Field notes
The homepage explains that the simulation was reconstructed from video, photographs and schematics, and links to a separate account of what the project added. Its linked material is described as including rules from the coin box and manual, plus photos and full video of a working machine. The page also gives a glimpse of the simulated hit sequence: a bird burst, four HIT SCORE lamps and an EXPERT trophy.
