Quoted from pinwiztom:

Best CAB artwork ever for EM.

But why a Rainbow Trout for an oceanic themed game? A Sailfish or Marlin would have suited it better.

3Ball novelty, great game. 1.8M is my best game. It really gets your heart pumping when those wows are being collected. Your game is gorgeous. With such few games made you should register your serial number.
My game was autographed by a fam distributor in the NE.

A Guido game! Guido DelSignore. He "autographed" all of his games. Although I'm in NY state and have had hundreds of games, I've never had one of his. I was fortunate to have had visited him at his place in Fort Edward, NY shortly before he passed away, many years ago. He was one of the earliest operators ever, and I believe he was close to 100 or even older when he died.
Funny thing that "Neptune". It may be the very first one I ever played in an arcade in Lake George. He operated all the games in the area, and I fondly remember seeing it and playing it for the first time in that arcade back in the '70s. I think I may even have a photograph of it somewhere!
But sadly, I also remember seeing the head of a "Neptune" literally rotting away on the dirt floor of a damp side room at his place when I was there visiting him.
A friend of mine has a body only, and I've since learned that body came from Guido's stash. Probably was the game with the head that was rotting away.
I'm sure he must have owned many copies of that title, so who really knows?
