Quoted from mbeardsley:

Why do shows cover or alter the game names on the machines?

Short answer: Easier than involving lawyers, and much, MUCH cheaper.

#2652 3 years ago
Quoted from Darcy:

An Quantum Leap episode, called 'Mirror Image'. Has a Gottlieb Baseball in the bar scenes.
Another time travelling pinball machine, there is a reference that it is 1953 in this episode.

In the trailer for the upcoming film Willy's Wonderland, staring Nicholas Cage. Pinball is shown twice, has a Willy's Wonderland translite but didn't see much of the playfield.

Gottlieb by the displays I think.

Edit: Devils Dare, I'm 90% sure of it based on the number of displays, locations and color and the targets visible on the center and left side of playfield.

I didn’t spot a pin, but I sure as heck heard one. Just watching Hard Eight. At 29:20 there is a casino scene, which initially has classic slot sounds, but at 29.36 I’m hearing classic Bally EE background sounds. Or did Bally use that sound in some of their slots?

Okay, So I can see the Nordamatic Champion and the Williams Winner, but I'm not sure about the other one. Is it a Gottlieb High Hand?

From TV show CAR KINGS two of the cast members were playing pinball. I only caught this part, I don't know if these games were in their break room or where. They were playing Wizard and 4 Million BC. The name of the shop where they customize cars is GALPIN AUTO SPORT. Poor quality picture is from my cell phone .

I saw a new TV ad the other day, where for a second or two they show a lady playing what looks like a Bally Expressway.

Can't remember what they were selling though.

Perhaps already mentioned but I just re watched the original "The Stand" from 1994 and in season 1 episode 1 there is a beautiful No fade Black Rose in a rec room scene

Looks like it was mentioned once 8 years ago, but no pics -

Quoted from taz:

There's a Black Rose in the opening scenes of Stephen King's The Stand. You can see it in a cafeteria as the camera pans over some of the first folks who bought the farm from the escaped super virus.

Got a screen shot from youtube, not real clear but here it is:
