ipdb.notes
IPDB Mark Penacho informed us that the voices on the game are Mark Ritchie and Soumya Netrabile (she wrote game manuals). Sample games have an Earthquake Institute that sinks into the playfield. Reportedly, an estimated 200 of these sample games were produced before this feature was made stationary due to costs, and their cabinets are said to be a lighter blue than the later games. Actual measured weight: 248 lbs (includes legs).
