There are three cellar holes in the upper half of the playfield. They lead to three VUKs below the playfield that will kick the ball up to the left habitrail or to either of the two cannons on top of the slingshots. To reduce the time it would take for a ball to fall into a cellar hole, roll down under the playfield to a VUK, and resurface back into play, a patented below-the-playfield multiple ball delivery system was developed. In this system, other balls are already positioned below the playfield, one in each of the three VUKs. As soon as the playfield ball falls into a cellar hole, the corresponding VUK kicks its ball into play. The playfield ball then rolls down to remain in the newly-vacated VUK. Game play is continuous, and time has been saved.

Patent #5,350,174 [BELOW THE PLAYFIELD BALL DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR A PINBALL GAME] filed October 28, 1993. Granted September 27, 1994 to Ritchie et al. Assignee is Williams Electronic Games, Inc.

Toys:

Two ball-firing cannons are on top of the slingshot bumpers. The Borg ship fires the locked ball at the flippers at the start of multiball.

Notes:

This game was part of Williams/Midway’s “SuperPin” line of widebody games.

Artist Greg Freres said at Chicago Expo 2017 that examples of this game may have plastics with the word “shields” misspelled as “sheilds”. We do not know where on the game this mistake would be found and have no picture examples of it.

An earlier example of a game with two spiral habitrails is Chicago Vending Company’s 1934 ‘Three Point’.

Care Instructions

REPRODUCTION BACKGLASS CARE and RECOMMENDATIONS

Never “triple thick” or apply any additional coatings to the backside of the glass.
Alcohol, acetone, and most ‘rattle-can’ liquids must NEVER contact with the ink.
If laying a glass down on its backside, always put down a towel or fabric to lay on.
The glass stock is tempered – so avoid significant hot-cold temperature shifts.
Be cautious of any impacts to the edges, such as setting the glass down on a concrete floor.
Never allow ‘sitting’ moisture on the backside. After 5-7 minutes there is a risk of ink degradation.
Do not spray cleaner directly onto the backside as prolonged contact with liquids may damage your glass.
If you must clean the backside (bulb dirt, etc.) wipe with a pre-dampened cloth (water or Windex).
After wiping, make sure the liquid is dried off (wipe all the way to dry). Do not allow any moisture to sit.
Glass cleaner sprayed directly on the fronts is fine.
Don’t let cleaner sit between the channels and your glass.
