Spirit of 76 (pinball)

Spirit of 76 is a pinball game designed by Ed Krynski and Wayne Neyens and released in 1975 by Gottlieb. It is the last game designed by Wayne Neyens. The pinball machine should not be confused with the pinball machine The Spirit of '76 by Mirco Games, Inc.

Design
The pinball game Spirit of 76 was made to celebrate the 200th birthday of the United States. Competing manufacturers made similar machines, with Williams releasing Liberty Bell, and Bally releasing Freedom. One of the designers, Wayne Neyens, received the 10,000th machine; due to the serial numbering starting at 3,001, this game had the serial number 13,000. This was later donated to the Pacific Pinball Museum. == Layout and gameplay ==
Layout and gameplay
The game uses a symmetrical layout, with a bank of four drop targets on either side of the machine spelling 1-7-7-6 and 1-9-7-6. a series of A-B-C-D-E rollovers are in various locations on the playfield. In the center of the machine is a kick-out hole. Completing the drop targets and/or rollovers lights this hole for double-bonus, extra ball, or a special. The inspiration for using a trio of awards is the three branches of Government: executive, legislative, and judicial. ==Digital version==
