Whirl-Wind

Overview

Whirl-Wind, released in 1958 (officially December 1957), was a classic electro-mechanical game manufactured by D. Gottlieb & Co.. Designed by Wayne Neyens with artwork by Roy Parker, approximately 1,100 units were produced.

A standout feature is the kicker located between the flippers that launches the ball back toward the "roto target" at the top. A rotating target spins, stops, and indexes to offer different scoring opportunities based on where it lands.
