    ipdb.notes
    Selectable as Novelty or Replay. The backglass incorrectly uses an apostrophe in the manufacturer�s name. Compare the elevated wireform track on this game to the habitrails of modern Solid State games. The manufacturer�s original playfield drawing (not shown here) is dated 3/17/47 and signed with initials HEW. It also indicates the original game name was 'Stormy II' which is puzzling because Stormy did not appear until several games later. Williams made a similar game the same month, Williams' 1947 'Tornado'.
