Notes:

The game pictured has Zaccaria-style boards, but without the DMD high voltage section. The mechanisms under the playfield are Gottlieb. All the coils are generic with Italian Mfg. (Zaccaria, Bell Games) coil designations.

The playfield layout is similar to Premier's 1985 'Bounty Hunter'.

The artwork looks like actor Kurt Russell's character Snake Plissken from director John Carpenter's "Escape from New York" and later "Escape from L.A."
