Memory Lane - SS tenpin bowling themed game with EM chimes. As there were only 2624 made, how many do you reckon made it to Australia?

What a fantastic looking backglass this game has.

Rare game here in Australia, I only know of one in a collection in Queensland.

Cool Looking Backglass.
Just a shame they put the credit & match displays where they did, I've always thought it stuffs the look of the Car.
I think there is one up here in Newcastle  !@# Might even be able to play it in a few weekends time  $#$

Well there's at least 4 in Australia then. Good luck with the hunt, it sounds as though this one could be tricky to land.

Interesting.

This game falls between Stingray and Stars. There's still quite a few of these around (particularly Stars as it had a higher production run)

So who was importing Stern games at the time?. LAI took over starting from Nugent as far as i know.

Operators used to buy them either from LAI, or directly from the USA. Dad used to import direct from the USA - He had all the early titles  - Pinball, Stingray, Stars etc - Right up to Big Game. Stars is still in the family.

big raunchy jugs on the backglass, quite adventerous for back then. i used to play it when i was about 12 at the coogee bay hotel. terry page owned the coogee bay hotel back then and it had a pinball hall with about 200 pinnies in it. the pinball hall was where the bistro is now (where they recently served the poo flavoured gelato). anyways, i remember very well playing the pinnie at the poogee bay hotel back in the day.

Dad was an Operator as far back as 1955. He operated Billiard and Soccer Tables that he made himself. Later on - Jukes, Bingos, Pinballs, EM Games and finally arcade machines.

He operated over 700 machines and sold/donated or threw out most of them. I have restored probably 30 of his machines over the years, some are still in storage. Retired from the amusement Industry in 1995.
