- TRIVIA -
The game was originally called Mother-ship, and the mechanics were developed by Marvin Glass. However, the realistic-looking game did not test very well, it was supposed to use a mirror to reflect the image of a ship onto the play-field. In an attempt to save the project, Bill's new design of the game introduced the cute green alien called KAP'N KROOZ'R that Bally Midway executives hoped would be the next fad like "Pac-Man" was for Namco (note : KAP'N KROOZ'R next appearance was in "Wacko").

WIP:

- 10th December 2006: Mr. Do - Kozmik Kroozr artwork, cleaned up by Ad_Enuff. I was able to recreate the backdrop, complete with the spaceship. However, at this time, there is no way to make the ship change position (though I do have the pics to do it). Maybe some special sole will be able to add something to the driver.
