ABOUT

Convertible to add-a-ball operation. An article in Cash Box dated Feb-1-1975 page 41 announced delivery of this game to distributors. A 4-player version of this game is Bally's 1974 'Boomerang' but with different artwork. Serial #1074 of Flicker was converted to a solid state prototype by Dave Nutting Associates for Bally, see Bally's 1974 'Flicker'.

Center spinner all day long. Can be shot from either flipper.

If the spinner strategy isn't working, shoot the captive balls or the circular lanes back up to the top to advance bonus.

Shooting spinner can be lucrative but dangerous. Clean shots to both captive balls is my preferred strategy. ABCD awards double bonus.
