Star Action

1974opdb · GRzny-M2Yl1

Convertible between add-a-ball and novelty play. Williams Daily Production Logs indicate a 1-player add-a-ball game named 'Tripoli', approved for 30 sample games but none made, was deleted from the Log on May-11-1973, the same day that an approved 30 units of 'Star Action' first appeared on the Log. This may be evidence that the game was renamed, perhaps to avoid confusion with the replay version, Williams' 1973 'Triple Action'.
