Can remember playing this is Sydney  ((( ((( (((

Was real slow and the flippers were weak...Alan Tate has 2 and one will be displayed when he sets all his games up.

The 'original Hercules' was produced in 1948 - off IPDB: This was an oversized game with 36 bumpers and no flippers. Backglass showed bulb scoring up to ten million points and also had a "One Billion" light. A center playfield bumper scored one billion when lit, suggesting that a final backglass score could exceed one billion points. The wooden legs are extremely long, and even adult players had to stand on boxes to play

'The Time of Your Life' was a James Cagney movie of 1948 based on William Saroyan's 1939 play. This pinball machine was made as part of a cancer fundraising project by the industry. It was set up in theater lobbies where the movie was playing

Interesting stuff Tony, Pisser that even adults had to stand on boxes to play *)*
