I have a soft spot for some of those early Data East pins - especially those that tie in with movie licenses. I played my fair share of Laser War at our local Aladdin's Castle arcades. A few years later, my local pizza spot acquired a '91 Batman and eventually added a Star Wars. They did get on my shit list for skipping Batman Returns but chose Forever.
For those that poo poo on artwork, take a look some stripped playfields for Hook and POTO - things of beauty!
I noticed on a fair share of Data East pins, they're lamp inserts that were never used (Batman, POTO, to name a few..)
I always wondered since Data East was on a tear signing top ip's; I was thinking some of those from the summer of '89, if they ever went after the Indiana Jones are Ghostbusters license.
