Stardust

Description

Made by Williams in January, 1972. This is a four-player machine with lots of gadgets. Its artwork is typical of the period with sharp angular style. The theme of this game is not clear. The art shows several people in goofy contortions and a bunch of stars.

Backglass: Contorted people and stars. The main colors are green, blue, yellow, and magenta.

Playfield: Symmetrical layout with five jet bumpers in the standard Williams early 1970's configuration at the top of the playfield. Two of the five are green and two are yellow. Two standup targets are situated in the corners above the targets which light the corresponding color bumpers increasing their value from 10 to 100 points. The center bumper is always lit for 100 points. On the right side of the playfield are two ball-save gates--one up high and one in the outlane. Both gates lead to the plunger lane. One the left side of the playfield, midway is another gate. The gate just leads from near the left outlane to feed to the flippers.

The prominant feature on the playfield is a dial in the center that rotates from one position to the next when certain targets or bumpers are hit. The dial points at various awards including: extra ball (when lit), bonus, double bonus, triple bonus, open left gate, open right gate, and open lower gate. Two saucers are on the playfield, both in the center of the playfield, one up at the top of the arch, and one in the middle just below the bumpers. Both saucers score the dial award currently selected. The extra ball dial awards are lit periodically depending on the 00-90 point unit. To the sides of the middle saucer are two standup targets which advance the bonus and raise the up post between the flippers.

Cabinet: Colors are yellow and magenta on a green background. The stenciled shapes are contorted people and stars.
