- Dan Gutchess obtained this glass in 2002 from a man with a retail arcade store in the Chicago area. The man said he obtained the game from an ex-Williams employee.
Dan recalls the following information from talking with that man:
There was only one made. The playfield was basically not totally finished and printed. He said it was in a Bally pinball cabinet, metal legs, standard ball, the flipper buttons were on the sides. They didn't think the software was ever finished because the CPU would lock up a lot. You plunged the ball and the ball rolled down to the sling that you controlled right and left with the buttons. Kind of like the video game Breakout in pinball form. You tried to sling the ball up the playfield to hit targets for points. (I don't know the shape or components contained in the sling. He said it had a rubber around it so I pictured in my mind a slingshot shape.) I distinctly remember him saying "targets". I don't know if the targets were at the top or placed around the middle. I don't know if it had pop bumpers. He said since the game never would work right, he trashed the playfield and boards and kept only the glass.
No clue on the year.
This description is consistent with an unfinished prototype.
