Background
This was Steve Ritchie's first game for Williams after leaving Atari, after he was finished developing the Superman pinball for Atari. This game was known for having the first background sound for a pinball game, as well as the first pinball game to use flash lamps.[2]
Steve Ritchie designed about 90% the game on a cocktail napkin during a flight, while flying from Atari to Williams. The game also broke the factory production record at Williams and is still Ritchie's biggest seller.[3]
gollark: The managed runtime idea is kind of made not very useful by the fact that most stuff can be cross-compiled (eventually), and we have optimized per-language runtimes anyway.

gollark: Palaiologos is quite bees.
gollark: It is not.
gollark: Apparently it could end up (maybe sometimes) being faster because of not having to do context switches.
