This game is notable for coming with three different sets of playfield stickers, allowing operators to set up the game with clothed, topless, or fully nude Playmates. Aside from the sex appeal, it's regarded as a middling game by most pinheads, one that's easy enough for the masses but not challenging enough for expert players. Even so, the game does have its supporters, who [[IReadItForTheArticles insist they enjoy it strictly for its old-school gameplay.]]
