Historical Notes

Artist Kevin O'Connor did not portray the man in the backglass, as sometimes believed (according to Kevin himself). Note that the actor originally wore tights for the photo, and his pants were airbrushed in later. This game was produced from August 1988 to November 1988. In the Files Section are close-up pictures of a playfield that did not have the flasher holes cut out and also close-ups of a normal playfield for comparison.
