Notes: Aaron Spelling (1923-2006) was an American television and film producer. Data East was commissioned by his second wife to build this game, as her gift to him. The company modified a game that was currently being made, Data East's 1992 'Lethal Weapon 3'. We don't know if the modification was more than just cosmetic, but, reportedly, the playfield features a target with a picture of daughter Tori on it, that, when hit, says "I love you daddy."

Notes: Used the playfield design from Data East's 1992 'Lethal Weapon 3'.

One "blue cabinet" version was made of this game, having a different backglass. A picture of it is in The Pinball Compendium 1982 to Present.

A "red cabinet" version of this game was photographed in profile and appears in the book Rare Air Michael on Michael published in 1993.
