No Good Gofers is a Williams pinball machine released in December 1997. It was Pat Lawlor's final design for Williams before their eventual closing in 1999.[1]
Description[edit]
The game revolves around Buzz and Bud, two gophers who are wreaking havoc on any and all golfers playing on their "turf". The gofers "pop-up" during gameplay to taunt the player, as well as provide entry ways to locks.
No Good Gofers also has a "slam-ramp" feature which if used correctly, will award the player a "hole-in-one" shot. Performing this is tricky, as the ball must travel off the ramp, into the air, and into a very small hole located on the game's upper playfield. The "hole-in-one" shot is often called one of the greatest shots in pinball history.
The game uses the DCS Sound System.

Digital versions[edit]
No Good Gofers is a playable licensed table in The Pinball Arcade for several platforms and also included in the Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection.
After Zen Studios acquired the license for Williams pinball table recreations from FarSight Studios (resulting in the table being removed from The Pinball Arcade in the summer of 2018), the table was made available as an add-on for Pinball FX 3 and is available to unlock in the Williams Pinball mobile app for iOS and Android as part of the fifth wave of Zen Studios' curation of Williams tables.
