The game was developed using the "Exorcisor", a computer from Motorola that Jarvis describes as "the most overbloated, overpriced computer ever created".
When the game was finally finished, the machine wouldn't come on the first time the ROM chips were inserted, however when the ROMs were "burned" (the method of transferring the game from the development computer to the arcade machine's ROM chips) a second time, it did come on.
It was one of the first games on WMS's (Bally Midway and Williams Electronics merged in 1986 to form WMS Industries, but kept the Bally, Williams, and Midway labels) new T-Unit arcade hardware.
