ABOUT
220lbs uncrated; 22 7/8" wide, 52 1/8" deep, 74 1/4" tall.
Breakshot was originally scheduled to be produced after Big Bang Bar, Kingpin, and Flipper Football but, because it became ready for production in a short time, ahead of the others, it was produced ahead of them.
According to the book Pinball Memories, Capcom promoted 'Breakshot' as having the first loadable captive ball feature on a pinball. However, a different type of loadable captive ball feature can be found on Bally Midway's 1986 'Strange Science' and Bally Midway's 1987 'Heavy Metal Meltdown'.
When a whitewood was approved for release to production, a sequentially-assigned project number was assigned to the game and engineering drawings were started. The Project Number for this game was "PB-6". This number appears on the playfield under the cardholder.
