Godsey's General Store is a 7 ball game, because that's what I grew up playing in the early 1950s. The slope is 7.5, so the ball can and does get moving good and fast. The table is the same one that Ike and Joh Walton made in the fall of 1940. It was never shown in the TV show, because Cora Beth wouldn't allow it in the store, and it was kept in the shed out back.
The nine red, white and blue bumpers represent the WPA, or Works Progress Administration, a depression era government program to help needy people find work. The 19 drop targets and 6 spinners showcase the artwork of Maude Gormley. The three rollovers at the top left actually camoflage the pool table and a supply of the Baldwin sisters Recipe.
The center Captive Ball game awards 1000 points plus one store credit. At the end of the game, press R for a list of goods you can redeem your store credits for, or see Ike to pay off part of you account, or to barter for items not listed.
Targets and bumpers score 50 ppoints each, with a 7,500 point bonus for dropping all the targets, which isn't as easy as it looks. The extra long flippers have been adjusted to what felt right for me, feel free to adjust to suit yourself.
The playfild image is Rockfish Creek. Try not to get your ball wet. It should be available at VPO soon, or at shivaSite as soon as I get there to upload it
