The gameplay for Gulfstream is surprisingly fun and fast for an old machine. Obviously, Norm Clark knew his stuff--who needs a lot of ramps and toys on the playfield if you can get fun flow out of the basics (which is, of course, what all early 70s machines did). One thing that sets it apart from Doodle Bug is that it uses three chimes rather than bells for sound. I've always prefered chimes over bells...it reminds me of the machines I played when I was a kid. Which makes sense, because I started playing pinball when I was seven, and this particular machine was brand new when I was six.

Dimensions: 5'6" tall, 4'3" front to back, and 25" width.
