Midway’s White Lightning EM
Here’s another promotional mailer, this one from Midway about their electro-mechanical (EM) game called White Lightning. This particular card is unused and in great shape with a vibrant yellow background that really sets off the game.
Most EM games are big, monster games, that are a ton of fun. I’ve never played White Lightning before, but what isn’t fun about shooting steel balls at an unbreakable Lexan target? I’d love to have a nice line up of EM shooter’s in the house, but I’d need some more floor space. Dining room’s are highly overrated I think

Nylon balls aren’t they, not steel?
You really don’t get a sense of the depth of the machine / how far you’re shooting until you look at the Marvin3m site.

Artwork on the targets is kind of crappy looking….but I am sure a fun game to try at a party.

You’re right, nylon balls it is. I guess I always thought they were steel. The machine body looks like a modified pinball, with legs and all, so it does have some depth. The targets are ugly, but fit the theme of the game I think. Nothing like making a little moonshine.
