Wayne Neyens and Roy Parker again teamed up to create this pretty late-‘50s pin with
an animated backglass. 950 units were made. The playfield has two gobble holes, which
award 100,000 points for each rollover completed. If all six rollovers are made, a replay
is awarded and the gobble holes are special holes. The main feature of the game is
advancing the lightning ball backglass spelling. Each time you make the three colors on
the playfield via rebound rubber or rollovers, the unit advances one step. If you are skillful
enough to complete the lightning ball spellout, a replay is awarded, and each time you
make the three colors to advance the letter, another replay is added. It’s not an easy task
to complete. There’s always beating the game by scoring or matching. This game was
somewhat retro as it has backglass light scoring, since Gottlieb already used reel scoring.
