Bomb The Axis Rats

Bomb The Axis Rats is a 1943 electro-mechanical conversion kit from Victory Games, adapting Chicago Coin's 1941 'Star Attraction' into a wartime-themed game. It first appears in a Victory Games advertisement in Billboard on September 11, 1943, and the kit was still being advertised as late as February 1945.

As a conversion kit rather than a ground-up new cabinet, Bomb The Axis Rats reused Star Attraction's flipperless playfield mechanics, redressed with a wartime, anti-Axis patriotic theme reflecting the tenor of American entertainment during World War II. Like other flipperless machines of the period, play relied on the initial plunge and skillful nudging rather than flipper control.

Specific details about the game's artwork and mechanical features are not well documented, but its wartime branding places it among a wave of conversion kits that let operators quickly retheme existing equipment to match the patriotic mood of the home front.
