Found the play very difficult to get into. Wide spacing on the flippers makes it particularly tough to get anything going. First game with spinners but not the best placement. Sold this snooze fest to make room for more fun games.

Weirdly compelling, but objectively a very dated game. Half the balls that you launch you don’t even get to swing at. The fact that it’s electromechanical pushes the fun factor.

Decent EM! It is fun for its time,

Love this ol game

This table's artwork is fantastic. Roy Parker really knocked this one out of the park.

Gameplay-wise, the goal of the game is to light all 4 pop bumpers by hitting their respective colored targets. Easier said than done. Above the spinners, you'll have to rely on careful nudging, and below the spinners, you'll have to rely on careful aiming. Problem is, the dang flipper gap is miles wide, and more often than not, the ball goes straight down the middle. Playing alone, the game is a bit of a snooze fest, but when playing against someone, the added competition really kicks things up--especially when a game like this relies heavily on nudging, and a tilt only disqualifies the one player who tilted the entire game.

Personally, I like it for it's artwork and timeless style. There's definitely better playing games out there, but this one certainly isn't a wasted effort.

Swing along is a fantastic looking Gottliebtable from the early 60's

The Pros:
Supposedly the first game with spinners. Not just one, or two, but three (yes, count them... three spinners HA-HA-HA-HA-Haaaaa... like The Count from Sesame Street) spinners, each with their own artwork!!! The entire art package on this game is solid, especially on the PF. Roy Parker has rightfully earned the respect and favor of many pinheads, and this game is one of the reasons why. Standups and rollovers light the game's features and there is great action in the pops.

The Cons:
The flippers are too wide. Yep. Half the balls launched into play never touch the flippers. Who needs gobble holes with a flipper/outlane layout like this one. Too much luck, not enough game. This game really should be a single player game so the PF features could carry from ball to ball. Ripping the spinners should be so much fun... but this game is not really going to let you do anything with ball control down there. Reflex shots (when you get them) are all you are going to have given to you. Once the ball passes the spinners and the bumper island in the middle of the PF... there's a good chance your ball is on the way to the outhole ASAP! Wayne Neyens doesn't make too many poor playing games, but this happens to be one of them.

The Takeaway:
A nice looking package, but even with fresh rubbers, a waxed pf and high tapped solenoids, this game isn't a player.
