ipdb.notes: IPDB According to the Encyclopedia of Pinball Vol 2, problems with this game's test location models caused it to miss it's announced delivery date of Jan-1-1935 and its second date of Feb-5-1935. Instead, it debuted at the 1935 Coin Machine Show in Chicago on February 18-21, 1935. "The Galloping Ghost" was the nickname given to American college and professional football player Harold Edward "Red" Grange (1903-1991), whose skills and contributions to the game of football both on and off the gridiron brought a new height of popularity and respect to the sport at the time. He was named the greatest college football player of all time by ESPN in 2008. This pinball machine was a tribute to Grange, who retired from professional football in 1934, the year this game was made. Also known as "Galloping Ghost No. 77" in honor of Grange's jersey number, this game turned out to be an average moneymaker, disappointing the industry. used
