I've only seen these messages on John Popadiuk's games.
I'm guessing that maybe he was the one who decided change it.
Very fitting since his last name is pronounced, "Pop a duke."

Interesting read from 1995, a time where people believed kissing transmitted AIDS. We have come a long way.

Haha! Yea, I need to custom the rest of them in some way as well.
I was just reading an article that stated that AIDS is no longer an issue in Australia.
If you catch HIV it can be controlled with treatment and is no longer a death sentence
Really, what was the point of these being put into the game anyway? Social problems aside, did the pinball companies get gold stars (bonus points, tax advantages) from the gov't at that time?

I think youre on the wrong site sir.
I still remember the Winners don't do drugs banner on the Narc video game. It was the first game that Williams published after they stopped doing pinball.
They pushed the message to a whole anti drug video game, the problem was that it somewhat promoted drug through the cool life of drug dealers with super weapons against 2 poorly armed cops who kept dying so we would put more coins !

But the DMD makes it look so cool... is that a Martini?
The guy’s even smiling!
