Quoted from GLSP3022:Possibly any Gottlieb 80b title. Very few traditional placements.
Or really any 40s or 50s era Gottlieb. When traditional meant mostly all different.
Including one of my favorites-Frontiersman.
Quoted from Hi-Fi:Space Mission has kickers instead of slingshots.
Skill Pool has kickers as well as slingshots.

Quoted from dmbjunky:How does aiming work on something like that? Do you use the left flipper to shoot towards the right and vice-versa? Is it tough to aim period?
Being impulse flippers, you have to time your shot, and time it well.
Aiming is no different than any other flipper. Calculate the geometry of where you want the ball to go, and the trajectory of the ball as it comes in. Devide that by pi, then calculate the incoming speed and the distance it must travel and take your shot.
