• No Backbox or Backglass, the Boards are all in the Plinth of the game
• Head-to-Head Pinball with players on opposite sides of the playfield, players control the flippers on their side only
• Gates between sides lets a ball pass through to the other player, but player will try and control the balls keeping them on their side of the playfield for maximum scoring
• It is possible to start a one player game, with the MPU controlling the opposing 'player'. But this is less enjoyable.
