not sure if I can post here.
The 2 designers were Art Meyers and Dixie Reinhart. My dad was distantly involved, and set them up with the gig. Art was a sculptor tthat specialized in bronze wildlife sculptures, and Dixie was an engineer that worked on the gloves thet went on the spaceuit that went to the moon, and also "flexor" brand ski gloves, and was a professional clown, and a very odd and interesting genius. https://www.aspentimes.com/news/dixie-rinehart/

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for the history! Dixie sounds like a heck of a guy to know - did
you personally, or just hear through your dad?

You might want to send this info to ipdb.org for more history for that
most unusual game.

Thanks,

John :-#)#

I think it's right up there with Chicago Coin's Hi-Score Pool as one of the dopiest ideas ever in the history of pinball. Why play it with so many other great options out there... makes no sense whatsoever.
