Notes:​

'Capersville' features 3-ball multiball play, used earlier on Bally's 1963 'Star-Jet'. A special version was also produced for Germany.

Artist Jerry Kelley later revealed that his inspiration for the art for 'Capersville' was the 1965 French detective movie "Alphaville" starring American actor-singer Eddie Constantine, i.e. the man in the backglass!​
