Game Plan (company)
Game Plan was a pinball manufacturer that produced pinball tables from 1978 to 1985.[1] Game Plan was a subsidiary of AES Technology Systems and was located in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. Game Plan's president was former Chicago Coin table designer Wendell McAdams.[2][3]
The company initially produced cocktail-style pinball tables and produced five different models in their first year of existence.[4][1] The company began producing full-size tables with 1979's Sharpshooter, a "Wild West" themed table. Sharpshooter, incidentally, was Game Plan's best-selling table, having produced 4,200 units in all.[5]
Game Plan table designer John Trudeau, went on to design The Machine: Bride of Pin*Bot (1991) and The Flintstones (1994) at Williams.[6][7] Ed Cebula later worked as a table designer and mechanical engineer at Data East Pinball.[8]
