Game Story
I bought this rare gem from a fellow collector. Months passed and we could not manage to arrange delivery. This is a heavy game over 700 pounds!
This cabinet had to go when we moved back east.

Production Notes
The environmental cabinet is almost a different game. It supports online player while the upright support two alternating. There are additional board to provide speech, additional sounds, strobe effects and more black lights. The additional sound create a stereo illusion of the discs whizzing by the player’s head that are enabled by additional speaker behind the player.
