A question about an Alvin Gottlieb pinball : maybe a German or Dutch Pinsider can answer me?
And the answer is not in IPDB !
Alvin Gottlieb produced a head-to-head pinball machine known in the US as A.G. Soccer-Ball and there was at least one export version, named A.G. Football. Not to be confused with the A.G. USA Football which has it an American football table.
It is also known that there are at least two versions of ROMS: R07U (July 1992) and R18U (April 1993).

It is possible to change the configuration, for the national hymns, for the language (English, French and German), but also for the title of the game: Soccer, Fooball and Futbol.
It seems, therefore, that Alvin had planned to produce three variants of this pinball.

We know one export version, the "Football" that seems to have been intended for the French market (or European - non German market).
This one has a specific cabinet, apron and portal where the name "soccer" has been replaced by "football".
A Flyer has also been printed for the "A.G. Fooball", but by mistake, the pictures on it are thoses of the "A.G. Soccer-Ball".
But as you can see, the cabinet is really different from flyer:

Have you ever seen another pinball with a cabinet marked "A.G. Futbol", or did Alvin eventually limit himself to a single export version "A.G. Football"?
Of course, any picture of an "A.G. Futbol" (if it exist) are welcome.
