    ipdb.notes
    A copy of Premier's 1986 'Genesis' 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.
    ipdb.toys
    An animation feature is found under a dark tinted window in the middle of the playfield. It is called the "Regenerator" and it holds the "Lifeforce". When "Lifeforce" is lit, a full-stroke shot on the vari-target launches the unveiling of the Lifeforce robot. This sequence uses an onslaught of flashers around the robot and behind the translite, to the music of Bach's Toccatta & Fugue (as found on Gottlieb's 1982 'Haunted House').
