- Designer John Popadiuk provided us this information:Here are some pics from Tornado, a Wizard of Oz like game. This is a pencil sketch on mylar as we used to do then. At Bally in 1982 we were working with Marvin Glass, a toy-inventing company in Chicago. they brought in 3 game prototypes that were housed in an "environmental cabinet". So I was assigned to Tornado, Greg Kmiec worked on Demolition (like Earthshaker) and the 3rd game I do not recall at this time. All the games had multi-upper levels and were housed in a Pinball 2000 (like) cabinet. My game had a large "cyclone" funnel vacuum-formed ramp that took balls in multiball and then dropped them to the playfield while the storm effects came and strobe light flashed. You can see the spinner I placed under the funnel to spin the balls away and the shot to the right that went up to other levels above this playfield. So very much a "triple-level" pinball with a video game feel.
