    10 balls per play. Ball kickers (5), Habitrails (2). Battery operated. Two kickers are below the playfield. Two kickers in upper playfield lock balls until another ball goes through the top rollover, then kick simultaneously as a light bulb flashes. Balls reaching the very bottom of playfield are kicked upwards until they score. Game advertised as 40 inches long by 21 inches wide. A manufacturer ad, not shown here, provides an idea of game play: Player shoots for 500 kicker pockets at top left and right. The contact trigger, if made, causes these balls to be shot into the center 2,000 pocket as light flashes. Balls that drop in the "Fire" holes drop underneath and then are shot out of the respective tunnel with a flash of light and travel along and elevated runway to high score pockets. Outballs are kicked back with a chance of making 2,000 pocket or others.
