Notable Features
Flippers (4), Pop bumpers (3), Bullseye targets (2), Slingshots (2), Gobble hole (1). There is one flipper at each end of each slingshot. All other flipper-shaped objects on playfield are stationary ball guides. Mechanical backbox animation - two rockets circle the Earth. Each time a rocket ship reaches the moon, a "trip" is scored. A maximum of 19 trips can be scored in this way even though the backglass seems to indicate a higher number could be achieved.
Historical Notes
The backglass carries Gottlieb's famous phrase: Amusement Pinballs, as American as Baseball and Hot Dogs! We previously showed a date for this game of September 2, 1959. The new date is per Gottlieb documentation.
