Notes:

Conversion of Gottlieb's 1971 'Astro' made for export to Italy. No apparent connection with the famous TV show.

The flyer shows a card holder with a Ball In Play counter and which also properly omits the word 'flipper', a required omission for Italian games of the period. In contrast, the production games we show in this listing each have a USA card holder indicating 'flipper buttons' and, interestingly, does not provide for a Ball In Play counter. Federico Croci, a collector in Italy, reports that all Star Trek games he has seen there do have the Ball In Play counter in the card holder, just like the flyer.
