Quoted from Pinball-Steven:Hello, I just discovered this strange machine in my storage, I bought it some 20 years ago and forgot about it. It's from the german manufacturer NSM-Löwen who produced their own machines in 1985-86. This wasn't successful and they soon stopped it.
4 models were produced, HOT FIRE BIRDS, THE GAMES, COSMIC FLASH and TAG TEAM, 2 of them were Gottlieb-licensed, 2 of them were original european designs.
Now I got this machine here, no doubt based on Stern's Flight 2000 but with a standard-sized playboard. In 1985 Tennis became very popular in Germany and this explains why such a theme was chosen.
Maybe this should become the 5th NSM-machine but production was canceled.
Sadly the backglass is missing, of course I regret this but that's the way I bought it.

If it’s standard size then it’s probably a copy of Gamatron. With the double pop still in there.
That’s a cool find!
