Unlike other Bally electronic pinball games, their documentation for this game shows the model number only as 1198, not 1198-E. At the 2004 Texas Pinball Festival, O'Connor stated he designed the artwork for this game, delivered to him as a whitewood, because he was reading Frans Gunner Bengtsson's "The Long Ships" at the time. The backglass is O'Connor's vision of King Harald's Christmas feast. The character in green (with a beard) to the left of the fighters is a self-portrait by Kevin. Brook Shields (popular at the time) is drawn as a background character on the right.

Shoot the inline drops. Then shoot the R "orbit" for collect bonus. Shoot the target near the inline drops when you hear the siren.

Shooting the spinner adds bonus and boosts the spinner value temporarily.

Shooting the right orbit lights the upper left saucer for Collect Bonus. This collects the multiplied value and does not reset it!
