| Notes: | The 2-player version of this game is Gottlieb's 1977 'Mustang'.
We previously showed a date for this game of April 1977. The new date is per Gottlieb documentation.
A special version of this 4-player Model 396 game was made for export to Germany only. The backbox had 100,000-point relays for each player, numbered J1 thru J4. However, the backglass was the same as the domestic games, not silkscreened to show an actual number of 100,000 for each player. Instead, to indicate 100,000 points was achieved, the Player light above each set of score reels (1, 2, 3, or 4) would individually illuminate. Otherwise, these numbers remained dark. The German coin door had three coin chutes and associated coining adjustments.

| Type: | Electro-mechanical (EM) |

| Design by: | Al Schlappa, Jerry Koci |
| Notes: | The add-a-ball version of this game is Chicago Coin's 1964 'Mustang'.
We previously showed a date for this game of July, 1964. An article in Cash Box, Oct-17-1964, page 65 stated that Chicago Coin unveiled this game at the MOA Convention held October 14-16 at the Sherman Hotel in Chicago. The article stated that the game was available in an add-a-ball model and was in full production.
We have removed Roy Parker as the artist for this game as the backglass and playfield art have been deemed to more resemble other artist's work such as that of Williams' 1963 'Big Daddy' or Bally's 1966 'Campus Queen'. Further, we have no provenance data to support Parker as the artist for this game. |
