    ipdb.notes
    Unlike other Bally electronic pinball games, their documentation for this game shows the model number only as 1198, not 1198-E. At the 2004 Texas Pinball Festival, O'Connor stated he designed the artwork for this game, delivered to him as a whitewood, because he was reading Frans Gunner Bengtsson's "The Long Ships" at the time. The backglass is O'Connor's vision of King Harald's Christmas feast. The character in green (with a beard) to the left of the fighters is a self-portrait by Kevin. Brook Shields (popular at the time) is drawn as a background character on the right.
