    ipdb.notable_features
    Flippers (4), Slingshots (2), Kick-out holes (3), Standup targets (3), 3-bank drop targets (3), 4-bank drop targets (1), Captive ball (1), Electromagnet (1), Split-level playfield, Magna-Save. No pop bumpers. The Solar Gun feature is a captive ball that is propelled repeatedly across a scoring switch by a pulsed electromagnet under the playfield for the duration of a timed interval.
    ipdb.notes
    The Solar Gun feature is similar to the Doodle Bug feature used earlier on Williams' 1970 'Dipsy Doodle', Williams' 1971 'Doodle Bug', and Williams' 1971 'Love Bug'. Compare the playfield to the single-level playfield of Williams' 1986 'Grand Lizard'. The light shield on the playfield next to the upper right flipper artfully disguises the words JEANINE LOVES CONSTANTINO and also CONNIE LOVES STINKER. Artist Connie Mitchell told us that "Stinker" was a loving nickname for his daughter, Lauren, three years old at the time.
