A Modern Classic... NO GOOD GOFERS!
1997 Williams

Get ready Golfers, it's time for... NO GOOD GOFERS!  This game was one of the last traditional style pinball machines produced by Williams, manufacturer of the greatest and most collectable games on the planet.  This game was designed by the great Pat Lawlor, who created mega-hits such as The Addams Family, Twilight Zone and Funhouse and it has all of Pat's classic design queues along with a LOT more stuff than most other games.  Who doesn't like golf?  This was a wonderful theme to build around because adults and children alike can appreciate the goals of the game and there is a TON of things to do on this playfield!  This game takes you out on the links, trying to complete a round of golf without being harassed by Bud and Buzz, the pesky gophers of the course.  But you can't escape them... they will do everything in their power to make your game far tougher than it should be!  The humor in the game is hilarious and everyone that plays No Good Gofers just can't get enough it.  The beautiful artwork makes it as much fun to look at as it is to play!

Listen to the zany music as you plunge the ball up the shooter lane to go for the SKILL SHOT, or launch right up the ramp to go for the DRIVING RANGE.  That's right, this game has one of the most unique shots in all of pinball history!  When the right inlane is lit for the driving range, a mechanized ramp will slam down in the center of the playfield for you to aim the ball towards.  Hit the ramp correctly and your ball will be launched to the UPPER PLAYFIELD!  Up there, you can aim for the crazy looking rocket propelled golf cart, slice to the left for a loop around to the upper left ramp or... go for the HOLE IN ONE shot up on the green.  It's a tough shot, but it allows you to complete your current hole with one stroke!  The main objective of the game is to complete 9 holes of golf without getting interrupted by BUD and BUZZ, the pesky gophers.  They will do things like pop up out of the playfield to taunt you, get in your way, turn out the playfield lights, turn on the spinning wheel to throw your ball off course and generally cause mayhem on the course!  Whack one of them in the head with the ball when they pop up and get a shot at the playfield locks.  Lock three balls and start a MULTI-BALL FRENZY with a jackpot shot worth MILLIONS!  Go for the lit DRIVE shots and once you're on the green, you can PUTT OUT for a chance at a special award displayed on the rotating MYSTERY WHEEL that's right on the playfield!  Keep away from the SAND TRAP and WATER HAZARDS so you don't gain strokes.  Finish holes with less strokes for bigger point values.  Go for the LOOP SHOTS with DUAL SPINNER TARGETS at each side of the playfield.  Hit the CAPTIVE BALL near the center of the playfield to increase point values in the game.  Watch as the DUAL CENTER ramps RAISE AND LOWER to allow access to the ramps, lock shots and a chance to whack those pests in the head with your pinball!  Go for the right ramp using the upper THIRD FLIPPER!  All of the standard classic game features are there as well such as pop-bumpers, slingshots, rollovers, standing targets, spinners, kickout holes and ball poppers.  This game has so many play modes and features, you'll take years to discover it all!  The wonderful and family-friendly theme goes great in any home gameroom!
