    ipdb.notes
    A copy of the 4-player Gottlieb's 1976 'Surf Champ'. At first glance, this game might look like a version of the electromechanical Maresa's 'Surfer', except it has no manufacturer name on the backglass and uses a wedgehead backbox. The surfboard on the backglass has circles instead of stars. The lack of an evident replay unit and the style of card holder suggests this game is an add-a-ball made by an Italian manufacturer. However, if Italian, the backglass is missing the usual group of five unnumbered art elements (five stars, five beach balls, etc.) used to count added balls. A solid state version is Unknown Manufacturer's 'Surf Champ'.
