    Nice one, o-din. Thank you for the clues!

    Possibly easy:

    Quoted from tiesmasc:

    Centigrade 37... http://ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=480&picno=29909
    (Which isn't easy for a person who got into pinball in the 90's)
    Here's another easy one... not from the 90's

    Yes on C37, and that was fast!

    Very close, Ballypin!

    That is the correct manufacturer and the last three letters of the name were correct.

    Another hint: Ted Zale game.

    #149 7 years ago

    Nice job, LOTR_breath!

    And I think Ballypin had the machine in mind also!

    Great comic-style art from Gordon Morison!

    The enormous quantity of inspired backglass/playfield/plastic/cabinet work from him is hard to fathom.

    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:

    Quoted from o-din:

    Highways
    http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1178&picno=8047
    If it's not a portion of the playfield as stated in the original game rules, it should probably be stated so. I'll have one up in a bit.

    Hi o-din,

    Is your above statement advising that when photos of a backglass or cabinet are are being presented they should be noted as such (as opposed to when a playfield photo is posted)?

    Thanks!

    #443 7 years ago

    OK. Cool. I also had looked back at the OP, as I thought I had gone astray

    And I knew you would nail the wonderful Molentin Highways backglass!

    #457 7 years ago

    I am good with providing that information in posts.

    My most recent photo was from a Playfield.

    #466 7 years ago
    Quoted from pinwiztom:

    Obviously I would have gotten that one,
    but I was in transit from Portland to San Jose today,
    so have been offline most the day until now.

    And one of only three Bally games with Molentin art!

    #471 7 years ago
    Quoted from pinwiztom:

    I disagree with ipdb on the art credits on that game along with a few others (like Star Jet)
    Not Molentin at all
    IMHO.
    It is by some unknown artist that tried to emulate Milton Caniff,
    same artist did WMS Big Daddy and WMS '63 Big Deal
    and BLY Campus Queen and BLY Gold Rush and Fun Cruise
    and Wild Wheels and Star Jet.
    Molentin (i believe) did do the artwork on BALLY Hootenanny and Cue Tease though,
    and probably Cross Country and Monte Carlo
    even though ipdb does not credit him.

    Very interesting information, pinwiztom.

    I was basing the three number on ipdb, and I now look forward to reviewing/comparing the art and artists you cited.

    #484 7 years ago
    Quoted from pinwiztom:

    I would also add WMS Soccer and Whoopee and Pretty Baby to the list of credits by
    the unknown "Milton Caniff" influenced artist
    sorry to go off topic

    Hi pinwiztom,

    I couldn't agree with you more now that I compare the art.

    My untrained eye wants to also attribute Grand Tour and Band Wagon to that same artist (Star-Jet, Wild Wheels, Big Deal, etc.)

    And the Bazaar artwork credited to Molentin looks to me more like the artist for Harvest/Hay-Ride.

    I don't have broad knowledge across the artists/machines, but I do enjoy the art and learning more about it

    Thanks for the interesting information!

    #572 7 years ago

    I am seeing your posts and doing some searching, o-din, but I have not identified it!

    #574 7 years ago

    Are there any clues you can provide, o-din?

    #576 7 years ago

    Ugh. I was all over this era and overlooked it before. Thanks for the clue, o-din!

    Quoted from Gott_Lieb:

    Stern Split Second - http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2297&picno=40292&zoom=1
    Back to Counterforce. I picked one up many years ago. It is probably the best GTB Sys80 game, outside of Black Hole. Devil's Dare is probably the best 80A. As Tom stated, it is pinball meets Space Invaders. Very fun game.

    And Counterforce was the last Gottlieb machine with art by the amazing Gordon Morison.

    It does look like it would be fun!

    The backglass photo in Post # 1753 is from a machine manufactured by one of the "Big 3" U.S.A. companies (Bally, Gottlieb, Williams).

    1970s game.

    The same backglass artwork with a different machine name was used 4 years earlier on an Italian game of which very few were produced.

    #1755 6 years ago

    It has a pair of pop bumpers down near the flippers.

    #1758 6 years ago

    Hi Taxman.

    Ha! The photo is from my Abra backglass and until you asked and I looked closer, I hadn't noticed that stripe was from foam pad wear on the backside.

    There are three pads around the half-moon credit window (wear photos below) and the paint loss beneath the creature blends in well with the art!

    As I look back at the photo I posted, the hand on the stripe almost appears to be a sport theme excerpt (track?), and I apologize if that stripe took anyone down a wrong search path.

    Ugh. You are correct, Leon! Good memory.

    I just searched for the machine name (Vector) and located it in Post # 371.

    I certainly expect repeat machine appearances, but I don't want to repeat the same visual clues!

    So..... Here is a different one!:

    Hi Taxman.

    I feel this is from the same unknown artist who did the art on those 60s Bally games such as Grand Tour, Star-Jet (per earlier thread discussion that the S-J work was possibly incorrectly credited to George Molentin!), etc., but I certainly cannot find the machine

    Are you able to provide a clue?

    #2406 6 years ago

    Viking: http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=2738&picno=7561&zoom=1

    Bowl-A-Strike had different pop bumper caps, right?

    Which was one of the last (or the last) pin art package from the great Gordon Morison.

    I am sure we are repeating machines, Tom, but it is still fun to me as long as the photos are different

    Hi Tom,

    Can you provide a clue for the above post?

    #3394 5 years ago

    New York: https://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1673&picno=28044&zoom=1

    Did only New York have the stars on the half-moon? Looking at IPDB I don't see them on Pioneer/Spirit.

    Quoted from Gott_Lieb:

    AFAIK New York was the only one with stars. They must have repurposed the credit unit to handle extra balls instead. I just thought it was neat, and something that I never noticed before.

    Agreed. It is indeed a neat artistic touch!

    I would very much enjoy reading about your artist findings/observations, Tom!

    Interesting consideration for the On Beam artwork. I can maybe see a touch of the Mystery Artist in the work (although, it is not nearly as recognizable as most of the MA pieces), but I don't see signature Marche either
