Historical Notes

Unlike other Bally electronic pinball games, their documentation for this game shows the model number only as 1217, not 1217-E. Artist Greg Freres told us:'Frontier' was loosely based on the lifestyle and appearance of the husband of a Bally executive. Most people just thought we were riffing on the Grizzly Adams TV series.
