Notes: The backglass and playfield art are color variations of an original work created by artist Christos Achilléos for the 1981 movie "Heavy Metal". It shows the character Taarna flying on a giant bird. His original art appears on the movie poster and the September 1981 front cover of Heavy Metal magazine.
The playfield layout is similar to Williams' 1980 'Blackout'.

That's a weird scoreboard.
Hmm.. Actually the scoreboard on the translite pictued in IPDB is different from Pinballslave's. So I wonder if the IPDB one is a prototype or something. It doesn't say that anywhere though. Hmmm.... Interesting... Maybe, since it was made from Brazil, Pinballslave's translite is from that company's English version of the game?
That's pretty strange.
