Surf 'n Safari

1991opdb · G5W0z-MLW6N

Rand Paulin tells us that a single version of this was produced as a DMD test platform, and after demonstration to Mondial at an industry show in Europe, it was converted to standard model for sale locally. Jon Norris confirmed with us that Steve Kirk contributed to the playfield by adding the post that randomizes the ball's exit from the pop bumper area, and adding the palm trees.
