    I realize that I'm breaking the rules but I have a '49 K. C. Jones that's a lot of fun. It even has a random ball-save down the middle. Keeper.

    Just before that I owned a '53 Quintette which has a lot of pretty girls and several goals to shoot for. The 5 gobble holes were difficult to avoid. Tough game.

    I also owned a '53 Guys Dolls and the gameplay stunk. Ridiculous "Six High Powered Pop-up Posts". Hated it.

    Admittedly, I haven't had a great deal of exposure to woodrails but I have to own one.

    Crap. I forgot that I have a '58 Rocket Ship as well. Probably because I intend to sell/trade it.

    Great looking game but it plays like an operator's dream instead of home-use fun, imho. The roto-target is an evil lure for SDTM shots that should just be avoided, as well as the gobble holes. So this limits gameplay to the upper half.

    Having to spell R-O-C-K-E-T-S-H-I-P for Special on the backglass that carries over from game-to-game is a 'one-more-try!' lure. This would make a great location game.

    I wired in a bulb so the 'Game Over' actually lights, originally omitted from the factory.
