For your viewing pleasure, here's an up-to-date video a 1977 Team One pinball machine in action.

This is absolutely one of the most fun electromechanical machines ever made. It was made by Gottlieb at the very tail end of the EM era and is the add-a-ball version of Abra Ca Dabra.

This game is quite interesting and challenging and racking up the extra balls is satisfying and enjoyable. Hitting all the drop targets down lights the centre stationary target for WOW (extra ball). Spotting the 1 through 6 sequence lights the drop targets for WOW and hitting the lit drop target scores the extra ball.

The slingshots half-way up the playfield are cool and having the pop bumpers in the lower part of the playfield keep the player guessing. The gap between the flippers seems a bit wider than normal and the casual player may not find their ball times to be terribly long as a result.

Jeff Brenner was the designer and Gordon Morrison the artist. There were only 650 Team One machines made, which makes this game a particularly rare late 70's wedgehead.
