# No Good Gofers

The "No Good Gofers" pinball machine, released by Williams in December 1997, is the final design by Pat Lawlor for the company. The game features a humorous golfing theme centered around two mischievous gophers, Buzz and Bud, who disrupt players' attempts to complete the course. Key gameplay elements include a unique "slam ramp" that can launch the ball for a "hole-in-one" shot, a spinning disc, multiple ramps, and a multi-ball mode. The machine also boasts vibrant artwork by John Youssi and engaging sound effects and music by Vince Pontarelli​.
