    ipdb.notes
    Probably the first SS game by Playmatic. The backglass artwork depicts elements from the Star Wars movies: the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, and TIE fighter spacecraft. Also depicted is a lady with an unusual helmet seen previously on the backglass of Gottlieb's 1976 'Target Alpha'. The manufacturer's flyer shows a playfield with slight differences in a few art elements than the production playfields also pictured here. For instance, the double bonus text is different, there are two dice next to each inlane "30,000 when lit", there are two dice next to each red outlane special inserts, the plastic light shield between the two top rollovers has a purple background (not yellow), and, notably, there are only two mushroom bumpers (not four).

    Flashing lights on 3D 'Tunnel' on the backglass.
