Quoted from LTG:I never heard of a fire in a pinball machine. Hyperball with all the black on the playfield and plastic top, can warp in sunlight.
Namco had a huge sit down video game with a fresnal screen. The screen acted like a magnifying glass and could light the game on fire if the game was in direct sunlight.
LTG : )
That was Starblade. But it wasn't a fresnal lens that was the fire hazard, it was the huge concave mirror in the front of the cabinet (The monitor was over your head and was a backwards image).
