ABOUT

Designer John Trudeau tells us that this game was inspired by the 1927 German film 'Metropolis'. Artist Don Marshall told us he did the black-and-white photographic translite and the brochures and magazine advertisements. Larry Day told us he did the art for the playfield and cabinet, and Ken Hale tinted the translite with photo oils to add color.

Playfield is double whatever the current x value is during multiball, for example, 4 parts collected = 5x in single play, 10x in multiball

Complete all 4 body parts to light "life force generator" on vari-target. Target must go all the way back. Now you can get more multipliers.
