I played this game once and only once at the 1989 Pinball Expo. I was hounding Steve Ritchie like a movie star almost the whole time and this was one game we played together. For some reason the feature where you travel between the islands (ala Pinbot's planet feature) intrigued me, invoking thoughts of the Raiders of the Lost Ark animated 'airplane flying over the map between cities with as a red line' sequence. Well, someone was selling one on ebay and I snagged these nice shots

Tried to find out how sophisticated this thing is but the seller didn't know. That is, do you have to roll over an East target to go east, and/or would a west rollover lane take you backwards on an east-west line, but do nothing on a north-south line? Maybe someone can post the answer! I'm always fascinated by suprisingly sophisticated mechanical things.
