Quoted from pinwiztom:From one of my favorite Games (artwork wise)
Bally Magic Circle - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1513&picno=35299&zoom=1
While sorting through plastics, I know this one had me stumped for quite awhile.
Jim
Bally Capersville - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=431&picno=40312&zoom=1
I don't think anyone will get this one, unless they intimately know the game.

HINT: Morison was the artist for this one
Jim
Quoted from pinwiztom:now its my turn
Williams Big Deal (1963) - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=244&picno=48069&zoom=1
Jim
Quoted from AvidListener:Great comic-style art from Gordon Morison!
The enormous quantity of inspired backglass/playfield/plastic/cabinet work from him is hard to fathom.
My favorite pinball artist by far. Christian Marche comes in second along with Paul Faris in third.
Jim
Quoted from pinwiztom:this may be a tough one unless you have seen the game before.
kinda rare
I've looked and looked, but I've got nothing! I believe I've seen this "new concepts in pinball" before, I just don't recall where. The artwork looks like it is from an 80's solid state game.
Jim
Quoted from pinwiztom:2nd clue
USA made but
game not from one of the Big 3
That's interesting, because I was looking at stuff like Capt. Hook, Af-Tor, Sharpshooter II, and a couple other off brands because of the earthtones / wood grain in your pic.
The motto sounds like it would be fitting for PinStar kits. 
At least it's not "The Next Trend". 
Jim
Nice one, Tom!
Bally Star Jet - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2347&picno=10971 Great artwork!
Jim
Quoted from AvidListener:Hi All,
Ballypin correctly guessed Flash Gordon yesterday. Nice!
And good photo post, Gott_Lieb!
I am not sure if a new photo is forthcoming, so I am going to post one to keep the thread going:
Nice one!
Bally Grand Tour - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1081&picno=6556
Next one may be a little tough.
Love the game!
Jim

Bally Bali-Hi - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=135&picno=39167&zoom=1
@ LeaonSpinkx - I'm pulling pics primarily from IPDB
I made the next one bigger than I normally would, because I think it would be really tough otherwise.

HINT: It's an event that happens once a year.
Quoted from pinwiztom:From one of the rarer games that i have owned.
Probably one of the least fun to play.
That's funny that you were going to post the bullfighter from Mardi Gras too!
This one is Bally Fore - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=917&picno=38374&zoom=1

Well, since Tom didn't put one up yet, I'll put one up.
I'm sorry, but the Steve Martin pic with an arrow through his head is not called Arrowhead! Appropriate pic, o-din!
Jim
Quoted from LeonSpinkx:The pin I was going to use is/was a Data East.
It was a struggle, but it's a Zac Time Machine - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=3494&picno=18812&zoom=1. I do not know Zac artwork at all!
Next, this one should be easy for a handful of people.
Nice catch on SI and Paul Bunyan, Tom!
And pinballkim's is a great one! Gottlieb Tag Team Pinball - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2489&picno=66961&zoom=1
Next may be easy or not. I'm not certain.
Quoted from dothedoo:Flight 2000
http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=887&picno=15834&zoom=1
Next: (hint: most of the playfield is blue)
I was banking on you to get it, Bill.
This one is Genesis. One of the little workers under the PF window, which I had to touch up on mine many moons ago! http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=996&picno=54099&zoom=1
This one may be really hard, unless you intimately know the game.
Quoted from LeonSpinkx:I didn't know Nick Diaz modeled for a pin.
/any clues?
Sorry, I fell asleep at the wheel here (forgot to check in last night).
HINT: Game is somewhat talkative.
Black Knight was a good guess, but not it.
Quoted from aobrien5:That's from the backglass yes?
Yes, the pic is from the backglass.
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:Sorry, I fell asleep at the wheel here (forgot to check in last night).
HINT: Game is somewhat talkative.
Black Knight was a good guess, but not it.
HINT 2: Half of the name of this game was used in a later game by the same manufacturer.
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:HINT 2: Half of the name of this game was used in a later game by the same manufacturer.
HINT 3:First speaking pinball
Quoted from Ballypin:Playfield detail
Bally Flip Flop - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=889&picno=10201&zoom=1. Incidentally, I worked on one this past week and a different one the week before.
Next one is fitting for most of the US right now.

HINT: "You've Got a Friend"
Quoted from pinwiztom:Very innovative game for the time.
Might be a hard one, unless you are familiar.
Chicago Coin Festival (the first with a horizontal roto, IIRC) - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=833&picno=10664

I guess it's not so easy. HINT: When the grid goes down.
Quoted from pinwiztom:not the funhouse you all know
Bally Loop the Loop - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1475&picno=30686&zoom=1
Here's an odd one
Looks like a reverse image of Dwight from TWD. Tough one. Wico Af-Tor - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=25&picno=68003
Next is a duck with a hat and bow. Makes perfect sense!
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:Looks like a reverse image of Dwight from TWD. Tough one. Wico Af-Tor - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=25&picno=68003
Next is a duck with a hat and bow. Makes perfect sense!
HINT: This image is from the backglass. Laurel and Hardy's humor was commonly referred to as this.
Quoted from dothedoo:Tough one...not much to go on. Here's another hint:
Bally Flicker - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=883&picno=21946
Sorry, your pic was from the PF, although they use the same pic of Frankenstein in both areas - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=883&picno=15408
Quoted from o-din:The company that made this one was still making EMs after the first solid states arrived on the scene.
Clue sounds like a red herring. GTB, BLY, and WMS were all making EMs, after 1st SS's showed up.
I have no clue what this one is from.
Quoted from LeonSpinkx:It's a wide body.
Gottlieb Genie - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=997&picno=40914&zoom=1
Next, more clowns, more ducks, a chicken, and a cop
I forgot to add that this is from a backglass.
Quoted from pinwiztom:GTB Flying circus
http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=902&picno=32258
I'm glad that Flying Circus didn't turn into "Odin's Revenge".
Quoted from pinwiztom:Never played one
but something similar.
Bally Galaxy Ranger - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=981&picno=6278
Next one is from the backglass
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:Bally Galaxy Ranger - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=981&picno=6278
Next one is from the backglass
HINT: Another excerpt from the backglass
Quoted from pinwiztom:my initial gut instinct says Stern Flight 2000
but that is not it.
Got to go catch a flight home to Oregon
so someone else is going to have to guess it.
Good guess on the Galaxy Ranger, Mr. Gott_Lieb
I've always like the artwork on Galaxy Ranger. I actually prefer the artwork of the Capt. Fan home version too. Too bad these games were mediocre versions of an already mediocre game.
Jim
Quoted from LeonSpinkx:Playfield.
X's &O's?
Confirmed it's X's & O's - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2822&picno=7977&zoom=1. I just worked on one for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Fun little game!
Quoted from LeonSpinkx:Another winner for Mr. Lieb. Mind saying where on the pin your clue is? Not required, of course.
Sorry, it is from the backglass.
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:Confirmed it's X's & O's - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2822&picno=7977&zoom=1. I just worked on one for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Fun little game!
HINT: The artwork was slightly modified and used for a US pinball show.

LAST HINT: This should be the giveaway. It was Jim Lovell's target.
Quoted from pinwiztom:Beautiful BG artwork, back lit animation of the rocket shooting at the moon is also fun
for a carry-over special feature game to game.
One of a few games that I actually got paid to repair/service
back when i freelanced my limited pinball knowledge for cash
for a local operator on games he did not want to bother servicing ( older EMs).
One of the last pins with the coin slide reset/activation.
Quoted from pinwiztom:This segways to another pin that i never owned
but did some repair/service work on.
One of my favorite pointy people artwork games.

GTB Lovely Lucy - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1481&picno=40452&zoom=1. Ironically, that is a pic that I took of one of our customer's games several years ago. That particular game is gorgeous! The husband received it as payment in the mid-60's, and they still have it.
Next will be an ignorant one (probably). It's from the PF.

Zoomed out a bit
Quoted from pinwiztom:From a game that i think,
i have seen only once in person
I have yet to see one myself, but we have some NOS translites for it.
Sega Lost in Space - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=4442&picno=21433.
Never played or worked on the next one, until today.

Zoomed out
Quoted from pinwiztom:i take that back
I wondered if you had the PF shot rotated or not
Then thought back to
the pin where some of the scoring shots can only be made
by shooting downward
ala a pin that i used for a clue (with BG shot) a few days ago.
Not thinking it would come back to haunt us.
Anyway its Stern's VIPER (again)
http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2739&picno=65736
Quoted from pinwiztom:From a classic BG
WMS Eager Beaver - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=752&picno=39573&zoom=1. I could tell it was Stenholm, I just had to confirm which one.
Next is one of the my favorites as far as artwork goes. Never played the game though.
Quoted from pinwiztom:This pin was a transitional game.
It's a Williams. Probably from the late 60's.
Quoted from pinwiztom:This is my wife's reaction when i spend too much time with pinball
The targets are a dead giveaway that it's an Atari. I'll guess Superman.
WMS Hayburners II - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1143&picno=20016
Quoted from pinwiztom:here is another CAB art puzzle quiz
Chicago Coin Beatniks?
Confirmed - http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=214
Quoted from pinwiztom:GOTT
how did you get that, i thought it would be tough despite the big piece of the PF showing.
I could tell that it was Williams style of art. Not certain how I knew it was Hayburners II, but I confirmed it to myself.
Quoted from LeonSpinkx:I'm guessing this will be easy but I'm never certain: (and I'm a huge Monty Python fan)
No idea. Domestic game?
Quoted from LeonSpinkx:Another change of pace. Here's one I don't even remember, but I think I can get it figured out.
WMS Honey http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1230&picno=8352&zoom=1
Quoted from pinwiztom:This should be fairly easy
Andromeda?
Quoted from Boof-Ed:This is on a backglass
I've seen this somewhere, but I can't recall where. It looks like the artist for Atari, but I don't think it is.
Quoted from pinwiztom:A Good Ol' American game.
One of the few (non Woodrail) EMs that I have
never seen or played in person.
Hmmmm... a messenger ball game that I've never seen. I know of Skylab / Spacelab, Jubilee / Darling, Flying Circus, Sunset, and Whoopee. Actually, this may be Whoopee. I'm not familiar with the plastic Whoopee used.

Ahhh, it's not a plastic after all. It's chrome with a reflection - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2772&picno=27716&zoom=1. That one was pretty sneaky, Tom. It's not a bad game. The Old Sled Works had one years ago that I played.
Digging up this thread from the digital grave! Playmatic UFO-X - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=3347&picno=8065&zoom=1.
Quoted from pinwiztom:In honor of my recent visit to o-din's collection
The same but not quite the same
I've seen this before, but I can't recall what it is. Looks like Bally art, but had red posts like WMS games.
Jim
WMS Touchdown or Kickoff - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2609&picno=44445
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:WMS Touchdown or Kickoff - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2609&picno=44445

Confirmed Hula Hula - http://ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1253&picno=56350&zoom=1
Quoted from pinwiztom:The yellow/orange clawhand against the pink background
has the look of a Spanish pin maybe InterFlip
( or Recreativos Franco), though could be italian.
Just does not look like a domestic game.
HINT: I will never post anything but domestic games. Also, this is a pretty uncommon, and sought after game.
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:HINT: I will never post anything but domestic games. Also, this is a pretty uncommon, and sought after game.
HINT 2: The name of the game was used for a previous game, however, neither game is related to one another.

GTB Eclipse - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=756&picno=64172
I'll pass this time, and let someone else post a clue.
Quoted from LeonSpinkx:Since no one else has posted I'll put up what is probably a really easy clue:
Nope, not an easy clue. I know F-14 has the word kill somewhere, but this looks like something Python did. No idea at this point.
Jim
After I thought about it a little, it is Python after all. WMS Big Guns - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=250&picno=38648.
I'm passing again. Someone else post a pic, please.
Quoted from gmkalos:Good luck your going to need it!
It looks like a shot from a video screen. So what is it?
Jim
Quoted from gmkalos:I thought this was a game...not gimme the answers lol
It's not gimme the answers, but you have given no hints or clues whatsoever. If you want to play "stump the chump", I'll play along. I could have easily done the same 10+ times.

http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1902&picno=38241
Easy one -
Rack Em Up is a fun shooter's game. It's gawd awful ugly, but fun.
GTB Card Whiz / Royal Flush - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=447&picno=52058&zoom=1
Quoted from pinwiztom:BG clue
I just worked on two of these within the past month. Never worked on or played one prior to that. Funky bonus advance (not collect) on this game.
Quoted from Taxman:Williams yes. Those colors are from a much clearer promotional photo. Here is a tiny version from actual BG.
WMS OXO - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1733&picno=11587
Quoted from pinwiztom:Clue: it is not La La Land
Also the artwork is not C.Marche, despite what ipdb.org might say
ChiCoin Playtime - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=3894&picno=19587&zoom=1 And no, it does not look like Marche's work at all.

Quoted from Gott_Lieb:I won't let this one go too long. I'm just curious if anyone else knows what it is. I was not aware of it, until a customer pointed it out to me. I expect Bill to get it out of anyone else.
I should have mentioned this, but it seems obvious to me. This is on a playfield plastic.

The chicken coop clue :
for some reason
before your 10-20 hint
i did check out Bally TruckStop
since I thought it kinda country themed,
did not think to go with night rider.
We have a customer who transports chickens for a living. They specifically bought Night Rider because of that plastic. I never noticed it before, until they pointed it out.
Nice! Keeney Go Cart - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1020&picno=40305

Quoted from Taxman:Bowl-O
http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=368&picno=13705
This is from a backglass of a game I have never seen or played in person. But I want to because it has a certain feature I like on many games.
Quoted from pinwiztom:BLY Rockmakers of course
with Jerry Kelley artwork.
I did have this game, but now donated to the Pacific Pinball Museum.
Never really played it though, as it went into storage as soon as I bought it,
and can not really remember playing it anywhere or at any shows,
certainly not one that was tuned up and shopped out.
If I remember right bought it from a fellow collector (Pat from Culver City?)
that was clearing out some of his storage units.

and did not hit send when i did.
here is another new clue
with a big hint
1st pin that i bought from this era.
In fact ended up acquiring two,
one still in my permanent collection

Yeah, I thought that Mardi Gras was *almost* fitting.
WMS Alpine Club - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=63&picno=38352
Next is of the PF again
Quoted from pinwiztom:This one may be tricky
in order to get the exact right game
but it is obvious once you know what to look for.
Magic City / Town?
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:Magic City / Town?
Quoted from Taxman:It was Magic Town (red credit window) while Magic City has white center.
Good point! I forgot to look at the credit window.
Quoted from pinwiztom:hey
what do you know
i posted a non EM clue
BLY Gold Ball - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1024&picno=25862

I had an epiphany! Stern Dracula - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=728&picno=27419. The flames on the right are what made me think of it. Nice selection!
Next. Should be easy.
Quoted from aobrien5:Flames were going to be my next clue.
That's Mystic again.

and now for something completely different
from the PF
Allied Leisure Hoe Down - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1252&picno=68985
Next
Quoted from aobrien5:It's on the playfield.
Calling for a hint of some sort.
Quoted from pinwiztom:Hopefully this one will not be as tough
GTB Hot Shots - http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1248 PS I used this same pic some time ago.
And no, Rock is not a "street level" game. And yes, I should have gotten that one, as we've had several Rocks over the years. Still have a PF that is half artwork, half whitewood.
Quoted from pinwiztom:Unless you are familiar
this one might be hard
BLY Transporter the Rescue - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2630&picno=30867. Excellent game! I passed one onto a buddy about 11 years ago. After he got it going, I really regretted that. Turned a customer / friend onto the game, and did an NOS PF swap on it for him last year.
Quoted from Taxman:Tx Sector - I was playing one yesterday. Also missed out on the NBA. Played in a linked tournament yesterday.
http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2699&picno=53588

That looks like the color scheme of Barb Wire, Gerry.
Jim
Quoted from fossmin:Can any one identify what game this plastic goes to?
Thanks
Gerry
Or maybe Mario Andretti
Quoted from LeonSpinkx:Probably an easy one. BG.
Stern Magnum P.I. (whoops! We gave away Stern's next, top secret title!!! )
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:Stern Magnum P.I. (whoops! I / we gave away Stern's next, top secret title!!! )
Quoted from dothedoo:Ha! I was gonna say Sonny and Cher.
^WINNER!!!! GAME OVER!
Quoted from pinwiztom:I did not think this clue was going to be so tough, either that or everyone has grown tired of the quiz game.
Anyway a helpful hint might be
think of this game as what makes pinball
the fun and competitive game of skill it is today.
I;m not tired of the game. I just don't recognize this title. The fonts used make it look like a Gottlieb, but that narrows it down to about 50 games.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:target alpha
http://ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2500&picno=42287
here's something domestic for you guys
Stern Orbitor 1 - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1725&picno=18698
WMS Stellar Wars - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2372&picno=7670&zoom=1
Quoted from dothedoo:Thought it was Mars God of War at first, but I knew colors were wrong. Then thought of Spirit.
http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2292&picno=14321&zoom=1
GTB Pro Football - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1865&picno=35348
A day late for this one.
Quoted from LeonSpinkx:Time Machine. I have the second highest score on pinside; didn't even need to IPDB it. New clue soon.
http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2565&picno=34258&zoom=1
This is a different type of clue. It's a very popular pin with some upper bits removed.
It took me awhile to process what this is, but I kept thinking about that bar across the lanes. BLY Twilight Zone
Quoted from Taxman:Twilight Zone beneath the mini playfield.
http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2684&picno=37888&zoom=1
Wow! Beaten by 30 seconds again! Way to go, Dave!
Quoted from Taxman:Not very common, but we have one at The Sanctum to play (from the playfield).
Stern Viper - www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2739&picno=2620
Quoted from Taxman:Wow, that was quick. Until The Sanctum go one last year I don't remember playing one. Cool looking game, but I don't particularly like playing.
I just repaired one about 2 months ago, so the image was stuck in my head.
I agree. It's cool to look at, but not that great to play. IMO, it would be a much better game w/o the turret shooter smack dab in the middle of the PF.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:is that the shape of the plastic or has it been cropped?
Cropped
Quoted from pinwiztom:PF plastic: most definitely some 80s era pin, though could be later or Euro mfr
but feeling WMS or maybe BLY, not so much GTB.
Looks like Connie Mitchell's work?
Not Euro. I posted an import once on here (Jolly park), and won't do it again.
Quoted from lmsybiatb:Here ya go
Stern ALI - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=43&picno=34293
Quoted from CaptainNeo:escape from lost world. I think.
yes..yes it is.
http://ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=789&picno=35169&zoom=1
here's another.
Bally Spectrum? Confirmed Spectrum - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2274&picno=41818. I miss mine. Loved that game!
Quoted from Taxman:Six Million Dollar Man
http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2165&picno=30612&zoom=1Hint, while this might be very small on the playfield you still might just, recognize it
DE Rocky and Bullwinkle - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=23&picno=32136
Quoted from Taxman:I did not want to say cartoon or you may have seen it on TV. But you saw that cabin at the beginning of each episode.
I know the cartoon, but I don't remember the cabin at all.
Quoted from Taxman:Yes, but when I owned one it did not have that nice of a look.
Most don't. The girls all have hair on their legs, after years of games played.
Bally Campus Queen - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=424&picno=10323&zoom=1
Quoted from aobrien5:Sorry for the blur!
WMS Funhouse - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=966&picno=9849&zoom=1
Someone else can post a pic.
Quoted from Taxman:If no one is posting here is one -
Wow, this is one of 3 threads on fire this morning. I thought is was just a few of us having a bit of fun.
Bally Flash Gordon - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=874&picno=17614&zoom=1

Next the lineup.
DE Laser War - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1415&picno=32837&zoom=1
Quoted from StormyX73:Let's try this one.
I was thinking Superman, but that's not it either.
Quoted from Taxman:To me it looks like the edge of a plastic on a support. The left side of the picture is a plastic with the explosion and bricks. The upper right is the playfield below the plastic. The art looks slightly different.
Ah, I see that now. Still, no idea what it is.
Quoted from Taxman:Yup. Pretty sure that it up there. No good close up on IPDB.
http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1970&picno=4539&zoom=1
This will be easier.
Quoted from Taxman:Hurdy Gurdy
http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1256&picno=30180&zoom=1
You took the better picture from the Italian version
http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=4776&picno=45202
Probably too easy.
Bally Black Pyramid - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=312&picno=53910&zoom=1
Quoted from pinwiztom:Point i wanted to make is
that i do not think this game (nor central park)
were done by parker,
but actually stenholm
what do you guys think?
That's a tough call. There have been a lot of discussions of who did what during that time period. North Star comes to mind. Part of it looks like Parker, while part looks like Stenholm. If you compare Cross Town / Subway to Central Park / Hurdy Gurdy, the cop in CP / HG looks like the men on Cross Town - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=481&picno=9702&zoom=1 and http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=601&picno=61311. It's my belief that Stenholm was told to emulate Parker, when doing Gottlieb art at first. I say this, because Stenholm's artwork changed its style around this time.
Sorry for the heartache on the last one, Tom.
Gottlieb Contest - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=564&picno=30109
Quoted from pinwiztom:how about this one
Looks like a Bally of some sort from around the mid-80's, but I have no clue.
Quoted from pinwiztom:how about this one
I was thinking that the only thing it could have been was X's & O's, and it is - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2822&picno=7975&zoom=1
Quoted from pinwiztom:one of my favorite examples of PF babes
WMS Oh Boy, I think?
Quoted from Taxman:Jacks to Open
http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1282&picno=23715&zoom=1
Wow, you guys went through a few. I left off on the pool table green for Pinball Pool.
GTB Genie - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=997&picno=36053 Some of Morison's most fantastic work on that game!
Quoted from Taxman:Checking Who Dunnit
Yup - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=3685&picno=8340
I don't like it much either. But it is cool that I don't know any other game where you can lower your score (not just award or bonus) through betting.
Several Gottlieb Sys3 games where the design was by Jon Norris, featured an "all or nothing" option at certain points in the game. If you did not make a specific shot in the allotted time or drain, you would lose your score completely.
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:The colors look like WMS Pat Hand, maybe.
Confirmed. Pat Hand - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1767&picno=11456
Next
Quoted from Taxman:Damn, I didn't get it until I started thinking of a newer game with pops on a left orbit.
Left orbit (especially through pops) = most Lawlor games
Quoted from Taxman:Yes, but I didn't know the pops were on the left until the updated picture.
So here is a cow -
Twister?
Quoted from pinwiztom:here is the only cow on twister
I was judging by the PF colors and the blurriness of the artwork. Next guess would be X-Files, but I don't recall a cow.
Quoted from pinballkim:Ok, one to go with your morning coffee.
Game Plan Andromeda?
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:Game Plan Andromeda?
Quoted from pinwiztom:glub glub
I'm out. I just checked all of the Ballys and one Williams that I though it may have been. This looks like the artwork used on mid to late 60's United shuffle / ball bowlers.
Quoted from LeonSpinkx:Took a while using the movie clue: Pot O Gold! http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1857&picno=27603
Stern Cheetah - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=500&picno=39714
Someone else can post the next pic.
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:Stern Cheetah - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=500&picno=39714
Someone else can post the next pic.
No takers? FINE!!! Here's the next one from the playfield.
Quoted from AvidListener:Loop The Loop: http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1475&picno=45707
Neat layout on that one, Gott_Lieb
Next one:
I worked on the second LTL that I have ever seen a couple of days ago. I forgot how much fun it was! Between the extra left slingshot and the spinning bumper, it's a very lively game.
GTB Duotron / Magnotron - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1519&picno=40421
Quoted from CaptainNeo:tales of the arabian nights.

GTB Tee'd Off - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2508&picno=28949&zoom=1
Quoted from LeonSpinkx:Any hints?
HINT: TNT
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:HINT: TNT
HINT 2: Solid state game with no speech.
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:HINT 2: Solid state game with no speech.
Zoomed out
Quoted from pinwiztom:Finally
http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1633&picno=49657
BLY Motordome
Not really sure where the TNT clue ties in,
but i have never played this pin, maybe but once.
The original visual clue,
always thought it was some sort of gear wear chest plate
but was looking in all the wrong places.
TNT = The Next Trend It's what Bally was pitching their new 6803 series as. Most had "TNT" on the apron. Never really caught on apparently.
And in searching for TNT Ballys, I found your clue, which I would have never found otherwise. Bally City Slicker - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=527&picno=46045&zoom=1
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:Sorry for the crappy pic. Nothing decent on the IPDB, and I did not take a great pic of it either. From the BG
HINT: The original T Z
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:HINT: The original TZ
HINT 2: The playfield artwork between the sample and production run was totally different and a different color scheme. The cabinet had the same art, but again a totally different color scheme. Kind of an oddity, IMHO.
