Williams/Bally made this game in February of 1985.
Due to the popularity of the 1972 Fireball which was an
electro-mechanical game, they decided to do a remake that consisted of
2,000 games. This version does not use the "zipper" flippers as
found in the 1972 game, but it's still a very popular game with a unique
layout such as no outlanes, a 2 or 3 ball multi-ball, and a challenging
two-way skill
shot for bonus points. The game features 2 flippers, 3 pop bumpers, 3
mushroom bumpers, 2 captive ball kick-out holes, a messenger ball, a
spinning disc in the lower center of the playfield, a two-way ramp skill
shot, a left outlane kick-back, and either 2 or 3 ball multi-ball. The
game was designed by George Christian with artwork by Doug Watson.
