IPDB This game was never made. Its designer, Jon Norris, told us about it:The playfield was a single level (like all other street level games) with a large window in the center of playfield. I placed a ball pop unit at the bottom of the cabinet that was based on Chicago Coin's 1964 'Criss Cross Pop-Up' (CCPU) from the late 60s. The theme was a TV game show called "Tic Tac Lotto". Like on CCPU, the object was to form "Tic Tac Toes", "Diamond" pattern, or "4 Corners" pattern with the rubber balls. Playfield shots would pop certain balls or multiple balls. When the playfield was lifted, the ball unit stayed at the bottom of cabinet. The game was killed fairly early, but the game did have a production number. It was killed because it was a "Street Level" game and after lackluster sales for the last couple of street level models, the (correct) decision was made to go back to full featured games with ramps. There was either a backglass painting completed on this title or a preliminary drawing. The game was killed right after I saw the painting or drawing. No other art was created for the game as far as I know. The game got pretty far along, with programming started, but never finished. We asked Steve Young what info he had on this project. He replied: 728 looks like it was pretty far along, sample playfield, bill of materials, unique parts are all in the folder. Based on prints, my guess is that there is a full CAD package showing layouts, etc. Also, as the title is written on the review sheets it is "Tic-Tac-Lotto". PO for playfields was issued 12-18-90. Looks like final product review 1-22-91...I see Bob Malvasio requesting cancellation of unique parts 1-25-91.
