Gottlieb did a good job on this one.
Several cool features, the cannon on the back glass and the "dreaded" gobble holes.
Extra balls awarded for hitting the roto target and scoring values.
2 flashing bumpers are way cool.
Ahead of its time in 1961!

I usually don't like games with gobble holes, this one is an exception.

The Pros:
Great action in the top of the PF in the pops and while the space between the flippers isn't that big, the outlanes and the gobble holes make up for lost ball time right quick. The BG animation is solid and lets you know, you earned an extra ball. Roto-Targets are way sweet and the action side to side keeps it spinning. Is the hole worth losing your ball into when it's lit? The art package (esp the BG) is righteous! Nudging skills are required to hit all 5 lanes at the top and you have to ask yourself... is hitting that roto-target worth the risk of the gobble holes to the side?

The Cons:
Gobble holes still make me wish I could play longer. The PF is split in half and feels like it. Get that ball up into the pops if you can.

The Takeaway:
Wayne Neyens made a player with this design. Fine one (I found mine at the PHof) and play a game or 17!

Update:
Collecting the 1-5 lights on this table, tough! The BG animation is a pinball cannonball, perfect. The vertical 10 point rubbers on the side of the pf keep the roto target moving. The gobble hole is lit for 300 points... can you accurately shoot past the roll over that switches the red and yellow gobble hole AND drop it in the gobble hole? So, do you go for it?
