Notes: Although Ed Boon is listed on the playfield, according to Louis Koziarz, Ed was doing video at Midway (Mortal Kombat) when this game was created.

Designer John Trudeau said the backglass art contains likenesses of himself and artists Greg Freres and Pat McMahon.

According to the book Pinball Memories, artist Pat McMahon created X-rated artwork for a version of backglass intended for an interested European market. The glass was never produced. Additionally, Bally had considered using black pinballs, but had to abandon the idea.
