Notes: One example of this game pictured here matches the game shown in the manufacturer's flyer and we have labeled this game as Early Production although we do not yet know its serial number.

Although the backglass is the same as production games, the playfield artwork is different as follows:

• The orange path in upper playfield is curved in a continuous line instead of looking like stripes.
• The artwork above the flippers is darker and does not extend below the flipper inlanes.
• The 5000 and Advance Bonus lettering for each kick-out hole is black, not white.
• The lower playfield bonus inserts are white, not red.
• Two playfield plastics are slightly different in color or design (see annotated comparison photo).

The cabinet is painted orange-on-white instead of red-on-white.
