Another rarity at the show was this 1977 Gottlieb "Fire Queen" pin. The Internet Pinball Database mentions there were only 970 of these produced.

Here's a shot of the cabinet.

Notice the unique layout of the drop targets and the bonus area.

Another rarity was this 1982 Williams "Cosmic Gunfight" pin. The Internet Pinball Database mentions there were only 1,008 of these produced.

The Internet Pinball Database also mentions that this game was originally named "Dragon Fly."

The Internet Pinball Database shows a few pictures of one cabinet with orange paint, but identical artwork, which could possibly be a prototype.

Here's a shot of the playfield.

The Internet Pinball Database doesn't mention production numbers on "Playboy 35th Anniversary," however, this is the first one I have seen at a show.

There were actually two of these for sale inside the show.

Here's a shot of the playfield.

Here's a pin that is not so rare, Bally's "Wizard."

Remember the days when pinball machines were everywhere? Well, then you probably remember playing this pin. The Internet Pinball Database says there were just over 10,000 of these produced. Also, notice the likeness of Roger Daltrey and Ann Margaret, from my favorite movie of all time, "Tommy."

The playfield has three "flip flags," in other words, targets that flip over. The only other pins I know of with this feature is Bally's 1976 pins, "Flip-Flop" and "Slap Stick."

"Odds & Evens," is one of favorite Bally 70's pins.

I think I remember playing either this, or the four player version, "Monte Carlo," at Circus Circus in Las Vegas, when I was a kid. I like the roulette wheel theme, and how the bonus lights to earn the special are incorporated into this. Very clever.
