IPDB Glass measures approximately 28 1/2 inches by 25 1/2 inches. Corner of glass shows manufacturer, copyright year, and part number PT #15A-1-152. Previously unconfirmed information from a pinball newsgroup archive indicated that this game existed only in prototype form, of which two examples were seen at the factory. Cindi Knox was employed in Games Development (Market Research) during the time of this game. She references the two games at the factory: "Whiteboard only. This game was incredibly fun to play. People in Games Development (Mechanical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Software Engineering, Art, Market Research) pounded this thing constantly. Alas, it never saw the light of day. Both machines were at Stern/Url at 700 Chase Ave in Elk Grove in the year or so before the company closed." used
ipdb.notable_features
IPDB Drop targets (4), each with secondary targets behind them. Multi-ball (2). Dual ball game. No plunger: both balls were fired after a pressing button where the plunger would have been. One ball was fired from each side in arcs that took them to the middle of the playfield. A center downward ramp took the ball to the bottom of a corkscrew. The ball traveled up the corkscrew to a mechanical gate that alternated between rolling the ball down a left or right ramp. A kicker then took the ball to a set of three lanes at the top of the playfield on the same side (there were two such sets of lanes). used
