ABOUT

A conversion kit for Bally's 1979 'Star Trek'. The backglass artwork is a mirror image copy of a 1973 painting called "The Death Dealer" by the fantasy artist Frank Frazetta. We previously showed a manufacturer date of 1985 for this game. However, Mr. Geiger has informed us that this kit was made in 1984 and that artist Michele "Mike" Martinelli did all of the Geiger conversion kits. He also provided the production run quantity.

after building some bonus, collect bonus (including multiplier) via right side alley back into the shooter lane

shooting drop targets often sends the ball back up top through the pop bumpers and into the saucer - a good strategic shot
