- IPDB This is the 2-player 'kick-up' (add-a-ball) version for export to Italy. Although 'Beatniks' is sometimes considered to be the last Italian version game from this manufacturer, that distinction may actually belong to Chicago Coin's 1968 'Gun Smoke'. While Gottlieb's Italian games were known for incorporating the extra ball lights into the backglass artwork, there are no such visible art elements on this game from Chicago Coin. We do know that ten 'musical notes' were visible on the backglass for extra balls. It is believed they appear only when lit from behind and are where the match numbers (0 thru 9) light up in the replay version of this game. used
