    ipdb.notes
    This playfield has the same layout as the 2-player Gottlieb's 1975 'Quick Draw' and the 4-player Gottlieb's 1975 'Fast Draw'. The playfield has no game name on it. The artist's signature dates this playfield as 1984, well into the solid-state era. We don't know if this is a converted game or not. For instance, we don't know if Jacques Martina would have found it profitable in 1984 to re-theme those Gottlieb's EM games from 1975. However, if this is a conversion of a SS game using the 1975 playfield design, we would benefit from having in evidence more than this stripped playfield with no name. All of our other game listings from Martina and for which we have dates precede this game by at least fourteen years. Perhaps during this interval Martina decided to make a complete game, not a converted one, even if an updated copy.
