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.
