ABOUT

The opening skill shot is known as "The Pit", a feature used again on Premier's 1990 'Bell Ringer' and Premier's 1994 'Bullseye'. A Supplemental Addendum in the Instruction Manual and dated 4/22/85, addressing all System 80B alphanumeric display game Instruction Manuals, informs that a (System 80B) game may have different displays than what is shown in certain pages of its manual.

Skill shot ridiculously overpowered: worth up to 1MIL. Get more skill shots by spelling PIT and shooting the ramp.
