- The backglass depicts the Roman god Jupiter flexing his muscles while standing over a supine, naked woman.
This game is a wedge head version of the multi-player games Gottlieb's 1977 'Fire Queen' and Gottlieb's 1977 'Vulcan'. The playfield uses standup targets instead of drop targets and has no kick-out hole.
The three games pictured here are from Italy. One has visible score reels as well as a small LED display on the backglass (above the woman's head) used for biri-biri. The owner found no manufacturer name anywhere on the game. The other two games have a digital score display instead of score reels. No manufacturer name is evident in the pictures of them. All three games have front door hardware stamped 'Mondial' which suggests a conversion of Gottlieb. If so, it would appear easier to have converted a 1-player game instead of 'Fire Queen' or Vulcan', to allow the reuse of the wedge head backbox, and to avoid reengineering the mechanisms from a multi-player operation. The three games shown here all differ in their cabinet art. More information is needed to know if any artwork is original to this game.
If anyone has access to the score reel version of this game, we seek pictures of inside of the backbox as well as a close-up of the artist's signature on the backglass to clearly show the date. We also seek the manufacturer's documentation, if it exists.
