A friend came upon a picture he took in the late 80s or early 90s of a Roger Rabbit inspired pinball backglass (pictured below), and asked if anyone in an unrelated forum had heard of it. The game is called "Pool Rabbit" by "MM Computer Games." Other forum members chimed in saying it was made by an Italian company called ManilaMatic in 1985, and the playfield is possibly a flipped "Eight Ball" layout. The fluorescent display smacks a bit of later Gottlieb boards. IPDB has precious little information on the game, and no pictures. Search engines come up with even less information.

 

So I turn to the international pinball gurus here. Has anyone seen this table in the wild, or have an example of it in their collection? What's the table layout like? Anyone have any other pictures of the game? Anyone have any more info than what I've posted above?

 

Thanks very kindly for any and all help you can give.
