    ipdb.notes
    Unlike other Bally electronic pinball games, their documentation for this game shows the model number only as 1219, not 1219-E. According to Pinball Memories, Norm Clark was head of design at Bally when this game was made and insisted that it have the animated captive ball feature. This feature had appeared earlier on Williams' 1971 'Doodle Bug', a game he designed.
