Tropic Isle

Unlike other Gottlieb games of this period, 'Tropic Isle' has no option for 3-ball play. Wayne Neyens tell us that the name of this game while it was being engineered was 'Monkey Shines' but David Gottlieb had the name changed. See the image in this listing marked "Engineering Prototype".

The three gates in middle of playfield score 5 points. Every 3rd gate is worth 50 points.

Complete the 5 top lanes to increase outlanes to 50 points. This also increases center drains from 20 to 200 points.
