Flip Flop!

October 19, 2005

A second flag game, Wizard's baby brother with art By Dick White and perhaps some help from his brother, Al. This is a flip the flag with none of the intrigue that Wizard has,i.e. you know what you get, more bonus. With the Wizard flags, they all do different things and since most pinheads have a short memory, they can't remember from one game to the next what each flag does cuz it's only written on the back of the flag and they are too busy playing to read it. Still, this is a fun game with great color and some relatively fast action. I picked this up from Ira in Alameda for $125, one of the best deals I've ever gotten on a pin. I re-keyed and rubbered it, thought about doing some playfield touchup, and instead, went thru some of the sticky mechanisms and it's out for play! I love it when it's this easy! The play is fairly obvious so I won't bore you, read the Flyer. It has that great solid Bally feeling with that "carved in stone" bonus countdown. Set for 3rd and 5th ball double bonus, extra ball lights after 10K bonus. A lot of people remember this one. The one art comment I have...is the horse on the ground having an affair with the cowboy who's got a weird look on his face?
