Compare this playfield layout with that of the narrow body Williams' 1984 'Star Light'. The original name for this game was "Lanes", a bowling theme, and we include pictures of the pre-production backglass. Artist Constantino Mitchell told us that Williams originally wanted to do a bowling game featuring people from Williams, but he wanted to do something different and came up with the Laser Ball art concept, and Williams agreed. The playfield design retains the ten star rollovers in the shape of a rack of bowling pins. Pictured in this listing is an "amalgamated cabinet" having serial number 429749. According to the description given to us, the cabinet bottom is made with both MDF and hardboard. The backbox insert and back door are made of particleboard. The remainder of the cabinet and backbox is made with plywood. We don't know how many games left the factory this way. The style of bumper caps on this game would later be used on Williams' 1985 'Sorcerer'.
