Notes:

There is also a German version of this game, with German text on the backglass and playfield.

We are seeking to confirm if score cards for this game begin with the code of "D" as we have several such cards to post online but don't know to which game they belong. Since score cards are often interchanged between many different Bally models, it may be difficult to know the true source of the cards on any particular Discotek but if anyone has the original manufacturer's envelope containing the full complement of pristine score cards and other Discotek documentation, perhaps this might "prove" the correct card code for this game and we ask you to contact us.
