- IPDB According to Japan collector Yasushi Takeda, this game first appeared in Universal's new product catalogue of 1977. The manufacturer's flyer included in this listing indicates a Showa Era date of "S.52.9.30.10" which is September 30, 1977 but we don't know what the "10" means nor do we know the specific meaning of that date on a flyer. The arcade industry newspaper Game Machine dated Oct-15-1977 indicated that Universal exhibited 'Hard Rock' at the 15th Amusement Machine Show, a Japanese arcade exhibition held during October 5-7, 1977. Typically, orders for purchase are taken at such shows. used

- IPDB 3 balls per play. Flippers (2), Pop bumpers (5), Slingshots (2), Kick-out holes (6), Standup targets (2). The game looks electro-mechanical from the outside but, according to the Japanese flyer, it uses a CPU circuit board. Some of this flyer's information has been translated for us as follows: It is a contemporary pinball machine. We were aiming for harmony of machinery and electronic. * Equipped with CPU * Ring counter * Electrical sound * Contactless switch Height 1730mm Width 521mm Length 1320mm Electric Power 56W AC100V 50/60Hz The "ring counter" may be a reference to the backbox score reels. The "ones" reel looks like a dummy zero. used
