A very good example of EM prewar bumper focused pinball. With 4 (!) different scoring mechanisms (points, specials, pennants, runs), it clearly shows what pinball used to be in the old days: a form of gambling. Yes, you could win anything from cigarettes to money playing this game, depending on the location it was in.
Big League has a nice early backglass animation, in the form of a baseball player running between bases. The artwork is pretty simple, but the machine has lots of personality.
The game rings its bell for every 1000 points you get. Apart from that, there's the old school rattling of relays.
Gameplay is simple, but, with the different scoring mechanisms, complicated at the same time. It's also very addictive, especially when you play it with your 1940's glasses on. 'Ah, just one run short from winning that pack of cigs!'
