flippers or an extra pair of flippers, half
way up the playfield . Targets may be
hit by balls propelled by slingshot
kickers or even rebounds. But the
major target -slammers are the 4
flippers; and the double twin flippers, at
bottom and middle of the panel, add
other exciting skill shots to Air Aces
play.

Aces' will start the new year with a
flight into the high altitudes of operator

Billiards makes
Survival cocktail
u.s. Billiards' latest tv cocktail
table features the game "Survival," an
exciting and versatile game that comes
in an all rosewood and black form ica
cabinet, which is built more durably
and designed to be more attractive
than any other cocktail table on the
market, according to Leonard Schnel -
ler, sales manager.
"Survival" allows one to four
players to play against each other or
against the house. If you beat the
house you get one free game. Stu rdy
joystick controls allow hor izontal and
angular, as well as vertical, control of
the p~ddles , Schneller said .
Th e cabinet is bu il t for the coin
machine operator, with service fac ili -
tated by two service doors, along with
a hinged top which can be rotated up
to allow access from above. An ISO-
lated cash box is keyed separately
from service entry doors. An electrical
counter and heavy duty adjustable leg
levelers are standard .
" Demand for this type of equip-
ment IS swelling, and we are confident
that U.S. Bill iards' new release
provides the finest game, along with
the most durable and attractive cabi -
net to fulfill your requirements.
De liveries of this equipment can be
made beginning February 10, 1975.
Please call me and let me know you r
needs," Schnell er said.
Bally Air Aces fly
into pingame horizon
"Drop targets, which sink into the
playfield when hit, are the center of
attraction in Air Aces," commented
Paul Calamari , sales manager of Bally
Manufacturing Corporation , announc-
ing delivery this week of the new
4-player flipper type pinball game.
" First of all," Calamari continued,
"drop targets account for much of the
high scores rung up on Air Aces. Each
drop target knocked down scores 500.
Then an extra 5,000 is added to the
totalizer when all 9 targets drop.
" More important, the drop targets
control important scoring features of
Air Aces. Extra balls are also indirectly
controlled by drop target action .
" Bonus can climb to 20,000 top and
is collected by ball sinking in the
out-hole. But the bonus is doubled if
collected when 'double bonus' is lit and
this, too, is the indirect result of the
drop target hits. ' Double bonus' lights
when ball is shot into top right kickout
hole when lit; and the right hole light,
like the left hole light, lights when
bonus score is at an operator-selected
score or higher. However, the activat-
ing scores for the two kickout hole
lights need not be identical.
" A fascinating factor of drop targets
is that they are normally hit by a flipper
shot , from either the standard bottom
Allied 's Fotsball
ioins video market
Hialeah - Allied Leisure Industries has
just relased FOTSBALL, their newest
electronic game. Fotsball is an elec -
tronic version of the table soccer
games that have been popular in the
last few years.
Fotsball is a two player game, in
which each player has a handle
con trolling six men on the field . After a
goal has been made, the score is
displayed ; however, it is not displayed
while the ball is in motion on the field .
Fotsball is equiped with a serve button
by each player, allowing the player who
lost the last point to serve the next ball.
Fotsball is easy to play, with the
competitive spirit taking the lead,
which makes Fotsball only as difficult
as winning a game from an opponent.
" A service man 's dream ", describes
another aspect of Fotsball. The power
supply is on a sliding tray which
enables service men to view the video
portion of the game while servicing the
electronic or mechanical parts. The
control handle is Allied 's "joystick"
which has proven to be very durable in
other games.
Allied's newest low priced location
piece, Fotsball , may be seen at your
local distributors.
