Night Moves came home yesterday! I love this game.

Question for the group: Who did the art on the International Concepts games? We know that they're Gottlieb productions designed by Trudeau, but I've never seen the artwork credited. I suspect it's the work of Larry Day - the figures and faces look similar in style to his work on Rock, the silhouetted palm trees remind me of Hollywood Heat and the tiger stripe texture is a lot like his work on Spring Break.

But Day quit Gottlieb/Premier in 1988, a year before Night Moves was produced. Is it more likely that Constantino Mitchell did the art or that Day was hired back as a freelancer for this little side project?

Excellent insight, Jappie, thanks! I've also noticed that the Night Moves promo flyer shows completely different, rather generic artwork - another indication that the final art was a last minute decision. I like the theory that it was adapted from Day's earlier, unused playfield artwork they had on hand.

If anyone knows Larry Day or anyone who was at Premier at the time, please ask - I'm genuinely curious about this!

I fitted my Night Moves with LED's and Titan silicone rings (mostly clear). It's looking like an 80's dream!

Besides the usual (pops and switches working, plastics intact), make sure all the segments work on the display. A little wear around the display window is common.

Cold white. It may not be original, but it suits the game's 80's dance club theme a lot better.

Now I kinda want to convert all my chimes to marimbas.
