Here's a super cool and pretty rare 1965 Gottlieb Flipper Pool add-a-ball pinball machine in action. This game has a pretty basic rule set, but it's fun and full of action. Flipper Pool has double backbox animation and great artwork on both the playfield and the backglass. Spotting the lit pool balls on the playfield is the goal of the game and it can be set to provide an "added" extra ball from the 8th ball spotted on up to the 15th ball. That makes the game pretty easy, though, so this one is set to give an extra ball after the 10th ball is spotted. (This one also gives an extra ball at 1k, 2k and 3k points. That's why I get so many extra balls in this game.)
Anyway, this game was designed by the late, great Ed Krynski with artwork by the also late and also great Roy Parker, AKA the Gottlieb Dream Team! (I don't know if that's what they were called. I just made it up, but they were definitely a dream team.)
