A silly name, not very impressive to look at, only single-player (gasp), no dummy zero in the "ones" scoring position. A simple but enjoyable playing surface, though. Key features are channels down both sides and a row of four kicker holes across the center. The main object is to light up all four lights in a column below each hole, by hitting various targets. As lights come on, hole values increase. All four in column causes the hole to occasionally light up for a special (replay). Lighting all sixteen is a rare thrill, as one of the holes is always then lit (liberal settings). One of the nice things about the machine was that most (all?) features accumulate over an entire game. Foo on the newer machines that virtually reset every time you slurp one ball.
