    ipdb.notes
    Playfield has plastic roaches with color-coded racing stripes mounted on springs above corresponding playfield targets. One was themed after Gary Stern - named "Hairy Gary", it had a puff of white cotton glued to its head. Other bugs names were based on other Sega employee names, including Kaz Kajiya, Jim Gorman, and Shelley Sax. Basically the same as Sega's 1997 'Derby Daze'. Uses extra long flippers first used on Data East's 1990 'King Kong'.
