- IPDB This game is a conversion kit for Gottlieb's 1978 'Sinbad'. Claude Verpy, a collector in France and a good friend of the manufacturer, passed along this information: Christian Tabart told me that Sahara Love was based on Sinbad and 150 machines produced. The design and the new rules were his own work, and the art was approved by him as well. The games to be converted were shipped from France to Italy, and the games were assembled and decorated entirely in Italy by someone named Castagno in Milan for the technical part and by Baldazzi [The Pinball Shop] in Bologna for the art. All that was used from the original game was the prom, part of the wiring, electronic cards, and whatever parts that could be reused. All the rest of the necessary parts were available in Italy. The completed games were then shipped back to France. Tabart probably meant only the playfield layout was based on 'Sinbad' because the backglass and upper playfield artwork clearly show actress Brooke Shields who starred in the 1983 Hollywood movie "Sahara". Shown in this listing are two stickers which Tabart affixed to the aprons of the machines he operated in bars to identify himself as the owner and to advertise his company. used
