Gottlieb's Knock Out woodrail is a beautiful game. A V-shaped mechanism prevents your ball from draining until you complete certain goals. Your main goal is to knock down a mannikin boxer in a three dimensional boxing ring in the upper middle of the playfield! You do this by hitting the 5 bumpers, the rollovers, or the center target. The 5" bell when you knock down your opponent is great fun!

Episode 197 - 1958 Gottlieb Criss Cross

Criss Cross has an interesting gameplay feature - make three in a line or four corners to earn replays... sound familiar? This game has a unique roto target with colored standups that light the bumpers of corresponding color. Lighting four corners lights the gobble holes for special! Really fun gameplay with very interesting artwork.

Episode 199 - 1945 United Trade Winds

United made this conversion game during World War II for the game Sky Blazer. A sequence game - you try to unlight all 12 bumpers on the playfield, which will light super special at the bottom kickout hole. There are two bumpers near the ball arch in an unusual arrangement. A very fun game - if this was the game that I played... I forget!
