Notes: | 'Capersville' features 3-ball multiball play, used earlier on Bally's 1963 'Star-Jet'. A special version was produced for Germany with the same project number and project release date. The schematic part number for the US version is W-1042-31c, and for the German version is W-1042-33a. A Cash Box ad from February 18, 1967, indicates that Bally announced delivery of this game the week before, while the December 1966 date we show as Date of Manufacture came from a 1976 Bally parts catalog. Christian Jacobs, a collector in Germany, told us of a conversation he had in May 2000 with artist Jerry Kelley. In it, Kelley revealed that his inspiration for the art for 'Capersville' was the 1965 French detective movie 'Alphaville' starring American actor-singer Eddie Constantine. After looking at some old movie posters, it becomes obvious that Constantine is the man in the backglass. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
