messages (refer to later text entitled "Problem Analysis Messages").

In normal operation, the displays initially show the last score. Then, the game goes into the
Attract Mode (playfield and backbox lamps flashing, sounds being heard, etc., if the operator does
not change the Factory Setting).
Open the coin door and press the BEGIN TEST switch to begin the game test routine. The left. score
display shows the game name, and the right score display shows the game number and game
software revision.

the game software was revised.
