down that lane it crosses a round rollover switch which drops the one drop target in its path, allowing the ball to reenter the field of play.
    ipdb.notes
    This was a custom-made game for the Hollywood movie "Tilt". The original backglass was lost and a second one (the current one) was created using the original artwork. The backglass and playfield are original creations while the cabinet was reused from a game having a bowling theme (very probably Williams' 1975 'Triple Strike'). Design by: Michael Sehnert Cabinet art by: movie company artist John O'Connor All other art by: Michael Sehnert, Delana Bettoli In creating this game, Michael "Pinball" Sehnert shipped the playfield art, drawn on paper, to Williams Electronics where the playfield and its plastic light shields were silkscreened. Michael then assembled the playfield components and wired its underside. The backbox did not contain its current solid state components until 2010. During the filming of the 1979 movie, Michael was positioned behind a wall behind the backbox, hidden from view, where he remotely operated with wires the LED score displays, in concert with the playing of the game during filming. The bottom of the lower cabinet did not exist, allowing a film camera to shoot from underneath to show the playfield switching with added special effects, although those shots were not included in the movie.
