Uses two 20-digit, alpha-numeric (with commas), blue Futaba displays. At start of game, player can choose between 'modern' or 'nostalgia' modes. Nostalgia mode imitates electromechanical games by awarding lower levels of points and using synthesized chime sounds.
Historical Notes
A "Street level" game, which were an experiment by Gottlieb towards designing a simplier, single level (no ramps), slightly smaller and cheaper game. They did not sell very well, and only six models (Premier's 1990 'Silver Slugger', Premier's 1990 'Vegas', Premier's 1990 'Deadly Weapon', Premier's 1990 'Title Fight', Premier's 1991 'Car Hop' and Premier's 1991 'Hoops') were made. Compare the playfield layout of Car Hop to Premier's 1994 'World Challenge Soccer' which was not one of the six 'Street level' games and has a ramp and a habitrail.
