So this is kind of stupid but it's driving me crazy. I bought a Robo-War a couple of months ago (which is an incredibly addictive game by the way...) and at some point in the past, someone put this random plastic on the right slingshot and not that it really matters, but I can't figured it what game it came from. I did some searching on ipdb looking at various fighting themes and karate themes but can't figure it out.
Anyone have any idea?

I just checked Last Action Hero on ipdb and it's not that one.

I think it is a slingshot plastic but they did cut out a hole for the post for the gate in the inlane.

Quoted from ForceFlow:

Well, it doesn't look like Black Belt, Dragonfist, or Zaccaria Black Belt.

Agree. I checked the playfield pics of those three on ipdb.

I got it! Double Dragon marquee. Pretty Neat. Looks like Spike's fist.

Wow! That's awesome. I would have never thought to look at arcade marquees. I guess they completely cut out the slingshot plastic from the marquee. Would have never thought of that.

Thank you for solving the mystery!

Quoted from dmbjunky:

Maybe someone thought of rethemeing Robo War into a Double Dragon.

Heh heh, I doubt it. Probably just a resourceful operator. The guy I bought the Robo-War from isn't a pinhead. It had been sitting in his game room next to a pool table, unplayed for years and he just wanted to get rid of it, but I believe he told me he bought it when a restaurant closed where it had been on location and who knows where it was before that. I'm sure the guy I bought it from didn't even realize the plastic wasn't part of the game originally.

Again, thanks for solving the mystery. Double Dragon did come to mind but when I determined there wasn't a Double Dragon pin, I started looking at other pins. It never occurred to me that someone might have carved up an arcade marquee to make a slingshot plastic.
