We previously listed this game as "Bally Rocket" as seen in other pinball resources. However, the backglass shows "Bally's Rocket" but this possessive form of the manufacturer's name would have us exclude it from the game name. The manufacturer's flyer text (not shown here) refers to this game as just "Rocket".
