Comments and Trivia
Originally, the game had 5 targets: S-T-E-P-S; but Pat Lawlor removed the last. He supposedly did this because Mark Ritchie, after playing some games, said it kept getting in the way of his shots. Only the first 15 sample games are made like that, then they removed the 2nd -S- to leave just S-T-E-P.
