Mr. Do's 1982 Video Game Flags

What do you get when you combine Pac-Man with Dig Dug and a few elements of pinball?  Well, back in 1982 you get a classic video game called Mr. Do!  Mr. Do and the classic pinball feature of an extra ball or game when you spelled out a certain letter by hitting certain pins.  This carried over in Mr. Do's first game.  When you spelled out EXTRA by getting the Letter TV-Monster Ghosts you got an extra life.  But it was delivered with exciting fanfare of a cut scene.  One of the Yoshi like baddies can be seen waving a white flag and gives you an extra life.

Flags also appeared in Mr. Do's Wild Ride.  Flags act an end point goals, as they do in when playing golf.

The GOAL flag has a red orange colour that seems to have yellow stripes.
