Quoted from BallyTim:Whenever I think ugly, and it's been mentioned, but yes, William's Flash. Backglass AND playfield.
I know a LOT of guys love it, I'm guessin' for the game play, but I could never look at it on a daily basis in my collection.
Seems a LOT of William's games teetered on the fugly side.
I'll see your Flash, and Raise you a Ro Go
Quoted from Diospinball:It was really bad. But, I think it was made as a joke or kind of a protest.
Don't have any insight. But, I could imagine that with the state of the industry, the working conditions and morale might have been pretty low.
I know if I thought I was losing my job, I might do something weird and crazy like that just to get a rise out of people.
If you never have, listen to episode #42 of the Topcast podcast, where Clay interviews Python Anghelo. It's like watching a train wreck.... You just can't turn away. He has a lot to say about Zingy Bingy..... The jist of which being that it was the best machine ever made.
RIP, you crazy mother$&#*er.
Gotta say.... Mad respect for both Data East and Gottlieb.... While it may not have aged well, they both had a way of producing translites and playfields that perfectly captured the style of the 80s. Too bad all the hair-band pins didn't start getting produced until this century. Gameplay probably would have sucked, but the art would have been epic.
