    Flippers (2), 4-bank drop targets (1). Three ball multiball. Right outlane detour gate (between outlane and inlane). Shooter lane detour gate (between shooter lane and outlane). No pop bumpers on this game. An aerial habitrail returns ball to shooter alley. Sometimes, a detour gate opens into the shooter alley to catch this ball at the same time that the right outlane detour gate opens, creating a path to return this ball directly to the right flipper. The translite is a combination of hand-drawing and photography.
    ipdb.notes
    A copy of Premier's 1987 'Arena' manufactured by VIFICO S.A. under license from Gottlieb/Premier. The VIFICO name should appear on the backglass below the score displays and on the playfield lower apron. Gottlieb shipped the translites, unpopulated playfields, and the printed circuit boards to Spain. VIFICO made the cabinets, wiring, coils, assemblies, and the transformer. VIFICO made licensed games from Gottlieb/Premier from 1985 to 1989. All used Gottlieb's System 80B.
