Notes:

First of the so-called "Street Level" games, which were an experiment by Gottlieb towards designing a simpler, single level (no ramps), slightly smaller and cheaper game for operators who thought pinball machines were too expensive. They did not sell very well overall, and only six models were made before Premier returned to games with more sophisticated playfield designs. The other five are Premier's 1990 'Vegas', Premier's 1990 'Deadly Weapon', Premier's 1990 'Title Fight', Premier's 1991 'Car Hop', and Premier's 1991 'Hoops'.

Marketing Slogans:

"This is your ticket to the games of the future!!!"
