- ipdb.notes
- This fully functional whitewood game was one of many prototypes designed and built by John Trudeau that, for one reason or another, did not get placed into production. This playfield ultimately got stripped and no longer exists.
John shares some comments with us about this game:My first attempt at a real operational game. I tried to get everything I could into this effort, a two level game, a large moving section of ball guides (to the left) and a vertical loop (up the center).
That is a kicking target [to the right of the right rollunder spinner]. And there is another on the LH side, above the drop target bank. One stand-up target in the center and three more in the upper LH area (still on the main playfield). There is a kick-out hole at the LH rear of the main playfield too (where all the lights are). There is also a flipper in that area (RH flipper). When the ball was captured here, a large gate would swing in front of this area (from the left side) and make the same playfield shot (from the bottom flippers) now go to a ball kicker on the LH side (which shot the ball back up to the top playfield). You can see the "nose" of this gate sticking out from under a painted area of the plastics, just above and left of two lit orange inserts.
There is another kick-out hole to the left of the main flippers which also could have been fed by a pinball "catch" and reverse flow up the LH return lane. I believe it kicked the ball back to the RH slingshot area.
