Sideshooter pin toys have been entertaining youngsters for a long time, possibly going back to the 1910s or 20s. While they can be fun, they can also get old, since most share a similar design, with only the scoring, and number of slots differing.
Well, maybe that won't be the case with Jet Sideshooter. The image is slightly distorted, giving it sort of a squashed look. So I have designed my version based on those distortions, and also set the adjustable spped launcher so the ball usually lands in the lowest scoring slot.
You'll need to readjust the launch speed, as well as nudge it a bit, in order to earn the higher scoring slots. But then, you run the risk of the ball rebounding back to the right og the scoring slots and merrily rolling to the hidden drain. If you're an oldster, relive your past, if you're a youngster, play a bit of history. And since sideshooters are kissing cousins to bagatelle, you can find Jet on this page:
