- IPDB Only produced as a prototype. The outer backglass is largely clear glass with two hockey players in lower left area. In the upper left area are the words "Mike Bossy The Scoring Machine". This game is sometimes referred to as "The Scoring Machine", which was the nickname of that famous hockey player, but there is no game with just that name, even though some other machine lists include it as a separate game. You can find a reference to this in the Flyer on page 2. It says there: "And best of all it's the Mike Bossy scoring machine." We had indicated that Marc Raneses was the sole artist for this 1982 prototype game but had heard that artist Larry Day's signature is on the backglass. We asked Larry Day about that. He replies:Yes, indeed, I did the Mike Bossy game. I illustrated both the front and rear backglasses which made a unique effect when assembled. I also designed and illustrated the Mike Bossy logotype. I don't remember the playfield. If my signature is on the playfield then I guess it's also my art, although it doesn't look like my style. I do not know anything about Marc Raneses. I remember when Gil Pollock, one of the the owners/CEO of Premier, came to me with the theme, we all thought he had lost his marbles. No one knew who Mike Bossy was. If there were games assembled, it was very limited. Artist Marc Raneses subsequently told us that his work in the pinball industry started shortly after he got out of college in 1993 and was hired at Data East Pinball. used
