Quoted from MukiJames:I just found this theead, so please let me know, if I did not get it right.
You did wonderful! It's Escape from the Lost World. Spectacular to look at, lousy gameplay (imho)

Quoted from pinwiztom:As long as your visual clue
is for a USA manufacturer flipper game
you will be fine.
That's more like wishful thinking than it is an actual rule. Good luck, Tom. 
good luck

Well, no. That is a reason I keep taking a break from this thread. People will post a strange company or extremely low production game that we don't have a chance of figuring out and that sucks the fun out of it. And then they disappear without checking back to see if people need clues or not.
This thread has run great for thousands of posts when we stick to a few simple rules to keep it fun.

The simplicity of a rule doesn't make it a fair one, a good one or a non-debatable one.
Rule: From now on, I'm the boss of the world. Easy? Yes. Fair, good, non-debatable? No.
Time for a little nuance. I can definitely follow you in the sense that the picture should not be too difficult. And it would be nice if the poster gives a hint when necessary. Bottom line: a little difficulty is nice, but it should not become frustrating.
However, to me, only allowing games that were built in the USA is nonsense. Talk about taking the fun out. There are plenty of games that were built somewhere else and had a decent production run. You might not see 'em a lot in the States, but in Europe you come across them more than the last few US built EM games that were posted here.
Now, in the last picture I posted, I think there's plenty of clues. It was a production game and not some obscure prototype. And no, it wasn't built in the US. That should be enough info to narrow it down and keep it fun, no? Game on! 
Quoted from Jappie:It's Escape from the Lost World.
Should have gotten that one, but was busy with family matters last few days.
It was a good clue.
I am sure plenty of people groan
when O-din or I post visual clues
from some esoteric woodrail.

Nice one!
Talk about simple, debatable rules... these Spanish machines from the 90's have some of the worst rulesets in the history of pinball.

I'm actually looking for one of these. Anyone?
Quoted from LeonSpinkx:The S reminds me of Superman, but I can't find this on any Atari. Stumped!
It was made in the same timeframe, but isn't an Atari. This game has a unique way of distracting the player.
