Masters
Photo Play NET was an additional service for Photo Play cabinets to sync their high scores to the web using a dial up modem. Around 1998, Funworld released the Photo Play Masters cabinet with a dial up modem and new refreshed look as part of this campaign. Besides of the modem/look, these cabs are technically identical to the normal woodgrain Photo Play 2000 and were sold alongside each other.
