OK gang, I just had a Jungle Life game dropped of for restoration. IPDB suggests it was an Italian AAB export game.

However the original art on the game does not match the Italian version. Almost seems like an American version?

The jungle series have swirly art on the cab where this is unique chevron style.

the art matches Space orbit

but not the colors

no serial number stamps on the game...

Anybody have a similar game, or any info?

Ken

Very intriguing cabinet, and nice work matching it to Outer Space / Orbit / Space Orbit.

The game certainly has the Italian backglass. There are many Jungle Life photos from Italian owners on the Pinball Owners DB, and all the ones I viewed had the traditional swirly art.

The photos on IPDB are the only ones I have seen where the skull & crossbones spinner was added

Have you been able to look inside the cabinet/head for a serial number?

Neat game!

Any other telltale signs to an engineering sample to look for?

Restoration? That game looks nice. Don't you DARE repaint that cabinet! It's a very nice original, and may be some kind of sample. Keep it that way!
It doesn't look like it needs much. Would love to own that one!
