ipdb.notes
IPDB Video Game disguised as a pinball machine. First video pinball, with real flipper buttons, ball shooter and pinball cabinet. The flipper button switches are optical controls - a lamp and a photocell are separated by a sliding part with a hole in it: flipper travel depends on how much the flipper button is pressed. The flippers are actually paddles moving left and right in the same manner as traditional video games of the period. Game uses Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) circuitry and has no CPU or memory. The name of this game should not be confused with Chicago Coin's 1970 'Big Flipper'. The playfield layout (not the overlay) is similar to the one on Model Racing's 'UFO'. used
