    We asked designer Wayne Neyens in 2009 if he had any pictures or remembrances of this game. He replied:There never was a picture taken of Hi Boy that I know of. All I remember is that we built one game complete with a set of silk screens, etc. We shipped it out somewhere and that is the last that I remember. In 2014, we asked Wayne if this game really was a 6-player game with flippers and bumpers, or was it a bowling game? He replied:Hi Boy was a six player pinball machine, I must have been out of my head. As I recall one game was made, it was a standard game, score reels, flippers etc. It was a beast to say the least. I am not sure we shipped it out or not, but I am fairly sure there was only one. The circuit for that game was something else, believe me. I don't remember the play board layout but it would have the standard layout of that era.
