    ipdb.notable_features
    Impulse flipper (1), Pop bumpers (2), Slingshot (1), Kick-out holes (5), Ball kickers (2), Gobble hole (1), Scoring bumper (1). Eight rollover lanes on left side of playfield feed a left-side kicker alley to shoot the ball back to the top of the playfield. Upper playfield ball kicker propels ball onto an elevated habitrail feeding a right-side line of four kick-out holes which series-advance the ball to a gobble hole, returning that ball to the shooter.
    ipdb.notes
    The manufacturer�s original playfield drawing (not shown here) is dated 1/16/54 and has the signed initials HEW. Compare the elevated wireform track on this game to the habitrails of modern solid-state games. In fact, Harry Williams himself reused the same upper playfield wireform design from this game for another game he designed, Stern's 1981 'Freefall'.
