- IPDB Pictures of the game show a large pin table estimated at 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. The wood cabinet has high walls and no playfield glass. The wood playfield rises midpoint between the players and has a small, dark and round object at the center of its crest (we could not identify in the pictures that we saw if it is stationary or if it spins) to block direct shots from one end of the playfield from reaching the opponent's flipper gap at the other end and the goal behind it. There are no posts, targets, slingshots, or pop bumpers; nothing electrical. The coin mechanism serves the ball to a nearby opening similar to the cue ball return on a billiard table. The player positioned at the coin door end of the cabinet is the Red Player (red flippers) and plays against the Green Player (dark green flippers), manually placing the ball on a metal habitrail mounted on the top inside of the cabinet to allow the ball to be delivered to center playfield. The flippers appear to be 7 to 8 inches long and are controlled by eight large heavy-duty metal stick-shift controls, each having a round black ball as its hand grip. Two of them are mounted on top of each corner of the cabinet. These stick-shifters appear to allow separate operation of the applicable front and rear flippers for each player, but this is unconfirmed by us. Each player tracks Goals Scored by moving a marker along a numbered scale on the cabinet's top edge, numbered 1 to 9. The cabinet and playfield are painted yellow while the cabinet end facing the Red Player is painted red, and we presume the other end is painted green. The side of the cabinet that was in view appeared to be painted black and, as best we can discern, had the words FLIPP SHOOT THE NEW MECHANIC SKIL FULL GAME. There was no cigarette ashtray mounted anywhere on the cabinet top. This game is very similar but not identical to FRANGAL-AIR Industrie's 'Tagada'. If you own this game or know someone who does, please contact us. used

- IPDB Flippers (8). Flippers are operated by stick-shift controls. 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. used
