Tim's Tiny Arcade released a new video covering Levers, a 1983 arcade platformer developed by Rock-Ola Manufacturing Corporation. The segment provides an overview of the game's design and historical context. The video also examines the cabinet's artwork and control scheme.

Levers was produced on a rapid schedule, with development completed in six weeks to meet a trade show deadline. The swift development is frequently highlighted when discussing the game.

The game's name references the basic mechanical principle of a lever, a simple machine consisting of a beam pivoted on a fulcrum. This connection underscores the arcade's emphasis on timing and precision.
