This is the first machine I bought in 1996 from Rick Caviglia/Steve Charland of the Vintage Amusement Co. It is fast and furious as are most Williams machines. It has add a ball specials with replays for high scores. There is a Tic Tac Toe grid in the center with a moving arrow. Hitting the center target spots the lit # and lining up 3 in any way lites the side kickout saucers for special plus 5000 and the center target for 5000 points. If you collect the special, it resets, but if you hit the center target it doesn’t so you can keep hitting that and rack up a high score. It also has top and upper side lanes spelling out “special”. Going thru all lanes lites the lower side lanes for special and gives you an extra ball and 5000 points, resetting the lanes. Two top targets lite the Bumpers for higher value. One little known feature is the “Four Corners Special”. If you spot all four corner #’s on the grid without lighting the center it will give you two extra balls or two free games depending on how it is set by the operator. Still one of my favorite games.
