ABOUT

Later production games reportedly used the "Whitestar (modified)" MPU (running in a BSMT-2000 audio emulation mode) due to supply shortages for the BSMT-2000 sound chip. This game features custom speech by Arnold Schwarzenegger. The backbox uses regular incandescent light bulbs instead of a fluorescent bulb like the other recent Stern games have used.

Especially if the drop target is up, the lane shot has a dangerous return. It's safer from left flipper. Payback time is a safer mode.
