Notes: Artist Bob Timm told us that he did not do the artwork for this game so we have removed him from this listing. He worked for Ad Posters while Bally had their own in-house artists.
Bally artist David Christensen told us that he drew the two ladies on the playfield at the request of Bally management who felt the playfield art was lacking. Christensen was not credited for this contribution.

"Bally artist David Christensen told us that he drew the two ladies on the playfield at the request of Bally management who felt the playfield art was lacking". Tee hee. It wasn't only the playfield art that was lacking!

The ladies did seem a little out of place, but they're also the only thing remotely interesting about the art, heh. That backglass was a bit of a surprise!
