The Best Jump

The undated magazine ad shown here indicates that this game is a conversion of Gottlieb's 1973 'Top Hand'. The backglass depicts a King Kong-like gorilla clutching a jet aircraft. This game was made as a 5-digit EM score reel display and also as a 7-digit SS display. Games having the 5-digit EM display will indicate scores higher than 99,990 points by lighting one of nine silkscreened numbers ranging from 100,000 to 900,000 located in the 'cloud' area of the backglass artwork. Games having the 7-digit SS display will award most scores at fifty times of what is indicated on the playfield. For example, 100 (or 1,000 when lit) actually scores 5,000 (or 50,000) points. The display shows a maximum of 9,999,990 points. Achieving 10 million points lights the silkscreened 100,000 number in the backglass. In this way, lighting the 900,000 number would represent achieving 90 million points.
