Historical Notes

Unlike other Gottlieb games of this period, 'Tropic Isle' has no option for 3-ball play. Wayne Neyens tell us that the name of this game while it was being engineered was 'Monkey Shines' but David Gottlieb had the name changed. See the image in this listing marked "Engineering Prototype".
