- IPDB Pictures of the game (not shown here) show a large pin table estimated at 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. The wood cabinet has high walls and no playfield glass. The wood playfield rises midpoint between the players and has a vertical-axis spinner at the center of its crest to block direct shots from one end of the playfield from reaching the opponent's flipper gap at the other end and the goal behind it. There are no posts, targets, slingshots, or pop bumpers; nothing electrical. The coin mechanism accepts 2 francs per game and serves the ball to a nearby opening similar to the cue ball return on a billiard table. The player positioned at the coin door end of the cabinet is the Red Player (red flippers) and plays against the Green Player (dark green flippers), manually placing the ball on a metal habitrail mounted on the top inside of the cabinet to allow the ball to be delivered to center playfield. The flippers appear to be 6 to 7 inches long and are controlled by four large heavy-duty metal T-shaped split-shifter controls, one mounted on top of each corner of the cabinet. Each split-shifter appears to allow separate operation of the applicable front and rear flippers for each player, but this is unconfirmed by us. Each player tracks Goals Scored by moving a marker along a numbered scale on the cabinet's top edge, numbered 1 to 9. The cabinet and playfield are painted yellow while the cabinet end facing the Red Player is painted red and the other end is painted green. The side of the cabinet that was in view appeared to be painted dark red and had the name TAGADA in large light blue letters. This name also appears on a round applique surrounding the center playfield spinner. A cigarette ashtray is mounted on the cabinet top in front of each player. Below the coin mechanism, mounted to the outside of the cabinet near its bottom corner, is the Manufacturer Plate. For one of these games, we read the following information: TAGADA Modele Depose France I.N.P.I - Geneve O.M.P.I. No. de SERIE: 6439 Fabrication: FRANGAL-AIR Industrie 59310 Landas Tel: 20.34.42.20 Today, FRANGAL AIR (no hyphen) is still located in Landas and they build industrial refrigeration systems. They are described as an LLC created December 9, 1980. This game is very similar but not identical to Unknown Manufacturer's 'Flipp Shoot'. If you own this game or know someone who does, please contact us. used
