TRIVIA

Released in the Spring of 1986, appearing first at the AMOA 1985 show, then an improved model showed up at the ACME show in March of 1986.

The 3x3 grid controller was touted as Bally's first "floorplay game," a concept that would be a predecessor to similar controllers in games like Dance Dance Revolution.
