another update, some great ideas and game exchange as well concept.  ^^^

"The two cabinets were showcasing the two different versions of the game expected to be produced. On the right is the playfield we showed you in our previous Circe's Animal House article while the backglass features the Jackass characters also featured in that article.

The cabinet on the left was demonstrating a new type of display which will be an option in place of the in-playfield LCD and offers a host of new possibilities.

Instead of a regular playfield glass, the playfield is covered by a glass sandwich, with tempered glass top and bottom covering a transparent LCD panel between. This allows full colour animations to appear inside the playfield glass, which means they can be positioned anywhere over the playfield. Scores can be placed over the apron, explosions over pop bumpers, arrows can appear indicating shots or targets to hit, and playfield art can animate without compromising the playfield design.

Additionally, the playfield glass sandwich can be touch-sensitive, allowing keyboards to be displayed for user names and records, status displays to pop-up on demand, and the possibility of interactive rules presentations, as well as providing easy access to the more mundane operator menus."
